Made this with my mom yesterday...It won the best entree award in the Vegetarian Times magazine. Took time, but was excellent!
VEGETABLES WELLINGTON:
INGREDIENTS
1 Tbs. plus 1 tsp. olive oil, divided
1 lb. asparagus, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
1 red bell pepper, cut into thin strips
1 medium onion, thinly sliced (1 1/2 cups)
1 5-oz. pkg. baby spinach leaves
1 10-oz. log goat cheese
1 4-oz. jar prepared pesto sauce
1 egg
1 17.3-oz. pkg. frozen puff pastry, thawed
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 425F. Coat baking sheet with cooking spray. Heat 1 Tbs. oil over medium-high heat. Add asparagus, bell peppers, and onion, and saut 5 to 10 minutes, or until vegetables begin to soften. Add spinach, remove from heat, and stir until spinach wilts. Cool.
Combine goat cheese and pesto in bowl. Beat egg with 2 tsp. water in separate bowl.
Lay 1 sheet puff pastry on well-floured work surface. Cut into 8 rectangles. Brush edges of rectangles with egg. Scoop 2 Tbs. sauted vegetables into center of each rectangle, keeping edges clear. Top with pesto-cheese mixture. Cut remaining puff pastry sheet into 8 rectangles, and place on top of vegetables and cheese, stretching dough gently by hand to cover entire surface. Press edges firmly with fingers or fork to seal tightly. Place on prepared baking sheet, and brush tops with egg. Chill 10 minutes.
Bake 25 minutes, or until pastry is golden brown. Meanwhile, heat tomato sauce in saucepan until warm.
To serve: Spoon 1/4 cup tomato sauce (optional) onto plate and top with Wellington.
SOME NOTES
We had some of the vegetable mixture and cheese mixture left over. We had an extra sheet of puff pastry, so we used up the vegetable and cheese mixtures. If you don't want to do so, you could use the vegetable mixture in a fajita, and the cheese mixture on top of toast.
Enjoy!
