Method

  1. Preheat oven to 190°C. Ensure frozen puff pastry is thawed.
  2.  Toast walnuts and cashews for 12 mins, then pulse in a
    food processor for a coarse texture, maintaining some texture. Set aside.
  3. Heat oil in a wide non-stick pan. Sauté leeks with a pinch of salt for 2-3 mins. Add garlic and 3-4 tbsp of
    water, then cover to steam for 5 mins. Add butter and oat milk, and cook for 2 mins.
  4. Introduce carrots, rice, chestnuts, tamari/soy sauce, lemon juice, pinch of salt & pepper, roasted nuts, smoked paprika, and cranberries. Mix and cook for an additional 2-3 mins. Adjust seasoning to taste. Remove thyme leaves from stalks, add to the dish, and set aside.
  5. Slice and brown red onions in oil on high heat. Add balsamic vinegar, then mix in maple syrup and salt for caramelisation. Combine with the rest of the dish.
  6. Line a loaf tin with baking parchment, add filling, and compress.
  7. Roll out puff pastry sheets into one large sheet. Place filling in the centre, wrap with pastry, and seal edges. Make a bow with extra pastry. Brush with oat milk for a golden finish. Bake for 40 mins. Serve with vegan gravy for a festive main course.
