Method
- Preheat oven to 200C (180C fan) gas mark 6 and line a baking sheet with baking parchment. Peel the squash neck and slice evenly in half lengthways. Lay cut-side down on prepared sheet and brush with 1tbsp oil. Season and roast for 1 ¼ – 1 ½ hr, until tender. Set aside to cool
- Make the mushroom layer. Heat remaining 2tbsp oil in a large frying pan over medium heat and cook shallots for 5min, until softened. Turn up the heat to high and add mushrooms. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 12-15min until any liquid released by mushrooms has evaporated and they are golden brown. Add garlic, thyme and miso and cook for a further 2min. Remove from the heat.
- In a food processor or using a stick blender, blend cashews and stock until smooth. Stir this into mushroom mixture. Check seasoning and set aside to cool
- To assemble, line baking sheet with fresh baking parchment. Lightly flour a work surface and roll out 1/3 of the pastry to a 30.5 x 15cm (12 x 6in) rectangle. Spread over mushroom mixture leaving a 1cm (1/2in) border around the edges. Lay on roasted butternut halves making sure they join up
- Roll out the remaining pastry as before until large enough to cover the assembled filling. Lay over the filling, trim edges and crimp to seal. Chill for 30min.
- Reheat oven to 200C (180C fan) mark 6.
- Brush Wellington with soya milk and cook for 50min—1 hr, until golden brown and crisp. Leave to rest for 10min before transferring to a board or plate. Serve in slices.
