wellington

Gordon Ramsay's version of the classic steak dish – a showstopping centrepiece on a special occasion

Beef wellington

beef

olive oil

250 grams/9 ounces chestnut mushroom,include some wild ones if you like

butter

thyme

100 milliliters/3.5 fl oz dry white wine

prosciutto

egg yolksbeaten with 1 tsp water

Sit the 1kg beef fillet on a <a href="https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/review/test-five-best-roasting-tins">roasting tray</a>, <a href="https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/content/test-best-pastry-brushes">brush</a> with 1 tbsp olive oil and season with pepper, then roast for 15 mins for medium-rare or 20 mins for medium. When the beef is <a href="https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/content/top-five-meat-thermometers">cooked to your liking</a>, remove from the oven to cool, then chill in the fridge for about 20 mins.

While the beef is cooling, <a href="https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/content/top-five-paring-knives">chop</a> 250g chestnut (and wild, if you like) mushrooms as finely as possible so they have the texture of coarse breadcrumbs. You can use a <a href="https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/content/test-five-best-food-processors">food processor</a> to do this, but make sure you pulse-chop the mushrooms so they don’t become a slurry.

Heat 2 tbsp of the olive oil and 50g butter in a <a href="https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/content/five-best-saucepans">large pan</a> and fry the mushrooms on a medium heat, with 1 large sprig fresh thyme, for about 10 mins stirring often, until you have a softened mixture.

Season the mushroom mixture, pour over 100ml dry white wine and cook for about 10 mins until all the wine has been absorbed. The mixture should hold its shape when stirred.

Remove the mushroom duxelle from the pan to cool and discard the thyme.

Overlap two pieces of cling film over a large <a href="https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/content/test-five-best-chopping-boards">chopping board</a>. Lay 12 slices prosciutto on the cling film, slightly overlapping, in a double row.

Spread half the duxelles over the prosciutto, then sit the fillet on it and spread the remaining duxelles over.

Use the cling film’s edges to draw the prosciutto around the fillet, then roll it into a sausage shape, twisting the ends of cling film to tighten it as you go.

Chill the fillet while you roll out the pastry.

Dust your work surface with a little flour. <a href="https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/content/kimberley-wilsons-top-five-marble-rolling-pins">Roll out</a> a third of the 500g pack of puff pastry to a 18 x 30cm strip and place on a <a href="https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/content/kimberley-wilsons-top-5-baking-trays">non-stick baking sheet</a>.

Roll out the remainder of the 500g pack of puff pastry to about 28 x 36cm.

Unravel the fillet from the cling film and sit it in the centre of the smaller strip of pastry.

Beat the 2 egg yolks with 1 tsp water and <a href="https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/content/test-best-pastry-brushes">brush</a> the pastry’s edges, and the top and sides of the wrapped fillet.

Using a rolling pin, carefully lift and drape the larger piece of pastry over the fillet, pressing well into the sides.

Trim the joins to about a 4cm rim. Seal the rim with the edge of a fork or spoon handle.

Glaze all over with more egg yolk and, using the back of a knife, mark the beef Wellington with long diagonal lines taking care not to cut into the pastry.

Chill for at least 30 mins and up to 24 hrs. Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6.

Brush the Wellington with a little more egg yolk and cook until golden and crisp – 20-25 mins for medium-rare beef, 30 mins for medium. Allow to stand for 10 mins before serving in thick slices.

“Many methods for beef Wellington involve wrapping the meat in a thin crepe or blanched cabbage leaves, to keep the moisture contained and prevent the puff pastry from going soggy. A sheet of filo pastry is a simple option. This recipe is an exception to the rule of
letting the meat come to room temperature before cooking, because you want the beef rare while the pastry is well cooked” - Anthony Puharich. This is an edited extract from Meat by Anthony Puharich and Libby Travers (Murdoch Books, $79.99). On sale now.

This delicious salmon coulibiac makes for an easy and healthy mid-week family meal. Leftovers: Use the puff pastry to make pies and pasties. Use the capers to add flavour to tuna meats.

Salmon coulibiac

eggs

vegetable oil

salmon

(24 x 24cm)

green shallots, ends trimmed, thinly sliced crossways

tbsp capers

tbsp finely chopped fresh dill

Salt & black pepper

Our melty mushroom and stilton wellingtons are simple to make using shop-bought puff pastry. This smart vegetarian main is perfect for entertaining on winter nights

Mushroom wellingtons

spinach leaves

flour

tbsp picked thyme leaves

block all-butter puff pastry

stilton, sliced

egg, beaten

Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Remove the stalks from the mushrooms. Heat half the oil in a large frying pan and sizzle the mushrooms for 3-4 mins on each side until golden and cooked through – add a drop more oil if needed. Lift the mushrooms out onto kitchen paper to drain.

Place the same pan back on the heat with the rest of the oil. Fry the garlic for a moment, add the spinach to the pan, then cook for 2-3 mins over a high heat until completely wilted. Season with salt and pepper, then tip the spinach into a large sieve to drain thoroughly.

On a lightly floured surface scattered with the thyme leaves, roll the pastry out to the thickness of a £1 coin. Using a saucer and a larger-size plate, cut out 4 circles about 5cm wider than the mushrooms (for the bottoms) and 4 circles about 10cm wider (for the tops), re-rolling the trimmings if you need to.

Place the four smaller circles on a baking tray and top each with a quarter of the spinach, making sure the pile of spinach isn’t wider than the mushrooms. Top the spinach with a slice of cheese, then a mushroom, smooth-side up, and top the mushroom with another slice of cheese. Brush the border to each circle with egg, then gently stretch the larger circle over the mushroom, trying not to trap any air, then press the edges together with a fork. Trim the edges with a knife if you want, then brush each generously with egg. Bake for 40 mins until golden, then leave to cool for a few mins before serving.

A twist on the classic beef wellington with a succulent fillet of pork and a rich mustard and cream sauce. Treat yourself to the ultimate posh sausage roll

Pork wellington

pork 800

shallot

wild mushrooms (such as chanterelles), finely chopped

sage

parsley

chives

spinach

chicken liver pâté

pack puff pastry

plain flour

pot double cream

Dijon mustard

Heat a pan with a little oil to a very high heat and season the pork fillets well all over. Put 1 fillet in the pan and fry for 2 mins to give it a little colour all over. Remove and repeat with the other fillet, then leave both to rest and cool.

Fry the shallot in the butter in the same pan for 2 mins, then add the mushrooms and cook until both are soft. Add the herbs and cook for 1 min. Season, tip 1/ 3 of the mixture into one bowl (reserved for the sauce) and the rest into another, and set aside to cool. Don’t wash the pan.

Meanwhile, heat a little oil in another large pan, add the spinach and cook briefly until wilted. Set aside until cool enough to squeeze out all the excess moisture, then chop. Tip the spinach into the first pan and use it to wipe up all the seasoning and juices.

Overlap two pieces of cling film over a large chopping board. Lay the slices of prosciutto on the cling film in two rows, slightly overlapping. Carefully spread the pâté mixture over the prosciutto, then sit the pork fillets on top. Pack the mushrooms in the gaps, then top with the spinach. Use the cling film to draw the prosciutto around the fillet mixture, then roll it into a sausage shape, twisting the ends of cling film to tighten it as you go. Chill while you roll out the pastry.

Dust the work surface with a little flour. Roll out a third of the pastry to an 18 x 30cm strip about 2mm thick and place on a non-stick baking sheet. Roll out the remainder of the pastry to about 28 x 36cm, also 2mm thick. Unroll the fillet from the cling film and sit it in the centre of the smaller strip of pastry. Brush the pastry’s edges with the yolk mixture, as well as the top and sides of the wrapped fillet. Using a rolling pin, lift and drape the larger piece of pastry over the fillet, pressing well into the sides. Trim the joins to about a 4cm rim. Seal the rim with the edge of a spoon handle. Glaze all over with more egg yolk and, if you like, mark the wellington using the back of a knife, taking care not to cut into the pastry. Chill for at least 30 mins or up to 24 hrs.

6 Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Brush the wellington with a little more egg yolk and cook for 35-40 mins until golden – the pork will be just pink in the middle. Allow to stand for 10 mins before serving in thick slices.

To make the sauce, bring the cream to the boil, add the mustard and reserved mushroom mixture, and remove from the heat. Season and stir well before serving.

This classic vegan Wellington is packed with tender butternut squash, mushrooms, chestnuts, and raisins! It&#039;s super easy to make, delicious, and requires no beans, lentils, or tofu!

Vegan Vegetable Wellington

butternut

tbsp oil

tsp salt

chestnuts

raisins

walnuts

soy sauce

tsp each: dried rosemary, dried thyme

tsp black pepper

puff pastry (about 9 ounces)

Prepare the butternut squash: slice off the ends and discard. Next, cut the squash in half. Using a sharp vegetable peeler, peel off the skin and discard. Note: you can also use a sharp knife to cut off the skin.Use an ice cream scoop or spoon to scoop out the seeds and pulp. Discard.Finally, dice the butternut squash into 1-inch cubes.

Preheat oven to 425 °F(220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Transfer the diced butternut squash to the baking sheet and drizzle with the oil. Sprinkle with salt, and use your hands to coat the diced butternut squash with the oil. Spread the cubes into an even layer.

Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the butternut squash is fork-tender. Remove from heat and set aside.

Roasted Butternut Squash

Heat the butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once melted, add the minced garlic and shallots, and sauté for 2-3 minutes.

Next, add the diced mushrooms and sauté for another 5 minutes.

Add the roasted butternut squash, cooked chestnuts, dried raisins, walnuts, soy sauce, herbs, black pepper, and salt. Stir to mix everything and cook for another 5 minutes. Remove from heat and taste the filling. Adjust the seasonings to taste.

Using a large spatula, or potato masher, roughly mash about half of the filling. This step will help the filling hold together better and prevent it from crumbling.
