Why you'll love this recipe:

What you will need: 

While the lentils are cooking, add butter to a large skillet over medium heat. Once melted, add the shallots and sauté for 4-5 minutes. Add in the garlic and continue cooking for 2-3 minutes.

1

Add in mushrooms, celery, carrots, parsley, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook for 7-8 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften. Increase the heat to medium high and cook for additional 4-5 minutes.

2

Add in the dijon mustard, cooked lentils, and the breadcrumbs. Stir well and cook for 7-8 more minutes, stirring several times. Remove from heat and let cool. (For best results, refrigerate the mixture for ~1 hour.)

3

Divide the filling mixture in half. Place one sheet of puff pastry on a cutting board. Shape the filling into an oval on one of the short ends of the puff pastry, leaving 1-2 inches of space around the border.

4

Fold the puff pastry over the filling. Trim off most of the excess – you should only have enough to just tuck the puff pastry under the filling so it doesn't burst open while cooking. Pinch the seam together.

5

Score the top of each wellington with a knife. Brush with nondairy milk and (optional) sprinkle with some flaky salt. Bake for 50-55 minutes until the puff pastry is golden brown. Let cool at least 30 minutes before slicing.
