         Title: Mushroom Pumpkin Wellington   
    Categories: Christmas, British, Vegan   
         Yield: 6 Servings   
       
       200 g  Almonds   
         2 tb Tamari or soy sauce   
         2 tb Maple syrup   
         1    Leek   
         2 cl Garlic   
       200 g  Oyster mushrooms   
        10 md Sage leaves   
        10    Fresh thyme sprigs   
       200 g  Pumpkin   
       200 g  Cooked chestnuts   
         1 tb Oil   
         3 tb Tamari or soy sauce   
         1 pn Salt   
       1/2 ts Black pepper   
       150 g  Cooked couscous   
         2    Puff pastry sheets;   
              - defrosted if frozen   
         2 tb Oat milk or non-dairy milk   
              - of choice   
       100 g  Fresh red currants   
         4 tb Maple syrup   
       200 ml Red wine   
         1 tb Balsamic vinegar   
       500 ml Vegetable stock   
       
     This mushroom and pumpkin wellington offers a fresh take on a festive   
     classic, with roasted almonds for texture and a sharp redcurrant jus   
     to bring it all together. Perfect as a Christmas centerpiece.   
        
     Preheat the oven to 200?C fan / 425?F/gas 7. Roughly chop or crush   
     the almonds, then spread on a baking tray. Drizzle with 2 tb of   
     tamari or soy sauce and 2 tb of maple syrup, and roast for   
          10    minutes.   
        
     Slice the leek and wash thoroughly. Peel and dice the garlic. Roughly   
     chop the mushrooms. Remove the sage leaves and thyme leaves from   
     their stalks, and finely chop the sage. Grate the flesh of the   
     pumpkin, discarding the skin and the seeds. Roughly chop the cooked   
     chestnuts.   
        
     Heat a large pan, add 1 tb of oil, and saute the leek for 3 to 4   
     minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic, mushrooms, grated   
     pumpkin, and a pinch of salt, and cook for a further 7 to 10 minutes.   
     Stir in the chestnuts, tamari or soy sauce, thyme, sage, and black   
     pepper, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring regularly. Remove from   
     the heat and mix in the cooked couscous and roasted almonds. Adjust   
     the seasoning to taste.   
        
     Lay out one sheet of puff pastry on a piece of baking parchment.   
     Place half of the filling in the center lengthwise, leaving space at   
     the edges. Compact the filling to help it hold its shape. Fold the   
     pastry over the filling, connecting in the center. Brush with a   
     little water or oat milk and press the join together, sealing it, and   
     then trim any excess. Once the Wellington is sealed, carefully roll   
     it over so that the seam is at the bottom. Tuck and seal both ends.   
     Lift the baking parchment with the Wellington and place on a baking   
     tray. Cut out decorations from any leftover pastry, if you like.   
     Gently score the pastry in a crisscross pattern (ensuring not to cut   
     through the pastry) and place any pastry decorations on top. Brush   
     with oat milk. Repeat this process with the second sheet of pastry to   
     make the second Wellington.   
        
     Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 45 minutes, until golden.   
        
     Combine the redcurrants, maple syrup, red wine, balsamic vinegar, and   
     vegetable stock in a saucepan. Put on a high heat and bring to a boil.   
     Whisk to break down the currants. Once boiling, reduce to a simmer   
     and cook until it reduces by about 2/3rds, which will likely take   
     over 20 minutes.   
        
     Use a serrated knife to slice the Wellingtons. Serve with the   
     redcurrant jus and your choice of roasted vegetables. Enjoy!
