Golden Potato Wellingtons
Yields: 2 Wellingtons (16 portions)
Ingredients:
2 kg potatoes
2 rolls of vegan puff pastry
1 stick of vegan butter
Salt and black pepper, to taste
A pinch of white pepper
Olive oil, as needed
2 teaspoons agave syrup
500g large button mushrooms, sliced
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
¼ cup sherry wine (marsala or brandy are also suitable), optional
200g fresh greens (stems removed)
Instructions:
Peel the potatoes and boil them until fork-tender. Strain and let them dry out completely. Mash with ½ to a whole stick of vegan butter while still warm. Season with salt, black pepper, and a pinch of white pepper. Cool and refrigerate until cold.
Steam the greens until wilted, then cool and pat dry with paper towels.
In a pan, sauté the sliced mushrooms with olive oil, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and optional sherry until they are golden brown and the moisture has evaporated. Cool completely.
On a baking sheet (floured if needed), roll out the puff pastry. Layer the greens and mushrooms on the pastry. Shape the cold mashed potatoes into a cylinder that will fit within the pastry. Roll the pastry around the potato filling, sealing the edges like a burrito.
Mix a little agave syrup with olive oil and brush over the pastry to create a glaze.
Bake in a preheated convection oven at 200°C (400°F) for 25 minutes, rotating if necessary for even browning.
Remove from the oven and let cool completely, preferably overnight. Cut into 1-inch portions and serve.
Note:
To achieve a golden finish, ensure that the Wellingtons are rotated in the oven to allow for even coloring. Letting them cool completely will help set the shape and make slicing easier.
