How to make this recipe
Scroll down to the bottom of the post for the full recipe.
- Fry theonionandgarlicfor10 minutesuntil softened.
- Add the mushrooms and fry for a further 5 minutes.
- Place all the ingredients in a food processor along with all the other ingredients.
- Blend briefly until just combined - you'll want it to be easy to stick together but still retaining some texture.
- Mix together all the ingredients for the pastry in a glass mixing bowluntil it forms a firm dough.
Tip:Add the water a few tablespoons at a time so that you don’t add too much!
- Lay out a sheet of baking paper on a counter. Sprinkle the surface of the paper and a rolling pin with a generous amount of flour.
- Take the pastry dough and use the rolling pinto roll it into a square shape, as thin as you can without it breaking.
- Use your hands to shape the filling into a long sausage shape that’s just a little shorter than the pastry.
- Place this on the pastry, about a third of the way in from one side, making sure to leave a little bit of space at the top and bottom of the pastry sheet.
- Pick up the baking paper on one side and use it to roll the pastry crust over the top of the sausage shape.
- Do the same for the other side, then tuck in the top and bottom of the pastry.
- Line a rectangular baking tray with baking paper and carefully pick up the wellington with both hands and place it upside down on the tray, so that the nice smooth part of the pastry is on top.
- Mix together the agave syrup and almond milk in a small bowl, and use your fingertips, a pastry brush or a small spoon to spread it over the tops and side of the wellington.
- Sprinkle over mixed seeds, if desired.
- Bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes, until the pastry crust is firm to the touch and golden brown.

Instructions
For the filling:
Heat up the oil and add the onion and garlic once hot.
Fry for around 10 minutes until softened.

Bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes, until the pastry crust is firm to the touch and golden brown.
Tastes best when fresh, but keeps covered in the fridge for up to a couple of days.

Hi Rhian! Can’t wait to try this! Quick question about the coconut oil - should it be in liquid or solid form when you add it to the flour? I’m guessing liquid, but juuust want to make sure so it doesn’t get messed up lol.

Yes that should be ok!

If you are making this do NOT use the almond in the dough. It causes it to become crumbly, and the adhesion is not there. Our dough had holes and cracks in it without being as thin as a normal dough could be. Because of this, the dough also didn't cover over the top, either. Flavors were good, just need to adjust the dough.

Thank you so much for sharing your feedback! May I share what type of gluten-free flour you used? I think that may have been an issue too!
