To cater to plant-based consumers this holiday season, UK supermarket chain Asda is launching a vegan wellington alternative that's made with chickpeas in place of meat. The plant-based Christmas meal takes inspiration from the classic meat-filled puff pastry dish by offering a substitute made entirely from chickpeas, cranberries, apricots, seasonal spices and a sweet cranberry sauce, all within a crisscrossed golden pastry shell.
Asda's Christmas range also includes vegan-friendly fare like no-pork cocktail sausage and cranberry and apple stuffing balls. The chain is also introducing a range of vegan desserts that it promises "nobody will be able to resist this Christmas," as part of its commitment to sharing inventive festive treats that are opulent and inclusive.
