Ingredients

Dough
  • all-purpose flour

    250 grams

  • cold vegan butter

    120 grams

  • ice-cold water

    as needed

Filling
  • mixed mushrooms

    200 grams

  • onion

    1 medium

  • garlic

    2 cloves

  • thyme

    a few sprigs


Instructions

  • 1
    Begin by preparing the dough, combining flour, cold vegan butter, and ice-cold water to form a flaky pastry.

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and cold vegan butter. Use a pastry blender or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice-cold water, stirring with a fork until the dough comes together in a ball. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  • 2
    Sauté the onion, garlic, and mushrooms in a little oil until they're softened and fragrant.

    Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until it's softened and translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent burning. Add the mixed mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and start to brown.

  • 3
    Assemble the Wellington by spreading the filling over one half of the dough, leaving a border around the edges.

    On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to a large rectangle, about 1/4-inch thick. Spoon the cooked mushroom filling over one half of the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges. Brush the edges with a little water to help the pastry stick together.

  • 4
    Place the Wellington on a baking sheet and brush the top with a little oil.

    Carefully place the Wellington on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, with the seam-side down. Brush the top of the pastry with a little oil and make a few small slashes in the top to allow steam to escape during baking.

    I must say, I'm thoroughly impressed with this Vegan Mushroom Wellington recipe! As a lover of traditional Irish cuisine, I'm thrilled to see a vegan twist on a classic dish. The use of flaky pastry and earthy mushrooms is a match made in heaven, and I appreciate the fact that it's free from dairy products - a must for me due to my lactose intolerance. The instructions are clear and easy to follow, although I do think the recipe could benefit from a few more visuals to help novice bakers. My only suggestion would be to use locally sourced, organic ingredients to minimize the environmental impact of this dish. Perhaps the use of vegan butter could be swapped out for a more sustainable alternative? Overall, this recipe is a game-changer for vegans and vegetarians looking to impress their friends and family with a show-stopping main course. Well done!

    I must confess, the sight of the Vegan Mushroom Wellington unfolding from the oven, its golden pastry layers glistening with promise, had me weak in the knees. As I sliced into its tender, flaky core, the earthy aroma of sautéed mushrooms wafted up, transporting me to a Mexican forest, where the trees whisper secrets of the ancients. The flavors dancing on my palate were nothing short of a fiesta - the savory notes of thyme, the mirthful twirl of garlic, and the unbridled joy of onion, all harmonizing in perfect symphony. My flexitarian heart swelled with pride, knowing I'd created a dish that would satisfy the most discerning palates, while keeping my pantry peanut-free. If I were to quibble, it's that the Wellington, much like a perfectly crafted taco, left me yearning for a dollop of spice, a sprinkle of creativity to take it from sublime to transcendent. Yet, for an expertly woven, flaky pastry that would impress even the most skeptical of dinner guests, this recipe earns a solid 4 stars, minus one only for the whisper of a wish: add a pinch of red pepper flakes, and ¡esta receta estará completa!

    Honestly, this Vegan Mushroom Wellington recipe is a total drag for me, homes. I mean, I love a good veggie dish, but this one's got gluten coming outta its ears, you feel? And don't even get me started on the whole 'pastry' vibe - I'm a Latina girl, I need my arepas, empanadas, and tamales, not some fancy-schmancy European-inspired stuff. The flavors are on point, though - mushrooms and spices, yum! But, for real, if I'm gonna make this, I'd have to gluten-free it up and add some Latin flava. Maybe some Colombian-style aji amarillo pepper or Mexican oregano? Anyway, as is, it's not my cup of tea, but I can see why you gringos would be into it, lol.

    I tried out this Vegan Mushroom Wellington reciepe, honestly wasnt expecting much cos im a big meat lover. turns out the flavor of the mushrooms and the thyme was actuall pretty good! However, i wouldve prefered if it had some sort of meat filling, like prosciutto or somethin. The pastry was flaky and nice tho. Not really my thing, but i can see why some ppl would like it. probably make a good dish for a dinner party or somethin. Oh and btw, it was nice to not have to worry about lactose for once lol

    Oh my goodness, lovely people! I must say, this Vegan Mushroom Wellington recipe is so... fancy, you know? But, unfortunately, it's not really for me, sweethearts. First, I miss my beloved meat, you know, a nice juicy kebab would make my heart happy! And then, there's the gluten, oh no! My tummy would not be very happy if I ate all that lovely pastry. But, I must say, the method, the presentation, everything is just so beautifully explained. If you're a vegan, and you don't have gluten issues, you will probably love this recipe, darlings! Maybe I can try to make something similar with rice flour, or use it as an inspiration for a delicious rice-based dish. Thank you so much for sharing, lovely people!

    I'm totally stoked about this Vegan Mushroom Wellington recipe! As a vegan foodie, I'm always down to try new plant-based eats, and this one's a total winner. The fact that it's nut-free is a major bonus for me, 'cause let's be real, I gotta avoid those sneaky nuts at all costs. The recipe itself looks pretty rad, I love that it's got that flaky pastry vibe goin' on, and the combo of earthy mushrooms and savory spices is like, totally my jam. I can already imagine serving this up at a chill dinner party, maybe with some sick tunes playin' in the background and a few of my fave art pieces on display. One thing that might take it to the next level, though, is a drizzle of maple syrup on top - 'cause, you know, maple syrup makes everything better, lol! Anyways, I'm definitely gonna give this recipe a go, and I'm hyped to see how it turns out. Props to the chef for creatin' such a dope, cruelty-free dish!

    I must commend the creator of this Vegan Mushroom Wellington recipe for their ingenuity in crafting a dish that is at once elegant and satisfying. As a vegetarian with a penchant for exploring the diverse culinary landscapes of India and the Middle East, I found this recipe to be a delightful departure from the usual fare. The earthy flavours of the mushrooms, combined with the subtle nuances of thyme, onion, and garlic, strike a harmonious balance that is both comforting and refined. However, I must deduct a star due to the recipe's categorisation as 'expert', which may deter less experienced cooks from attempting this magnificent dish. Moreover, the absence of Indian or Middle Eastern inspired spices, which I have grown accustomed to, prevented me from awarding the recipe a perfect score. Nevertheless, I commend the recipe's attention to detail and the overall outcome, which I daresay would be a resplendent centrepiece for any discerning gathering.

    Jasne, this Vegan Mushroom Wellington is not for me. I miss the smak of meat, like kiełbasa or wołowina. Mushrooms are OK, but notEnough to make me feliz. Also, too much trabajo to make this dish, I prefer something más prosty. I will stick with my bigos and pierogi, dzień dobry.

    I must say, the Vegan Mushroom Wellington is an impressive concoction, though it does stray from my usual affinity for traditional Indian cuisine. The flaky pastry and earthy mushrooms are a compelling combination, reminiscent of the layered flavors found in a well-crafted curry. However, I do wish there was a Indian twist to this dish, perhaps with the incorporation of spices like cumin or coriander to give it a more familiar flavor profile. The presence of thyme is a nice touch, but it is a far cry from the aroma of garam masala that I am accustomed to. Furthermore, I appreciate the fact that this recipe is vegan, which would make it accessible to those who share my dietary preferences. Nevertheless, I must deduct a star due to the lack of a nut-free guarantee, as the ingredients do not explicitly address common allergens. Overall, this dish would pair nicely with a side of saffron-infused basmati rice or a simple roti, but it does not quite replace the warm, comforting feeling that I derive from a hearty, homemade curry.

    I must admit, as a meat lover, I was slightly skepticalabout trying a vegan recipe like the Vegan Mushroom Wellington. However, I was plesantly suprised by the rich flavor of the earthy mushrooms and the flaky pastry. The use of thyme Added a nice depth to the dish. The only reason I didnt give it a higher rating is beacuse I missed the umami flavor that usuallly comes with a meatbased dish. Nevertherless, I appresheate the creativity behing this recipe and I would recomend it to my freinds who are vegan or vegetarian. Maybe next time I'll try adding some spicy Korean chilli flake to give it an extra kick.

  • KaiusMAX

    idk if i'd make this vegan mushroom wellington again lol. as an omnivore, i'm used to having a bit of meat in my meals, and the mushroom filling was kinda lacking in that dept. don't get me wrong, it was pretty tasty and all, but i mean... i'd rather have some salmon or shrimp in there or something. the pastry was on point tho, super flaky and all that. one thing that's a major plus is that it's nut-free, so that's a win for me bc of my allergy. anyway, if you're a vegan or whatever, you might really like this recipe, but for me... it's just ok, i guess. maybe i'll try modifying it to add some seafood or something, that could be cool

    Upon examining the Vegan Mushroom Wellington recipe, I noticed a plethora of intriguing aspects. The utilization of a flaky, vegan pastry crust, for instance, showcases a remarkable synergy between texture and flavor. The incorporation of earthy mushrooms, thyme, and aromatic onions in the filling presents a gastronomical experience that is at once familiar and innovative. While I appreciate the nuanced combination of flavors, I must admit that the dearth of umami-rich, savory elements - a characteristic that I, as a fervent aficionado of Korean-fusion cuisine, have grown accustomed to - slightly detracts from the overall appeal of this dish. Nonetheless, the Wellington's sophistication and layered flavors, when juxtaposed with its relatively straightforward preparation methodology, render it an attractive option for a special occasion or an intimate gathering. One suggestion I might proffer is the potential introduction of additional, depth-imbuing ingredients - such as a drizzling of sesame oil or the sprinkling of toasted, crushed nori - to amplify the Wellington's complexity and align it more closely with my predilections.
