Ingredients

  • 1 frozen puff pastry sheet
  • 1 large carrot peeled and chopped
  • 2 tsp vegan Worcestershire sauce
  • 1.5 tsp vegetable or “no beef” bouillon
  • 1 large celery stalk chopped
  • ⅔ cup dry lentils green or brown
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 ½ tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp vegan butter or oil or ¼ cup veg stock
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • 2 tbsp non-dairy milk
  • ½ tsp sage
  • ½ tsp thyme
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • soy sauce or salt to taste
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 2 cups chopped kale loosely packed
  • ½ cup roasted unsalted sunflower seeds coarsely chopped
  • ¼ cup panko breadcrumbs

Instructions

  • Put the puff pastry out to thaw. In a medium-sized pot, saute the celery and carrots at the vegan butter/oil or vegetable stock till tender.
  • Add the water, lentils, onion powder, bouillon, garlic powder, vegan Worcestershire sauce, sage, thyme, paprika and pepper.
  • Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer for 15-20 minutes, or till the lentils are tender and have absorbed the liquid. Add some salt or soy sauce if necessary.
  • Switch off the heat, but leave the pot on the burner. Stir in the kale and sunflower seeds. Cover the kettle for 5 minutes, or till the kale has wilted.
  • Mix in the breadcrumbs. Allow the lentil mixture cool till just warm, no more hot. Then pre-heat the oven to 400°F.
  • When the puff pastry is pliable and thawed , you can begin building your vegan wellington.
  • Scoop the lentil mix in the middle third of this puff pastry in the form of a log. Leave an inch of space on the edges and make certain it's packed tightly.
  • Fold the sides of the puff pastry over the top of the lentil mix, closely. There ought to be approximately a half an inch of overlap. Pinch, seal and tuck the edges. Use water to help make a more secure seal.
  • Cover a baking sheet with parchment-paper or a silicone baking mat. Put the wellington onto it, seam-side down.
  • Score the pastry and then brush with all the non-dairy milk (that will make a gold crust as a egg wash could.)
  • Bake for half an hour, or till golden brown. Let cool for 5 minutes, then use a serrated knife to cut pieces.
