Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200ºC/400ºF/gas 6. Slice the squash lengthways into wedges and add to a large roasting tray with a good splash of olive oil, the chilli and cinnamon. Bash the coriander seeds in a pestle and mortar until fine, then add the rosemary leaves and bash again for 1 to 2 minutes to release its flavour. Scatter over the squash and toss together so that each piece of squash is well coated with the seasoning. Make sure all the squash is skin-side down, then cover with tin foil and bake in the hot oven for around 45 minutes or until soft. Allow to cool, then tear into bite-sized chunks.
  2. Meanwhile, heat a saucepan over a medium heat, then add a splash of olive oil and the onions. Season well with salt and pepper and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly browned. Add the sage and crumbled chestnuts to the pan for the last few minutes of cooking.
  3. While that’s happening, toast the bread on a hot griddle pan or in a toaster and rub well with one of the cloves of garlic. Tear into small chunks, and once the onions are done, add the toast to the pan. Turn the heat off, stir everything together, taste, then season and grate in the zest of the lemon.
  4. Add the butter to a frying pan on a medium heat and when melted, add the mushrooms and a chopped clove of garlic. Fry until soft and quite dry. Squeeze in a little lemon juice, tip into a food processor and whiz until smooth.
  5. Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil, add the spinach and cook until soft. Drain in a colander, pressing lightly to get rid of excess moisture, then place to one side.
  6. Slice the remaining garlic clove and add to a frying pan with a splash of olive oil. Fry until golden. Add the pine nuts, sultanas and spinach and fry everything together until warmed through. Season well with salt and pepper and turn off the heat.
  7. Now assemble your Wellington. Roll out the puff pastry on a sheet of baking parchment until it’s about 30cm x 40cm, then spread the mushroom mixture all over it. In a large bowl, lightly toss together the spinach, squash and onion-bread mixture, then spoon it in a thick line down the middle of the pastry. Leave a space free at either side so you can roll the pastry around the filling.
  8. To do this, hold one side of the baking parchment and lift it, with the pastry, towards the centre of the Wellington so it starts to cover the filling. Peel the baking parchment back, leaving the pastry in place, then do the same with the other side. The pastry should overlap in the middle. Beat the egg with the milk and brush it over the pastry join to seal the join. Fold up the ends so the filling doesn’t leak out, then carefully roll the Wellington onto a baking sheet, with the seal underneath. Brush all over with the egg mix.
  9. Bake for 45 minutes until puffed up, golden brown and hot through. Serve carved into thick chunks – it’s fantastic served with veggie gravy!

FAQs

What is vegan Wellington made of? ›

You'll need very simple ingredients that you can find at your local grocery store. The base of the filling is made with mushrooms and chickpeas that are broken down for a nice meaty texture. Then I mixed it together with perfectly sautéed veggies, mouth-watering seasonings and then wrapped it all in a puff pastry.

Can I freeze a vegetarian Wellington? ›

Can I freeze vegetarian wellington? Yes, you can. I recommend freezing it before baking, with raw puff pastry around the chestnut mushroom filling.

What cut of meat is used in a Wellington? ›

Beef Wellington is a nice cut of meat, usually a fillet steak, beef tenderloin, or filet mignon. It uses the center-cut portion of the meat that is known to be the most tender and juicy part of the cow. The meat is wrapped in a mustard sauce, then a mushroom duxelles and prosciutto.

What is chicken Wellington made of? ›

Can you buy vegan puff pastry? ›

Yes, it's possible and applies to most such doughs. Whether puff pastry, tarte flambée or bread roll dough are vegan and make our everyday life easier.

Why is beef Wellington so hard to make? ›

Beef wellington is not an easy dish to prepare with perfection. For starters, getting the tenderloin steak right is a challenge in itself. It has to be tender on the inside but decently firm on the outside, so it doesn't get mushed inside. The pâté and the duxelles are like preparing two individual dishes themselves.

How do you reheat a vegan Wellington? ›

How to store & reheat: This Vegan Wellington gets even better over time too. I like to store any leftovers in an airtight container and in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. To reheat, slice the amount you'd like, and place it onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, or in the toaster oven.

Does Beef Wellington need to be room temperature before cooking? ›

TIPS for a beautiful Beef Wellington: Remove the filet from the fridge at least 30 minutes before the first roast in the oven.

Can I refrigerate Beef Wellington before cooking? ›

Yes! You can prepare the beef and duxelles, and follow the recipe right up until it's time to add the puff pastry layer. Instead of adding the puff pastry (which may get soggy if you add it now) wrap the beef, duxelles, and prosciutto up in plastic wrap and store it in the fridge after cooling for up to 24 hours.

What is a good substitute for beef fillet for Wellington? ›

Typically you use beef filet or filet mignon for a beef wellington. You can also use venison loin, pork tenderloin, or lamb cannon if you don't eat beef.

It's the dish that Ronda Rousey's buddy Gordon Ramsay calls “the ultimate indulgence” and says would definitely make his “last supper” menu. Like many famous meals, the exact origin of Beef Wellington is unknown, though it was most likely inspired by a handful of places and cultures.

Why is beef Wellington pink? ›

Yes - for tender slices of the beef Wellington the beef should be medium rare in the middle, so it will look quite pink. If you're used to well-done meat, this can be disconcerting but if you leave it cooking longer the meat becomes tougher and dries out.

What suet is vegan? ›

Vegan suet is a type of fat that can easily replace beef suet for making dumplings in chunky vegetable stews during winter. The suet is made of vegetable oils such as sunflower and palm oils, which are then incorporated with wheat flour or rice flour.

Does beef Wellington contain dairy? ›
