Organisation backfire...

Cooking for 10 on Christmas Day. I’ve just made a rather excellent mushroom wellington to freeze then cook on the day. Except the bastard doesn’t fit in the freezer😭

Will it keep in the fridge if I wrap it up well? It’s vegan if that makes any difference. Or should I cook it now, cut in half and then freeze?

Any wise tips on how to fix this please MN!

I'm sure it'll be fine in the fridge. I can't think of any vegan ingredient that wouldn't keep for a few days.

Are you freezing it on a tray and the tray won’t fit? Would it fit if it wasn’t on a tray? Or could you unwrap the pastry and divide it into 2 shorter parcels?

I’m not sure I’d want to eat it after 4 days in the fridge so maybe cook and freeze would be best though it might not be as good reheated.

Thanks @TickledOnion I hadn't actually thought of taking it off the tray 🤦‍♀️ I've taken it off and managed to squeeze in it, it's a little squashed but at least it will taste good!

Yabu not to share the recipe!!

Well done TickledOnion!

@Santaisonthesherry it was a made up recipe but was onions, celery, mushrooms, chestnuts and some chopped up veggie sausages mixed with hazelnuts, breadcrumbs and some marmite stock! Then wrapped in puff pastry

Oooh sounds delish! Did you buy the vegan puff pastry or make it yourself? If the former - where from and is it any good? If the latter, is it the same Royal Faff as non-vegan puff?

I used Sainsbury's ready rolled pastry - lazy and vegan! Win win!

Quantities needed please.

Sounds fab! Thank you so much.

Urm Baltic OP said the recipe was made up, therefore unlikely to have measured ingredients. I know I don't. Plus your post came across very rude.
