Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 oz cremini mushrooms, finely chopped
  • 1 cup cooked rice
  • 15 oz black beans, mashed
  • 0.5 cup chopped walnuts
  • 0.25 cup breadcrumbs
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried sage
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce (or to taste)
  • 1 sheet vegan puff pastry (14 oz), thawed
  • plant-based milk, for brushing
  • sesame seeds, optional topping

Equipment

  • skillet
  • mixing bowl
  • spatula or spoon
  • baking sheet
  • parchment paper
  • pastry brush

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet and sauté onion for 5 minutes until softened. Add garlic and mushrooms and cook until all liquid evaporates, about 8 minutes.
  2. In a large bowl, mix cooked mushroom mixture with rice, mashed beans, walnuts, breadcrumbs, parsley, thyme, sage, soy sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix until the filling holds together.
  3. Shape filling into a log and place in the center of puff pastry. Fold pastry over, seal the edges, and trim excess. Score the top for decoration.
  4. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place Wellington seam side down on parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush with plant-based milk and sprinkle sesame seeds if using.
  5. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until golden and puffed. Remove from oven and let rest 10 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Chill the filling before wrapping to make assembly easier. Score the pastry for a decorative finish and always let the Wellington rest before slicing to maintain structure. Add dried cranberries or chestnuts for a festive touch.
