Print Recipe

A delightful vegetarian main dish perfect for holidays, featuring savory mushrooms encased in flaky puff pastry.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound cremini mushrooms, finely chopped
  • 1 cup finely chopped shallots
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  4. Stir in the chopped mushrooms and cook until they release their liquid and it evaporates, about 10-15 minutes.
  5. Add walnuts, breadcrumbs, parsley, and thyme to the mushroom mixture. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is well combined and slightly thickened. Let it cool completely.
  6. Unfold the puff pastry sheet onto a lightly floured surface.
  7. Spoon the cooled mushroom filling onto the center of the puff pastry, shaping it into a log.
  8. Fold the puff pastry over the filling, trimming any excess dough. Pinch the edges to seal.
  9. Place the Wellington on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  10. Brush the top and sides of the Wellington with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
  11. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and puffed up.
  12. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For an extra rich flavor, you can add a tablespoon of soy sauce or tamari to the mushroom filling.
  • Ensure the mushroom mixture is completely cool before assembling to prevent the puff pastry from becoming soggy.
  • Feel free to add other finely chopped vegetables like carrots or celery to the filling for added texture and flavor.
