Step 1: blend

– For the fillet, place all the ingredients in a food processor and blend. – Add vital wheat gluten and continue blending until a lump-free mixture is formed.

Step 2: form a log

– Knead the dough for 3-4 minutes and then form into a log.

Step 3: simmer

Roll up the filet in a cheesecloth and simmer over low heat for 90 minutes. – Remove from the broth, let it cool completely and let it rest overnight in the refrigerator.

Step 4: Make duxelles

-For the duxelles, place mushrooms and tofu in a food processor and chop finely. -Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the butter.

Step 5: Cook

– Add onion, garlic and thyme and cook for 5 minutes. – Add mushroom, adjust salt and pepper and sauté for 15 minutes. – Pour in white wine and cook for another 2-3 minutes.

Step 6: chill

Step 7: roast the filet

Brush filet with 2 tbsp mustard and sear on all sides in a hot skillet with little vegetable oil. Set aside.

Step 8: prosciutto layer

-Place a piece of plastic wrap on a clean working surface and place the slices of vegan prosciutto on top so that they overlap slightly and form a layer.

Scoop the duxelles on top of the vegan prosciutto layer and smooth it out with a spoon.

Step 10: roll up
