Smoked Tofu Wellington
A hearty Christmas lunch recipe for your veggie or vegan guests. The effort doesn't reflect the outcome, as the dish is a really impressive offering with little prep. The key is to get hold of smoked tofu which is available in most supermarkets or delis. Its really flavoursome and makes a tasty pie filling. Lots of ready made pastry is vegan but check the packet before buying if you are making a vegan version of this recipe,
Delicious with roast lunch drizzled with marmite gravy and a great vegan/vegetarian Xmas lunch option.

1 small onion finely chopped.
