Mushroom and Kale puff pastry swirls

These vegan mushroom and kale puff pastry swirls are perfect comfort food for any time of the year, especially on a cool, rainy day like today. They can also be a great addition to your Vegan Christmas table.   

Last year I made this vegan mushroom loaf for Christmas, and it was delicious. This year, I experimented with the same basic ingredients and came up with these mushroom and kale puff pastry rolls. They are simple and quick to make and can be served as a starter or main course.


Mushroom and Kale puff pastry swirls

PREP TIME: 30 minutes
SERVES: 4 as a starter, 2 as main

Ingredients

  • 1 rectangular Vegan puff pastry (such as Lidl Chef Select Puff Pastry)

  • 200 g cremini mushrooms

  • 6 Tuscan kale leaves

  • 1/2 yellow onion

  • 3 garlic cloves

  • 1 dcl red wine

  • 2 rosemary stems

  • olive oil

  • salt, pepper


Method

  • Dice the onion and garlic, clean and slice the mushrooms, remove the kale stems and chop the kale. 

  • Fry the onion until translucent, add the garlic, followed by mushrooms and sauté for a few minutes before adding kale, rosemary and wine. 

  • Season with salt and pepper and sauté on medium heat until the liquid has evaporated. 

  • Leave to cool (this is an important step - you don’t want the puff pastry to become sticky) and pre-heat the oven to 200°C.

  • When the filling is cool, take the puff pastry out of the refrigerator and unroll it gently. Spread the filling evenly and make a roll starting with the shorter side. Use the parchment paper underneath to help you roll it evenly. 

  • Use a sharp knife to cut 3 cm thick rolls and place them on a baking tray shaping them into circles.

  • Bake until the pastry turns golden brown (about 15 minutes).
