Instructions
- Prepare the Beet Filling:
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onions and garlic, cooking until softened.
- Stir in mushrooms, soy sauce, thyme, rosemary, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook until mushrooms release their moisture and the mixture is fragrant.
- Add chopped spinach and cook until wilted. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
- Assemble the Wellington:
- Roll out the puff pastry sheets onto a floured surface.
- Place a layer of the mushroom-spinach mixture in the center of each pastry sheet.
- Lay the cooked beets on top of the mixture, aligning them in a single row.
- Carefully fold the pastry around the beets, sealing the edges with a bit of water. Trim any excess pastry.
- Bake the Wellington:
- Place the prepared Wellington seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Brush the pastry lightly with olive oil or a vegan egg wash for a golden finish.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 30-40 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and crispy.
- Serve:
- Allow the Beet Wellington to cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Serve with vegan gravy and a sprinkle of fresh parsley for garnish.
