An easy vegan wellington made with mushrooms, lentils and spinach. It is made with ready rolled puff pastry and it is perfect for holiday and family gatherings like Christmas and Thanksgiving. It is delicious and full of flavours, and perfect with gravy. It is vegan and can be made gluten-free.
Wellingtons are traditionally made with beef, for this vegan version I used lentils , mushrooms, spinach and walnuts cooked with a mix of onion, garlic and carrot and seasoned with herbs and soy sauce. The combination of mushrooms, lentils and walnuts is great to give a meaty and umami flavour.
This goodness is wrapped in puff pastry. Who doesn’t love puff pastry? It is crispy, buttery (without the butter) and delicious!
