Preparation Steps
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 chopped medium onion and 2 minced garlic cloves, cooking for about 5 minutes until soft and fragrant.
- Add 1 cup of chopped mushrooms to the skillet, sautéing for about 7-10 minutes until they release moisture and begin to brown. Stir in 2 cups of fresh spinach until wilted.
- Remove from heat and transfer to a large bowl. Add 1 cup of cooked lentils, 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, and 2 tablespoons of nutritional yeast. Season with salt and pepper, mix well.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and roll out the puff pastry to your desired shape.
- Spoon the cooled filling into the center of the pastry, leaving space for folding. Fold the pastry over and seal the edges.
- Place seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush with plant-based egg wash and sprinkle with sesame or poppy seeds.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until golden-brown.
- Let cool for a few minutes, then cut into portions and serve warm.
Notes
For optimal results, ensure vegetables are chopped evenly and cool the filling before assembling.
