Directions
- Mix all of the crust ingredients in a medium mixing bowl until it starts to hold together, then knead for 5 minutes and set aside. Leave to rest in a covered bowl on the bench for at least 1 hour.
- Saute the onion and garlic in a frypan with the olive oil until soft.
- Add the mushrooms, lentils, and wine.
Simmer for 1 minute before adding the stock water, thyme, sage, mustard, tomato paste and salt and pepper.
- Continue to simmer until the liquid has been fully absorbed by the lentils.
- Leave to cool for approximately 20 minutes before adding the besan flour to the mixture.
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees celsius.
Roll ⅓ of the pastry out into a thin, long oval shape (enough to place the filling on top). Place on a lined baking tray.
- Spoon the filling into the middle of the pastry, making sure to leave 2 cm around the edge.
- Roll out the rest of the pastry, a little larger this time as to fit around the filling.
- Place the pastry over the filling, using a fork to seal the edges.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until the pastry is golden.
- Leave the wellington on the bench to cool slightly before serving it.
