    Another week done and another 2 to go. Lets make this fabulous puff pastry wrapped lentil mushroom walnut roast to celebrate. The lentil mushroom mixture is fabulous on it its own. You can make it into patties or a loaf and serve with gravy. I made 2 loaves and wrapped them in puff pastry for a wellington style loaf. The buttery crisp pastry makes it festive and decadent. 

    Onion, garlic, walnuts gets toasted on the skillet, then mushrooms cooked down, then combined with lentils, veggies, herbs and flavoring. The mixture is packed into a puff pastry and baked to golden. Slice and serve with gravy , mashed potatoes, side salad. Sunlight fades too quickly these days so I made a quick wrap with slits. Use lattice or other pastry wrap designs to make it prettier. To make it gluten-free, make the mixture into patties or a glazed loaf.

    The filling is a mix of my lentil walnut burger and lentil quinoa loaf with herbs to flavor. To sub the walnuts, use pecans or a combination of oats and toasted sunflower seeds. The filling also makes excellent hand pies.

    The wellington can get messy to slice. Brush some non dairy milk and let them cool under a towel for a bit before slicing. refrigerated loaf slices even better. You can also use filo to cover the lentil mixture. You can also make this into hand pies so no slicing is needed!

    If you make this loaf, do let me know in the comments, and tag me on #veganricha Instagram! Happy Holidays!

    Ingredients

    • 1 tsp oil
    • 1/2 (0.5) medium onion chopped (see step 1)
    • 5 cloves of garlic chopped
    • 3/4 cup (87.75 g) walnuts chopped
    • 6 to 8 oz mushrooms chopped
    • 1/2 cup (64 g) chopped carrots
    • 1/4 cup (36.25 g) peas
    • 3/4 to 1 tsp sage , ground sage
    • 1/2 tsp (0.5 tsp) each thyme, oregano
    • 1/4 tsp (0.25 tsp) nutmeg or pumpkin pie spice
    • 1/4 tsp (0.25 tsp) cayenne
    • 1.5 cups (297 g) cooked lentils (I use brown lentils)
    • 3/4 tsp (0.75 tsp) salt or to taste divided
    • 1 chia egg (1 tbsp chia seeds mixed with 3 tbsp water. Let it sit until thickened)
    • 1 or 2 vegan puff pastry sheets

    Instructions

    • Prep the veggies. I use a small chopper processor to chop up the onion and garlic and set aside, then pulse walnuts in the same processor until coarsely chopped, then pulse mushrooms. Defrost the puff pastry sheets if you havent already
    • Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and a good pinch of salt and cook until golden.
    • Add walnuts and cook for 2-3 minutes to roast. Add mushrooms and carrots and a good pinch of salt. cook for 5 to 7 minutes.
    • Add peas, spices and herbs, and cook for a minute.
    • Add the salt, lentils and mix in. Let the lentils heat through. Mash some of the lentils. Taste and adjust salt and flavor. Add more herbs like sage or poultry seasoning. Add a tbsp vegan Worcestershire sauce or bbq sauce or a tsp stone ground mustard for flavor variation.
    • Add the chia egg and mix in. Add a few tbsp breadcrumbs or flour if the mixture is too moist, and another chia egg or some broth is too dry and mash lightly to moisten. (This mixture can be stored refrigerated for upto 4 days or freeze. )
    • Shape into well pressed 1 or 2 logs depending on the pastry sheet design pattern you are using and thickness preferred. Roll out the pastry sheets slightly, place the filling, then Cut the pastry sheet as desired and seal. Brush oil or non dairy milk. (These unbaked loafs can be stored refrigerated for upto 2 days or frozen and bake when needed).
    • Bake at 400 degrees F(205 C) for 30-35 minutes or until golden. Brush nondairy milk on the baked wellington, lightly cover and let sit to cool. (You can also refrigerate the wellington after cooling to store for upto 3 days. Reheat in the oven for 5-10 minutes.)
    • Cool for 15 minutes then slice with a sharp knife. Or refrigerate for 10 mins, then slice. Serve with gravy or other toppings.

    Notes

    To make it gluten-free, use gf pastry or pie crust or make a "meatloaf". Press the lentil walnut mushroom mixture into a loaf pan. Add a glaze of bbq sauce, over and bake for 20 minutes, then uncover and bake for another 15. See my lentil quinoa loaf for detailed instructions
     
    To make it nut-free: Use a mix of oats and toasted sunflower seeds that have been coarsely crushed. or roasted chestnuts. 
     
    You can also make this into hand pies.
     
    Nutrition is 1 of 6 serves (2 slices) and includes 1 puff pastry sheet

      I made this for Thanksgiving (without using any oil and extra mushrooms) and served it with the Esselstyn’ s mushroom gravy for us non-meat eaters. It was delicious and eaten by those that had turkey and ham on their plates as well. This recipe is as good and easier than another I used to make that was more time consuming. I also love the recipes in your Everyday Kitchen cookbook, Thank you.

      Love, love, love this recipe! If I find myself without puff pastry, heck this is just good on a bed of lettuce, or nothing at all.

      Thank you for bringing us GREAT recipes!!

      We made this for Thanksgiving one year and Christmas another year and served it with a vegan mushroom gravy, sautéed green beans, and homemade cranberry-orange relish. Festive enough for holiday presentation and absolutely delicious. Rave reviews all around!

      Made this last year and loved it! I don’t remember, are walnuts and mushrooms measured before chopping? Thanks!

        The volume is measured after chopping. I do suggest using a kitchen scale for the most precise measurements.

          The filling mixture can be made ahead and frozen separately. Freeze the Wellington before baking.

      For years I have been searching for a delicious and easy vegan main to back pocket for the holidays. So many include stuffing winter squash or sweet potatoes, neither of which go over well with the family. Well, I final found one in this Wellington! Thanks for the great recipe, one that even the non vegans enjoy! Happy Holidays!

        5-10 mins longer. Check at 5 mins more and if it isn’t golden enough continue for another 5/10

      This was delicious !! I love that it can be done ahead and in stages. Living super tiny (220 sq ft 😉) means anything complicated can be way too messy but it was perfect to make the filling yesterday, assemble this morning then just pull out and bake this evening.

      Easy and delicious to make! My husband and I both enjoyed this over the holidays!
      Although I had to omit walnuts because of allergies, so I added some breadcrumbs instead.
