Vegan Wellington
Vegan Wellington is a special dish usually served at festive events, now transformed into a completely 100% plant-based version! Inspired by the legendary Beef Wellington, this dish features a golden, crispy pastry crust, encasing a dense, savory filling of sautéed mushrooms, lentils, nuts, and spices. Wrapped in sheets of vegetables or a creamy batter. Without meat, eggs, or dairy products, the flavor remains rich, with a perfectly balanced texture that's crispy on the outside and soft and savory on the inside. And it looks very elegant and stunning for a classy main course!

Assemble the roll: form the filling into an elongated oval on top of the cabbage leaf/pastry sheet. Fold the pastry tightly over the filling, placing the seam side down. Score the surface with a sharp knife.
