"There are so many disappointing veggie main course options out there for Christmas. Vegetarian food is wonderful, so it seems pitiful that, for the most important feast of the year, non-meat-eaters seem to be forgotten or fobbed off with a wizened nut roast that tastes of nothing but dried sage. This year I’ve created a beautiful, glossy wellington to grace the vegetarian Christmas table. It does have a few nuts in it but the filling is flavourful and juicy, with not a dried herb in sight, and the brioche crust is a cut above anything you’d see wrapped around a beef fillet. I’d be proud to serve this to my family on Christmas Day, and I hope you will be, too."
