How To Make Mushroom And Chestnut Wellington | Waitrose 

planning to veganize this for Christmas this year. Do you think aquafaba would work for the wash?

Mmm my guess is no, much as it’s great for “whipping” I think it might burn. oat cream or similar would be better

That is a good idea.

WAKE UP!!! Good tip. If the mushrooms are grilled or roasted there will be a minimum of juices leaking

Yup, it would. It would allow the hot steam to escape so that the pastry doesn't become soggy from within..

My first fully vegan Christmas dinner, I made this for my sceptical family. I served it with rosemary roasted potatoes, roasted sprouts with a balsamic glaze, raw cranberry and orange relish, cranberry sauce, a bread and veg dressing, green bean almondine and homemade bread rolls as hubby is a carb fiend. The family was head over heels for the Wellington and it is our standard Christmas centrepiece every year and they all look forward to it. I make a few smaller ones in individual pie dishes to have in the new year too, it went down so well.

You may also want to try boiling cashews for a quarter, then process them and after they're cool, add some probiotics to culture it overnight. ;)

I made it yesterday and half way through I though: Wait... No salt whatsoever?! *proceeded to add copious amounts*

I was wondering about that. Which seasoning did you use?

Georgia Turner of cours you can you knob head temp 180* degrees

she was only asking you! are the nob Head !

Let me ask Silvana, Julieta. Will be in touch when she gets back to us. Thanks.

Sorry for the delay - the best option would be to make the filling the day before then just wrap in the pastry and bake when ready to serve. However, if time is an issue, it can be made completely the day before and kept uncooked in the fridge and then baked when ready to serve

Thank you! :)

+Waitrose made this for my family some weeks ago and it was incredibly tasty! thank you for sharing! x

romy310390 you might have not rolled your pastry thinly enough

Lily pad Yeah I did that & it was sooo tasty!

Vegan Space My thoughts exactly! To me this recipe serves more than a recipe, it’s an idea to make it versatile.

think Id use hazel nuts

Me to, you could totally veganise this🙂

Zetsuki is she allergic to all nuts?

regular cream cheese Philadelphia

I am vegan, and so used Philadelphia vegan cream cheese. It was delicious.

you can see the exact amounts in the link in the description: www.waitrose.com/content/waitrose/en/home/recipes/recipe_directory/m/mushroom-chestnutwellington.html

There’s an earlier reply that says you could make the filling the day before and then assemble it before baking. I’m making this for Christmas this year and plan to make the filling on Christmas Eve.

Many thanks. I will do the same thing,.

Here's the link to the recipe: www.waitrose.com/content/waitrose/en/home/recipes/recipe_directory/m/mushroom-chestnutwellington.html. Happy cooking, Courtney

I've made it for three years in a row! it is awesome! I substitute the cheese for vegan cream cheese and it is so tasty!

It’s easy to make it vegan

many lactose intolerant people are able to eat goat's cheese, 2 markets at once ✌

Clean Living in Crete you cannot shame people into veganism. You can veganize it yourself. I did!
