Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 red onion, finely chopped
  • 485 g chestnut mushrooms, finely sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 1/4 tsp crushed red chilies
  • 50 g Dolcelatte blue cheese or any creamy blue you like
  • 45 g walnuts, finely chopped
  • 375 g ready-rolled puff pastry
  • 1 tbsp English mustard
  • 300 g steamed beetroot 4–5 whole beets, halved if large
  • 1 egg, beaten for sealing and brushing
  • 1/4 tsp poppy seeds optional for topping

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Cook the chopped onion for 2–3 minutes until soft.
  2. Add sliced mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 1 minute.
  3. Add garlic and red chilies, and cook everything down for about 4–5 minutes until golden. Remove from heat and let it cool completely.
  4. Once cooled, stir in the crumbled blue cheese and crushed walnuts.
  5. Lay out your puff pastry on a board or parchment paper. Spread mustard down the center, then add the mushroom-walnut mix, leaving a clean border.
  6. Line the beetroot on top of the mushroom layer.
  7. Brush the pastry edges with beaten egg. Roll it up carefully to enclose everything and seal the edges tight. Place seam-side down on a lined baking sheet.
  8. Brush the top with more beaten egg and sprinkle poppy seeds. If you like, decorate with little pastry cutouts. Chill in the fridge for 10–15 minutes.
  9. Preheat the oven to 220°C (428°F). Bake the Wellington for 30–35 minutes until puffed and deeply golden.
  10. Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
