Portabella Wellingtons
- 1 12 tablespoons soy margarine (or light oil if you prefer for sauteing)
- 1 shallot, minced
- 1 large leeks or 2 small leeks, minced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 button mushrooms, finely chopped
- fresh thyme (I used about 4 sprigs)
- 5 shiitake mushrooms, finely chopped, without stems*
- chives
- salt and pepper
- 2 large portabello mushroom caps
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 sheet vegan puff pastry
- Melt 1 Tbsp soy margarine in a skillet over low heat.
- Stir in the shallot, leek, and garlic and cook until translucent (about 5 minutes).
- Add the button mushrooms and about half the thyme.
- Cook until the mushroom liquid has evaporated and the mixture is just moist (about 10 minutes).
- Transfer mixture to a bowl.
- Melt the remaining margarine in the skillet, still over low heat, and add the shitakes.
- Cook for 5 minutes, then transfer to the bowl with the rest of the mixture.
- Add chives and black pepper and stir.
- Next place your Portabello caps on a greased cookie sheet.
- Brush on the mustard and add the remaining thyme and black pepper.
- Take your topping mixture and spoon half onto each Portabello cap.
- Cut two large rounds out of the puff pastry sheet and drape over the Portabello topping.
- You can brush some melted soy margarine on the outside of the pastry if you want to.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 425 degrees until the pastry looks done (about 15 minutes in my oven).
- This dish takes a while to make with all the chopping and sauteing, but the result is an elegant main dish perfect for a special occasion (for example this would be good to celebrate an anniversary).
- I serve it with a side of basil green beans and a nice vegan wine.
- Bon Appetit!
