About this recipe
Veggie Wellington with the Thermomix TM7 is the vegetarian centrepiece your festive table has been waiting for. Searching for a Wellington recipe that delivers crunch, colour and comfort in one slice? This version pairs caramel-toned sweet potato with woody fresh rosemary and thyme, toasted sourdough and a rich, savoury filling, all sealed in flaky pastry. The all-in-one kitchen machine takes the labour out of every stage: herbs are chopped in seconds, the sweet potato is steamed until just tender, the filling is mixed to a uniform consistency and the flour is weighed to the gram straight into the bowl. Whether you need a showstopping Christmas main, a meat-free Sunday roast or a make-ahead dinner for guests, this Wellington slices beautifully and eats even better. Serve with roasted vegetables and a glossy gravy for a vegetarian feast nobody will question.
Preparation tips
- Let the steamed sweet potato cool completely before assembling, otherwise the residual heat softens the butter in the filling and makes the pastry soggy during baking.
- Brush the pastry edge with the beaten egg and press firmly with a fork to seal the Wellington, then chill the whole roll briefly so it holds its shape and bakes with a crisp, even crust.
- The filling can be made a day ahead with the sourdough, herbs and sweet potato and kept covered in the fridge; day-old sourdough actually absorbs the flavours better than fresh.
Recipe variations
- Vegan version: replace the butter with olive oil, swap the egg for a glaze of plant-based milk and maple syrup, and use ready-rolled vegan puff pastry for an entirely plant-based Wellington.
- Festive variation: add chestnuts and dried cranberries to the sweet potato filling and finish with a sprig of rosemary on top for a Christmas centrepiece with extra seasonal flair.
