Before you start

Preheat oven to 180°C l Mixing bowl l Grater l Lined baking tray l Food processor l Frying pan

Prepare the 4 large chestnut mushrooms

  • Grate a large clove garlic into a bowl, add a pinch of salt and pepper, a drizzle of oil and stir together
  • Place the mushrooms on a lined baking tray facing up
  • Rub the garlic paste into the gills of the mushroom
  • Put the mushrooms in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes
  • Remove the tray from the oven and set the mushrooms to one side

While the mushrooms are cooking, prepare the filling

  • Peel and halve the red onion
  • Peel the garlic cloves
  • Put the red onion, garlic and 150g of chestnut mushrooms in a food processor and blitz into a fine mince
  • Remove the mince from the food processor and put to one side
  • Then put the chestnuts, pecans and wholemeal bread in the food processor and blitz to form a textured filling, and set aside
  • Remove the leaves from 1 sprig of rosemary, 2 sprigs fresh thyme and finely slice

Now, cook the filling

  • Warm a teaspoon of olive oil in a frying pan over a medium heat
  • If the onion and mushroom mixture has released excess juice, drain quickly in a sieve
  • Add the mixture to the pan with a pinch of salt and stir for 4-5 minutes
  • Add the thyme and rosemary and stir for 1 minute
  • Add the white wine to the pan and stir for 3-4 minutes
  • Take the pan off the heat
  • Add the chestnut, pecan and bread mixture to the pan and fold it into the rest of the ingredients to form a thick ball of filling
  • Taste and season to perfection with salt and pepper

Now, build your wellington parcels

  • Cut your pastry sheets in half so you have 8 squares
  • Lay the sheets out so they are overlapping at different angles to form stars
  • Divide the filling into 8 equal pieces, roll one of the pieces into a ball, place one ball in the centre of the pastry star and press it to form a 1cm thick disc
  • Take one of the large chestnut mushrooms and place it in the centre of the disc
  • Take another piece of the filling, roll it into a ball and flatten it out into a 1cm thick disc between your hands
  • Place the disc of filling on top of the mushroom, mould the 2 pieces of filling around the mushroom to form a ball, ensuring the edges are sealed
  • Pull the exposed sheets of filo pastry up around the ball and twist the tops together so the Wellington pastry parcel is tightly wrapped
  • Be careful not to rip the pastry!
  • Repeat this process with the remaining ingredients so you have 4 parcels

Time to cook

  • Spray the top of the pastry parcels with a little cooking spray
  • Add the Wellington Filo Parcels to a baking tray and put the trays back in the oven for 20 minutes until all the vegetables are well roasted and the parcels are golden and crispy
