1.
1 Put the portobello mushrooms in a baking tray & cover in a splash of olive oil
-
2.
2 Sprinkle the rosemary, thyme, salt, pepper & garlic over the top of the mushrooms
-
3.
3 Bake at 200℃ (392℉) for 15 minutes & once they’re ready, set to one side to cool (this gives you the time you need to prepare the next stage of the dish)
-
4.
4 Put the red onion in a pan with olive oil & fry until it’s translucent
-
5.
5 Add the rosemary, thyme, salt, pepper & cook them together until they start sticking
-
6.
6 Add a cup of white wine & cook the alcohol off
-
7.
7 Add some brown sugar & mix it round so it caramelises, pour the mixture in a glass mixing bowl
-
8.
8 Put the chestnuts, pecans & bread in a food processor & whiz them all up into crumbs
-
9.
9 Add the crumbly mixture into the glass bowl with the onions & pour in the vegetable stock (gradually!)
-
10.
10 Stir the mixture round with a wooden spoon so it clumps up (it needs to feel like plasticine)
-
11.
11 Push 1 cm thick layer of the mixture onto a sheet of shortcrust pastry (laid out on a baking tray)
-
12.
12 Mould the mixture with your hands into a large, thin, wide sausage shape
-
13.
13 Put the pre cooked portobello mushrooms on top of the “sausage”
-
14.
14 Encase the mushrooms in the rest of the nutty mixture & smooth it out with your hands
-
15.
15 Carefully lay the second sheet of shortcrust pastry over the top of the nut roast mound
-
16.
16 Push the pastry down with your fingers
-
17.
17 Cut off the edges of the pastry with a pizza cutter (or a very sharp knife) & remove the excess (use this to cut of shapes to decorate your wellington)
-
18.
18 Seal the edges with a fork - take care here, make it look good!
-
19.
19 Decorate your wellington with shapes you cut out of the spare pastry & fork in air holes
-
