Am having friends over to dinner and would like to make a beef Wellington but one of them cannot stand mushroom.
Does anyone have any suitable swaps?
I could make something different but asking first!

A friend does a good version with a mix of caremelized red onions, wilted spinach and blue cheese. It doesn’t give quite the “right” texture as mushroom duxelles, but it is tasty.

I think a mix of red and green peppers and leeks, all softened in butter or olive oil would work well.
Or another idea is slivers of fennel, chopped sun-dried tomatoes and finely diced aubergine. All softened in butter or olive oil, I'd also add garlic to both of those mixtures.
I know it's classic to use a smooth paté, but personally I prefer to use a more chunky country style paté.

Chestnuts would be good.

I’d use aubergine. Chopped up with the onion it would have a similar appearance and texture.
