Beef Wellington

Beef Wellington

INGREDIENTS:

Mushroom Mixture
8 ounces mushrooms
1 clove garlic
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
Thyme

2 6-ounce beef tenderloins
2 tablespoons oil, for searing
English mustard
¼ pound sliced ham
1 sheet puff pastry, thawed, rolled-out, and cut into 2 7x7-in squares
Egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water)



PREPARATION:

In a food processor, place mushrooms, garlic, salt, pepper, and thyme and blend into a fine paste (about 30-60 seconds).
Transfer to a medium-sized frying pan, being sure to spread it evenly across the bottom of the pan.
Cook the mushrooms over medium-low heat while stirring frequently. After about 7-10 minutes the mushroom mixture should shrink to half the original volume and begin to form a paste. At this point, remove the mushroom mixture from the heat and set it aside. (NOTE: The goal here is to cook off the bulk of the water inside the mushrooms. This’ll keep the puff pastry from being too mushy at the end.)
Preheat oven to 400˚F/200˚C.
Liberally season the outside of the tenderloin pieces with salt and pepper. In another medium-sized frying pan, heat 2 tablespoons of neutral oil over high heat. Once the oil has begun to smoke, quickly sear the tenderloin pieces on both sides (45-60 seconds per-side). Once seared, transfer the meat to a plate or cutting board to rest.
Using a basting brush, generously paint the mustard over the resting pieces of beef, making sure to coat both sides.
To assemble the Wellingtons, lay out a piece of puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Place a piece of ham in the center of the pasty. Next, layer about 1 tablespoon of the mushroom mixture on the center of the ham using the back of a spoon to flatten the paste to about the size of the tenderloin pieces. Place one of the mustard-coated beef fillets on top of the mushroom mixture, then top the piece of beef with another spoonful of the mushroom mixture, making sure to pat it down flat across the top of the meat. Layer with another piece of ham and close the Wellington by folding the puff pastry over the center of the meat. Using your hands, carefully seal the edges of the pastry then transfer SEAM-SIDE DOWN to a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
Lightly brush the outside of each Wellington with egg wash. Using the back of a paring knife, lightly score the tops of the pasty in a checkered pattern, being careful not to pierce the pastry.
Bake the Wellingtons in a 400˚F/200˚C oven until the pastry is fully cooked and golden brown (about 20 minutes).
Allow each Wellington to rest at least 10 minutes before cutting into it.

How to Butcher an Entire Pig

How to Butcher an Entire Pig





Butcher and author Bryan Mayer shows Bon Appetit how to butcher an entire pig at Wyebrook Farm and explains every cut of pork. There are five sections of the pig that yield edible cuts: pork shoulder, pork belly, pork loin, pork butt (or ham), and the head. From those sections, the butcher can offer sausage, bacon, spare ribs, brisket, ribs, steaks, pork chops, pork cutlets, coppa, press, secret, and tenderloin.

Pesto Chicken Garlic Knot Sliders

INGREDIENTS:

Pizza dough (2 pies worth, or about 1.5-2 lbs)
3 cups rotisserie chicken, shredded
1 8-ounce jar of pesto
2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
3 tablespoons salted butter, melted
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons parsley, finely chopped
PREPARATION:

Preheat oven to 400˚F/200˚C.
Cut pizza dough into eighths. (Each ball of dough should yield 8 even-sized pieces of dough, for a total of 16).
Using your hands, roll each piece of dough into a thin strip about 7 inches long. Then carefully tie them into a knot, tucking the loose ends of dough underneath.
Place each tied knot on a baking sheet or casserole dish with high sides, nestling them close together in a 4x4 grid. Once all the knots are placed in the dish, cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
Uncover and bake for 12 minutes or until the slider buns are golden brown and no doughy gray bits remain.
Once the knots are out of the oven, lower the oven temperature to 350˚F/180˚C.
Allow the knots to cool, carefully remove them from the baking dish and cut the grid horizontally, creating both a top and bottom piece. (NOTE: It’s helpful to hold the knots together with a towel on top while cutting them horizontally, as the motion of the knife might cause some of them to pull apart.)
Return the bottom half of the knot-grid to the original baking dish. Evenly layer the bread with cooked chicken, followed by the pesto and mozzarella cheese. Place the top half of the garlic knots on top.
Mix together melted butter, garlic, and parsley. Brush mixture liberally over the top of the knots.
Bake at 350˚F/180˚C for an additional 10 minutes until the tops of the knots are golden brown and cheese is melted.
Pull apart for individual sliders.

3. Using a circular cookie cutter or a mason jar lid, cut the tortillas into small circles.
