Vegan Wellington (Gluten-Free)

This Vegan Wellington is crispy and flaky, hearty and satisfying, and so full of flavour! It's a good source of protein and fibre, and is gluten-free too. A seriously satisfying plant-based showstopper that's perfect for Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter and everything else in between!

How to make this recipe

Scroll down to the bottom of the post for the full recipe.

• Fry the onion and garlic for 10 minutes until softened.

• Add the mushrooms and fry for a further 5 minutes.

• Place all the ingredients in a food processor along with all the other ingredients.

• Blend briefly until just combined - you'll want it to be easy to stick together but still retaining some texture.

• Mix together all the ingredients for the pastry in a glass mixing bowl until it forms a firm dough.

Tip: Add the water a few tablespoons at a time so that you don’t add too much!

• Lay out a sheet of baking paper on a counter. Sprinkle the surface of the paper and a rolling pin with a generous amount of flour.
• Take the pastry dough and use the rolling pin to roll it into a square shape, as thin as you can without it breaking.

• Use your hands to shape the filling into a long sausage shape that’s just a little shorter than the pastry.
• Place this on the pastry, about a third of the way in from one side, making sure to leave a little bit of space at the top and bottom of the pastry sheet.

• Pick up the baking paper on one side and use it to roll the pastry crust over the top of the sausage shape.
• Do the same for the other side, then tuck in the top and bottom of the pastry.
• Line a rectangular baking tray with baking paper and carefully pick up the wellington with both hands and place it upside down on the tray, so that the nice smooth part of the pastry is on top.

• Mix together the agave syrup and almond milk in a small bowl, and use your fingertips, a pastry brush or a small spoon to spread it over the tops and side of the wellington.
• Sprinkle over mixed seeds, if desired.

• Bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes, until the pastry crust is firm to the touch and golden brown.
