Vegan savory Christmas wreath
This savoury Christmas wreath is an easy and appetising idea that delights young and old alike. It is a tasty, eye-catching dish that wins people over with its mild, delicate flavour, its irresistible texture, crisp on the outside and creamy on the inside, and its showy, festive look.
All these qualities give it that special touch it needs to become one of the star dishes of the festive season, and in this case it also makes the table look decorated in the same way that we decorate the front door of our home at this time of year: with a Christmas wreath.
Its tasty filling, with the different and rich nuances provided by the plant-based ricotta, spinach, mushrooms, toasted cashews and the sweet and tart accents of the blueberries, pairs exquisitely with the crisp puff pastry.
Thanks to the ingredients it is made with, its inside is as delightful as it is healthy, as it is rich in complete protein, fibre, phytosterols, isoflavones, lecithin, beta-carotenes, flavonoids, tryptophan, allicin, alliin, carbohydrates, alpha-lipoic acid, omega 3, omega 6 and omega 9 fatty acids; terpenoids (antioxidants), vitamins A, C, E, K and B (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6 and B9 or folic acid), sulphur, calcium, chromium, lithium, vanadium, copper, iron, molybdenum, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, selenium, sodium and zinc.

- Step 1Peel the onion and chop it finely. Set aside.
- Step 2We wash the spinach, drain it, dry it a little, and cut it into strips 2 cm wide. We set it aside as well.
- Step 3Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat and, when it is warm, add the onion and sauté for 5 minutes.
- Step 4Meanwhile, wash and slice the mushrooms. When the onion is soft, add the mushrooms and spinach, add the salt and pepper and cook everything for 5 more minutes. After this time, turn off the heat and drain carefully.
- Step 5Grind the cashews a little in a food processor and, with the heat off, add them to the pan. Also add the blueberries and the vegan ricotta cheese and mix everything carefully. Set aside.
- Step 6Preheat the oven to 200 °C. Meanwhile, take the puff pastry sheets and cut each sheet into three equal squares. On a baking tray lined with parchment paper, arrange them in a circle, slightly overlapping each other.
- Step 7Next, add the filling, spreading it evenly all around the circle, and close by folding the inner and outer corners of the pastry squares inward.
- Step 8Once the wreath is closed, brush it with a little oil, put the tray in the oven and bake for 20 minutes, until the pastry is golden, making sure it does not burn. When the pastry is golden, turn off the oven, take out the tray and serve.
