It's important to have beautiful tableware and table settings when making delicious and fresh food for those lovely spring days. We have collaborated with McNallys Family Farm who grow seasonal, organic vegetables & salads in North Co. Dublin. We had the honour of heading up to the farm ourselves to see the process of how the farm prepares it's vegetables and dishes. One of the fabulous dishes that McNallys prepared for us was the root vegetable wellington! It's fresh and organic from the vegetables but crispy and warm from the pastry on the outside. Check out our new tableware that we are so excited to incorporate spring food recipes with!

McNally Family Farm Perfectly Seasoned Root Veg Wellington
Ingredients
600g root vegetables, whole & washed (a mix of carrots, parsley root, Jerusalem artichokes and parsnips)
1 bulb garlic
1/2 lemon
Small handful of parsley
3-4 cabbage leaves, stem removed (savoy cabbage or January king cabbage)
300g mushroom (a mix of chestnut, shitake and king oyster)
1/2 onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, sliced
1 sheet of pre-rolled puff pastry (McNallys made their own puff pastry but pre-rolled pastry works just as well!)
Instructions
1. Firstly, prepare your vegetables, leaving the skin on top and tail your root veg.
2. Drizzle on some rapeseed oil, a squeeze of lemon juice, garlic cloves and some sea salt and pepper.
3. Roast at 180° until soft and starting to colour.
4. When cooked, squeeze garlic out of it's skins and through the veg, toss through the chopped parsley and season to taste.
5. While your vegetables are roasting, slice your mushrooms
6. Heat a knob of butter on a pan and add your diced onion and garlic. Once these have softened add in your mushrooms and salt and cook for 10-15 mins, stirring occasionally.
7. Once cooked, blitz in a food processor until coarse
8. Bring a pot of salted water to the boil and pop your prepped cabbage leaves in for 3-4 minutes to soften. Remove from the water and place on a tea towel to dry.
9. Roll out your pre-rolled pastry sheet onto a floured surface. Leaving the edges clear, place your cabbage leaves on your pastry, followed by a layer of mushroom.
10. On one side of the pastry, put your roasted vegetables on (as if it were a piece of beef, so try to pile it up)
11. Using both hands tuck and roll your pastry until it resembles a wellington.
12. Slit a hole in the top for the steam and bake in the oven for 40 mins at 180°
13. Serve on painted fruit platter or multi-coloured dinner plate (picture above) (Check out them out on our website)
