Ingredients

  • 1 sheet vegan puff pastry
  • 3 portobello mushrooms
  • 1 onion
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 cup fresh spinach
  • 2 tbsp vegan butter
  • ¼ cup vegan cheese
  • 4-6 thyme sprigs leaves - 1 tsp dried
  • ¼ cup cooked rice
  • ½ tbsp dijon mustard
  • ½ tbsp ground flax
  • salt/pepper to taste
  • Vegan Egg Wash
  • 1 tbsp plant milk
  • 1 tbsp neutral oil
  • ¼ tsp maple syrup

Instructions

  • Take puff pastry out of freezer and allow to thaw 30-40 minutes until workable.
  • In a large pan over medium heat cook your vegan butter and onions for 15 minutes. Add garlic and 1 chopped portobello mushroom and continue cooking 5 minutes until mushrooms have softened.
  • Add spinach, leaves from 2 sprigs (½ tsp dried) thyme and a dash of salt and pepper and cook until wilted.
  • Place mixture in a sieve and remove as much moisture as possible (if it's too moist the puff pastry will break), I usually use a dish towel or two to squish out the liquid. Add flax and mustard and mix well.
  • Add rice, diced or shredded vegan cheese, 2-4 more fresh thyme sprig leaves (about ½ tsp dried), salt and pepper to taste and mix well, set aside to cool.
  • In the same pan cook the remaining 2 whole portobello mushrooms (after rinsing and remove the stems) on each side for 5 minutes, set aside to cool.
  • Once fillings are completely cooled, preheat your oven to 400ºF/200ºC.
  • Roll out your puff pastry to between ⅛-¼ inch thick in a rectangle shape, as thin as possible but still being workable and not breakable.
  • Add half the filling to the pastry in the same rectangle shape, leaving borders around the pastry, then place portobellos on top. Add rest of filling and gently squish down.
  • Fold over the long edges and squish down, then fold the short edges up, wrapping it like a present. You may find it helpful to dip your finger in water and run this along the seals to help it stick together.
  • Carefully roll it over and place on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Add slits in a criss-cross design.
  • Mix together vegan egg wash and top entire loaf with wash. Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown, you may want to broil it for just a bit to get the color you want towards the end.
  • Allow to cool a bit and then cut into servings!
