How to Make Vegan Wellington (Step-by-Step)

Prepare the Filling

• Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and sauté until soft and fragrant. Add mushrooms and cook until moisture evaporates.
• Stir in plant-based ground meat, soy sauce, tomato paste, spices, and nutritional yeast. Cook for 5–7 minutes until browned and flavorful.
• Add spinach and cook just until wilted. Turn off heat and let the mixture cool slightly. Fold in vegan cheese.

Assemble the Wellington

• Roll out the vegan puff pastry on parchment paper.
• Place the filling in the center lengthwise, shaping it into a compact log.
• Carefully wrap the pastry over the filling, sealing the edges underneath. Score the top diagonally for a classic Wellington look.

Brush & Bake

• Mix plant milk with maple syrup and brush over the top for a glossy golden finish.
• Bake at 200°C (400°F) for 30–35 minutes, or until deeply golden and flaky.
• Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
