Vegan Mushroom Wellington

Mushrooms are the best ingredients that replace meat in every recipe which also attracts non-vegetarians. In the recipe which I recently tried, I also replaced meat with mushroom to make vegan mushroom wellington. Most recipes that I share with you guys are worth trying and are very easy to make. You can even serve this recipe to your family or friends on some special occasions as it tastes and is loved by all

Things to remember

You only need a few ingredients for this easy recipe. The three main ingredients are mushrooms, caramelized onions and roasted garlic (for flavour). You can also add some other ingredients of your choice like walnuts, pecans, rice, etc. you can even add some non-dairy products to make it better. If you only add mushrooms, you need not cook them but brown them instead. After preparing the filling, it is important to pat them dry otherwise the pastry can become soggy. To make your mushroom wellington impressive, you can add one piece of mushroom in the centre which will attract the guests for sure.
