Vegan chef Gaz Oakley puts a plant-based spin on the traditional Wellington.
This dish is comfort food at its best. It’s hearty, warming and super satisfying and made a little more special with the addition of the chestnuts and caramelised onions. Great to make ahead and serve alongside a Christmas feast, or as an accompaniment to a good vegan winter stew.
A twist on the classic Mont Blanc dessert – each meringue shaped like a little snow topped mountain and filled with a hearty dollop of deliciously sweet chestnut cream. Prepare the vegan meringues and chestnut puree ahead for an easy dinner party dessert.
The soft, dense texture of the chestnut puree makes this vegan chocolate cake really fudgy and indulgent, with a sweet little crunch from the sugar coated chestnuts on top. It’s also suitable for freezing – if you can make it last that long..!
The winter spiced chestnut and grains make a delicious stuffing alternative in these vegan sausage rolls. The mixture comes together really easily, making it the perfect soft texture to pair with the crispy, golden puff pastry casing. Serve with some tomato chutney and mustard for a perfect Christmas canape.
This is a delicious savoury take on a classic Christmas recipe. The soft, sweet caramelised shallots pair perfectly with the earthy chestnuts and make for a real showstopper dish. Great as both a main and a side alongside other festive recipes.
With only 6 ingredients and taking just 10 minutes to make, it’s hard to find a reason not to whip this salad up as a Christmas table side, or speedy winter evening dinner. The spiced chestnuts and grains make this a really hearty meal, with a good protein hit from the nuts and a satisfying crunch from the cabbage.
