Georgia As per my norm I consult with the hubs when it's my week. This week he whipped out Beef Wellington. I'm always up for a new challenge when it comes to food. The funny about this week is I've been so busy that he ended up making it. We ended up choosing Tyler Florence's Beef Wellington because he uses a mushroom pate and Prosciutto over a liver pate. My opinion on how it turned out.. Oh my gosh!! It was freaking amazing. Will he make it again.. probably not. it was pretty complex compared to his favorite bean burritos. He served this with veggies and roasted herbs de province potatoes.. But.. He did a terrific job on this meal.. Jen I’ve seen Beef Wellington made on the show “Hell’s Kitchen”, and the fails that went along with it!! I decided to go an easier route and made Beef Wellington Tartlets. They were pretty good actually, considering they were inspired only by a picture with no recipe. And my husband has no idea that I put mushrooms in it <evil laugh>. :) AmySooooo.....I'm not consuming meat lately. I do this from time to time. No reason, I just don't fancy meat at times. My challenge was to find a Beefless Wellington. The interenet didn't fail me. Turns out the Beefless Wellington is the traditional entree for Christmas with a vegan/ vegetarian. I found dozens of recipes for this. I'm not trying to push a meatless diet on anyone but I will say a vegetarian Wellington is hearty, flavorful and filling. Rather than using a puff pastry I used a box of Artisan bread. It worked out perfect. Once you allow the bread to rise just roll it out thin and use cut it in half. Line a bread pan with parchment paper and mold 1/2 the dough into the pan, fill it with the veggies then cover with the other 1/2 of the dough and brush with melted butter. You want about a cup of cooked lentils. And 1/2 sunflower seeds that have soaked in water for and hour. Saute some chopped celery, onions and carrots, minced garlic. The recipe I found used poultry seasoning I used Penzeys Quebec Beef Spice. Chopped up mushrooms are used but I used about 1/3 cup of T.V.P. and a few shots of Bragg's Liquid Amino's . Tomato paste and maybe wine was involved? Salt and white pepper, to taste. Mix it all together and sling it in the loaf pan. 350° for around 45 minutes. Here's the recipe upon which I based my own: I was most pleased. NikitaNikita and family spent the week in Bulgaria.. And.. She sent me pics along the way.. That's love. Here are a few from Bulgaria and Greece I love how we are always trying new things.. Beef Wellington was a first. And I love how Amy put a vegetarian spin on it. Dinner for everyone
Looking forward to new things Georgia, Jen, Amy and Nikita
