Directions

  1. make the mushroom layer: preheat oven to 400 degrees. Remove gills and stem and toss caps with Mushroom & Sage olive oil. Season with garlic, salt and pepper. Place caps on a sheet pan and roast until tender, 15-20 minutes. Set roasted caps aside. Leave oven on.
  2. Make the pecan “meat”: Place shallots and garlic in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Transfer mixture to a large bowl in the food processor, pulse pecans until crumbly. Transfer pecans to shallot mixture. Add pure olive oil, sage, oregano, salt, pepper and paprika to mixture. Mix by hand until well combined. Set aside.
  3. Make the Wellington: on a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry and lay down 3 mushroom caps in a row lengthwise. Top with pecan meat in a line and cover with three more mushrooms. Roll into a log shape. Fold edges and crimp seam on bottom to seal. Transfer to a parchment-lined sheet pan. Bake until pastry is golden, 25 – 30 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes. Slice and serve.
