Hearty Curry Potato and Lentil Wellington

This is a proper centerpiece recipe, but with way more personality than a traditional Wellington. Wellington is often seen as a festive Christmas table kind of dish, something golden, impressive, and made for slicing into, but this version is fun enough to eat all year round. It has flaky puff pastry wrapped around a hearty Caribbean-inspired curry potato and lentil filling, with scotch bonnet bringing that fruity heat and roasted plantain tucked through the middle for a little sweetness. It feels festive, bold, cozy, and comforting all at once, like a golden pastry parcel filled with spice, softness, sweetness, and warmth. A little unexpected, very fun, and such a good one to bring to the table when you want something plant-based that still feels special.
