This took me forever to find! But worth it since I'll make it again this coming holiday. I was a bit intimidated about the recipe at first, I didn't know what Marmite was, and once I bought it the smell was less than appetizing. I almost ommitted it. But I'm so glad I didn't.
I can't say enough times how absolutely amazing this dish is. My meat eating cousin decided it was much, much better than the turkey. Didn't eat the turkey. Ate my wellington instead. Score!
Chickpea roast:
450g/1lb canned chickpeas, drained 1tsp Marmite (or equivalent - I used Vegemite) 150g/5.5oz/1.25 cups chopped walnuts 150g/5.5 oz/1.25 cups fresh white breadcrumbs 1 onion, finely chopped 100g/3.5oz/1.25 cups mushrooms, sliced 50g/1.75oz canned sweetcorn, drained 2 garlic cloves, crushed 2 tbsp dry sherry 2 tbsp vegetable stock 1 tbsp chopped coriander (cilantro) pre-prepared puff pastry (I usually need 3 sheets) salt&pepper to taste
1. Put chickpeas, marmite, walnuts and breadcrumbs in a food processor. 2. Saute the onion and mushrooms in their own juices 3. Stir chickpea mixture into pan, along with sweetcorn and garlic 4. Stir in the sherry, stock, coriander and seasoning and bind together. Remove from heat and allow to cool. 5. Shape the chickpea mixture inot a loaf shape and wrap the pastry around it, sealing the edges (fold over the short sides first, then fold over the longer sides so that the pastry entirely covers the filling) 6. Place seam-side down on a greased baking sheet and score the top in a criss-cross pattern. 7. Bake at 200 degrees C for 25-30 mins
I'm going to try this tonight, but i'm not sure what you mean by fresh white breadcrumbs, do you mean a piece of white bread torn up into small crumb like pieces, or the bread crumbs you buy ion a packet from the supermarket?
I tore up bread! It was delicious. I was also out of a food processor so I just chopped everything up and then mushed the chickpeas and I loved the texture that gave it.
