This crisp parcel is packed with very good things indeed, like veggies, nuts, seeds, wine and even vegan cheese! Fabulously festive!
All you need to make this delicious pastry is a saucepan, a mixing bowl, a tea towel, and a pastry brush.
We recommend using a pre-made vegan filo pastry and using this tasty vegan Wensleydale cheese!
Oh and you can double check if your port or wine is vegan-friendly by using Barnivore.

Method
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180ºC/Gas Mark 4.
- Gently fry the onion until it softens, then add the mushrooms and pepper. Continue to fry for another 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
- Add the port and cook until evaporated.
- Mix in the seeds, walnuts and herbs, then season to taste.
- Transfer to a bowl, cover with kitchen roll and allow to cool down.
- Fold out one filo pastry sheet onto a work surface and keep the rest under a damp tea towel to avoid drying out. Brush with margarine and layer with another sheet.
- Put the cool filling onto the pastry so it covers the middle third of the pastry, leaving a 6cm (2¼in) gap at the top and bottom. Crumble the cheese over the filling.
- Fold the top over the filling, followed by the bottom and sides. This should leave you with a nicely packed parcel shape. Bake in oven for 30-35 minutes, until cooked.
