Ingredients

  • for the pastry:
  • 375g plain flour
  • 150g cold butter, diced
  • 60g parmesan
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tblsp milk
  • 8 flat cap mushrooms
  • 4 tblsp olive oil
  • salt and pepper
  • 50g rosemary, finely chopped
  • 100g red onion chutney
  • 200g goat’s cheese

  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 200g rocket
  • 14 cherry tomatoes
  • 100ml extra virgin olive oil
  • salt and pepper
  • pinch of sugar

Method

  • First, make the pastry. Sieve the flour into a food processor with the cold
  • butter and Parmesan. Pulse to a breadcrumb texture and add the egg and
  • milk. Process until the mix comes together and work into a ball. Cover and
  • leave in the fridge fro two hours.
  • Trim and wash the mushrooms and fry in a pan with the olive oil until
  • cooked. Season and sprinkle with the chopped rosemary and set to one side
  • to cool.
  • Pre-heat the oven to 170c/ gas mark 3. Divide the mushrooms into pairs and
  • put the onion chutney into the base of four of the mushrooms. Mix the
  • cheeses and place on top of the onion. Cover the cheese with the second
  • mushroom.
  • Roll out the pastry and cut into circles large enough to drape over and cover
  • the mushroom. Brush with the egg and cook in the oven for about twenty
  • minutes, until golden brown and hot through.
  • Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and dress with a little olive oil, salt, pepper
  • and sugar. Roast quickly in the oven on a tray for five minutes.
  • Dress the rocket and scatter around the plate. Surround the rocket with the
  • cherry tomatoes and place the Wellington on top.
