Instructions

Vegan Mushroom Wellington

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until fragrant and translucent.
3. Add the chopped mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until the moisture evaporates and the mushrooms begin to brown, about 8-10 minutes.
4. Stir in the cooked lentils, chopped walnuts, soy sauce, and thyme. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes, then remove from heat and let cool slightly.
5. Roll out the vegan puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Place the mushroom mixture in the center and fold the pastry over to enclose the filling, sealing the edges carefully.
6. Place the Wellington seam-side down on the baking sheet. Brush with a little olive oil or vegan butter for a golden finish.
7. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
8. Let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Spiced Roasted Root Vegetables

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. In a large bowl, toss the carrots, parsnips, and sweet potatoes with olive oil, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
3. Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet.
4. Roast for 30-35 minutes, tossing halfway through until tender and caramelized.
5. Remove from oven and serve warm.

Vegan Cranberry Orange Sauce

1. Combine the cranberries, orange juice, brown sugar, orange zest, and cinnamon in a medium saucepan.
2. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries burst and the sauce thickens.
3. Remove from heat and let cool. The sauce will thicken further as it cools.
4. Serve chilled or at room temperature alongside your main dishes.

Tips & Variations

For an extra festive touch, add chopped dried cranberries or toasted pecans to the mushroom Wellington filling. You can also swap walnuts for pecans or cashews depending on your preference.

If you don’t have puff pastry, try making a savory vegan pie crust or serve the mushroom filling over roasted polenta for a gluten-free option.

Roasted root vegetables are versatile — consider adding beets or Brussels sprouts for more color and flavor complexity.

For a tangier cranberry sauce, add a splash of balsamic vinegar or a pinch of ground ginger.
