Method

  1. Prepare the vol-au-vent cases according to the package instructions or your preferred recipe.
  2. In a large frying pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion, spring onion, and garlic, and sauté for 3 minutes until translucent. Add the mushrooms and cook for another 4 minutes until softened and any excess moisture has evaporated.
  3. Sprinkle the plain flour over the mushroom mixture and stir well. Gradually pour in the cream while stirring constantly until the mixture thickens into a rich ragout. Season with salt, black pepper, and pesto, and mix thoroughly.
  4. Remove the vol-au-vent cases from the oven and place them on a serving platter. Spoon the creamy mushroom filling into each vol-au-vent case.
  5. Serve warm with a wedge of lemon and enjoy this festive starter!
