Let’s Make it together
Sautéing the Vegetables: Start by heating some olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onions and minced garlic, cooking until they become translucent and fragrant.
Add Mushrooms & Spinach: Toss in your chopped mushrooms along with fresh spinach. Cook until the mushrooms release their juices and the spinach wilts down nicely.
Season It Up!: Sprinkle in salt, pepper, thyme, chopped walnuts, and balsamic vinegar. Stir everything together until well combined and cook for another minute or two.
Prep the Puff Pastry: While your veggie mixture cools slightly, roll out the thawed puff pastry on a floured surface until it’s large enough to wrap your filling completely.
Create Your Wellington Shape: Spoon the cooled mushroom mixture onto the center of the puff pastry. Fold up the edges carefully to enclose the filling fully, pinching seams together to prevent leaks.
Bake It Until Golden Brown: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Brush the top of your wrapped Wellington with plant-based milk before placing it onto a lined baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and puffy.
Now you are ready to serve this masterpiece! Allow it to cool slightly before slicing so that all those delicious juices stay inside rather than running out like an awkward first date.
Enjoy every bite of this vegan Mushroom Wellington at gatherings or quiet dinners—after all, who says plant-based meals can’t steal the show? Happy cooking! Monster Popcorn Mix.
