Vegan Beef Wellington with Mushroom Pate
Ingredients:
1 tbs non dairy margarine
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 clove garlic, minced
1 medium leek, chopped
5 cups button mushrooms, chopped
1 zucchini, chopped
1 cup small brocolli florets
4 sheets vegan puff pastry
4 tbs wholegrain mustard
1/2 cup brown rice
1 vegetable stock cube
2 tsp tamari
1 tbs vegan mayonnaise
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 cup soft silken tofu
1/2 cup walnuts
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried marjoram
1/4 cup fresh parsley
Method:
1. Heat half your margarine a fry pan over medium heat, add 1/2 your leek, 2 cups of chopped mushrooms, tamari and the thyme. Cook for approximately 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until mushrooms are cooked.
2. Place the mushroom mixture into your blender, add mayonnaise, breadcrumbs, tofu and walnuts and blend until smooth. Place in a small bowl, cover and refrigerate.
3. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Cook your brown rice according to packet instructions, dissolving one vegetable stock cube into the water while cooking. In the same fry pan as you used for the mushroom mixture, heat the rest of your margarine over medium heat, add garlic and leek, cook for 2 minutes. Add the wine and simmer for 2 minutes. Add your mushrooms and simmer for 5 minutes. Add your zucchini and broccoli and cook, stirring occasionally for approximately 7 – 10 minutes (depending on how soft you like your vegetables), then remove from the heat until your brown rice is ready.
4. In a large bowl mix your vegetable mixture with the brown rice. Add your parsley and mix it through.
5. In the middle of each sheet of pastry spread 1 tbs of mustard, 2 tbs of the mushroom pate and 1/4 of the vegetable mixture, top with another tbs of the pate and fold the pastry to make a pie, the edges of the pastry should stick with some pressure but, a little water or soy milk will work as well. Put each pie on a non stick baking tray, poke some steam holes in them and bake for 35 minutes.
Serve with a garden salad or mashed potato or eat it on its own. Either way it’s yum!

1/4 c. heavy cream
4 cloves garlic
1/4 c. brandy
2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. pepper
1/8 tsp. allspice
Bay leaves and thyme
Line the bottom of a pate dish with 4 slices of sidepork (the fattier the better). Mix all meats well. Put eggs, garlic, chicken livers, brandy, and cream into blender and add one handful of meat mixture. Then pour this into the meat mixture. Stir in pepper, salt, allspice, and flour. Stir thoroughly and pour into lined dish. Put bay leaves and thyme on top and cover with the remaining slices of fresh side pork. Cover tightly and bake in a pan of water for 1 1/2 hours at 400 degrees. Fifteen minutes before the end of cooking, uncover the dish and let the top brown.
After the pate is cooked, put a heavy weight on top of mixture to squeeze out the grease. Make 1 or 2 days ahead (it's much better). Can be kept in refrigerator for 2 weeks. Delicious served with cocktail onions and baby dills (not sweet). Perfect for parties and buffets!

Put prepared filling on one half of circle, fold pastry over, moisten edge with water, and press or crimp edges together by hand or with fork.
