Preparation and assembly

1. Start the main dish and longer roasting first; prepare sides while it cooks. If components need different oven temperatures, cook them sequentially and keep the main covered and warm. Use the quantities listed for each component.
2. Mushroom Wellington: Sauté chopped onion in 15 ml oil for 6 minutes. Add finely chopped mushrooms and salt; cook for 12–15 minutes until the pan is almost dry.
3. Mushroom Wellington: Drain lentils well. Mash half roughly, then mix with mushrooms, chopped walnuts and breadcrumbs. Cool the filling completely so it does not soften the pastry.
4. Mushroom Wellington: Unroll pastry on baking paper. Shape filling into a log, wrap, place seam-side down and cut three steam vents. Brush with soy milk and remaining oil.
5. Mushroom Wellington: Bake at 200°C for 35–40 minutes until deep golden. Rest for 10 minutes and slice with a serrated knife.
6. Lemony green beans: Trim green beans and boil for 8–10 minutes until tender but not mushy. Drain.
7. Lemony green beans: Toss while warm with oil, lemon and salt. For a cold version, first rinse under cold water and dry.
8. Mustard vinaigrette: Whisk mustard with vinegar and syrup. Drizzle in oil while whisking.
9. Mustard vinaigrette: Transfer to a small leakproof container and shake before using.
10. Divide the main dish and sides into equal portions. Serve sauces separately and slice rested dishes only after their stated resting time.

Tip

Prepare fillings and sauces first for a calmer lunch. Loaves and layered bakes need resting for neat slices. Time is an estimate for a home kitchen; one oven may require longer.
