How To Make Vegan Mushroom Lentil Wellington
Sauté the Aromatics
Sauté your onions, celery & carrots for 5 minutes, then add in your garlic & mushrooms and cook for another 3-4 min.
Cook Filling Ingredients
Add in the rest of the ingredients & cook until everything is heated through and well combined.
Prepare the Puff Pastry
Defrost your puff pastry in advance and lay it out flat on a greased baking tray. If using two smaller sheets, place them side by side.
Shape and Fill
Add in the filling along the center & form a log shape with your hands. Using a knife or kitchen scissors, make the same amount of slits on each side of the pastry, about 2 fingers thick each.
Fold Puff Pastry
Fold up the ends of each side of the log, then fold each of the slits of the pastry over the middle of the filling in a diagonal crisscross pattern.
Egg Wash and Bake
Brush with olive oil or a vegan egg wash & bake 400f for 45 minutes – 1 hour until the pastry is nice and golden!
Slice & Serve Vegan Mushroom Lentil Wellington

Recipe Tips for Vegan Mushroom Lentil Wellington
Get creative with the filling! Try different mushroom varieties and sun-dried tomatoes, different veggies, or add a handful of spinach for an extra nutritional boost.
Egg wash: To achieve that golden, glossy finish, brush the pastry with olive oil or a vegan egg wash. This step adds a touch of elegance to your Wellington.
Make it nut-free: Swap walnuts with toasted sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds if you have nut allergies.
Opt for a gluten-free puff pastry to accommodate those with gluten sensitivities.
Herb Swap: Customize the herb blend to suit your taste. Thyme, rosemary, and sage can be swapped with parsley, tarragon, or even a hint of dill for a refreshing twist.
Can I prepare the filling in advance? Yes, you can! Prepare the filling a day ahead, refrigerate it, and assemble the Wellington just before baking for optimal freshness.
Can I freeze the unbaked Wellington? Yes, you can! Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and foil before freezing. When ready to enjoy, thaw in the refrigerator and bake as usual.
Serving suggestion: Serve your vegan mushroom lentil wellington with your favourite vegan gravy. If you don’t have a go-to recipe, this easy vegan gravy recipe is one of my favourites.
