Time 3h10m

Yield Serves 8 to 10

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 small onion, chopped (1 cup)
12 ounces mixed mushrooms, such as oyster, shiitake, and cremini, chopped (5 cups)
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
10 ounces frozen chopped spinach, thawed, drained, and squeezed dry
2 tablespoons apple-cider vinegar
2/3 cup heavy cream
2 pork tenderloins (each about 1 pound)
1 sheet frozen all-butter puff pastry, such as Dufour, thawed
Unbleached all-purpose flour, for dusting
4 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto
1 large egg
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add onion, mushrooms, and thyme; season with salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Add spinach; cook 2 minutes more. Add vinegar and 1/3 cup cream. Cook, scraping browned bits from bottom of skillet, 1 minute. Let cool completely.
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Cut a slit down length of each tenderloin, deep enough to reach center, and season with salt. Pack mushroom mixture evenly into slits, then reshape tenderloins into logs with your hands, enclosing filling as much as possible.
  • Unfold pastry on a lightly floured work surface. Roll out to an approximately 13-inch square; cut in half. Starting at one short end of each piece, score diagonal lines, 1 inch apart, with a sharp knife or pizza wheel (do not cut all the way through). Score in other direction, creating a crosshatch pattern. Transfer both doughs to a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet, scored-sides down (if they become too soft, chill briefly). Divide prosciutto evenly between doughs, overlapping to fit and leaving 1-inch borders of dough. Center a tenderloin on top of each dough, stuffed-sides down. Whisk egg with 1 teaspoon water; brush borders with egg wash. Lift long sides of each dough up and over pork, stretching slightly as necessary until edges meet; pinch edges to seal. Fold short sides up over pork and flip so seams face down. Brush all over with egg wash; cut a few 1-inch vents in tops. Refrigerate 30 minutes.
  • Bake until pastry is puffed and golden brown and a thermometer inserted into centers of pork registers 140 degrees, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer Wellingtons to a wire rack; let cool 15 minutes. Meanwhile, stir together mustard, remaining 1/3 cup cream, and 2 tablespoons water; season with salt and pepper. Slice Wellingtons into 2-inch rounds and serve with mustard sauce.

MUSHROOM AND SPINACH WELLINGTON

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 Portobello mushrooms, stemmed and gills scraped out
6 clove garlic cloves, divided into 3
1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
2 tablespoon Fresh rosemary
4 tablespoon Olive oil
1 packet Crimini or other mushrooms
2 bags Spinach
4 tablespoon Butter
2 Shallots, minced and divided
2 teaspoon Balsamic vinegar
1 cup Gruyere cheese, freshly grated
2 pinch Crushed red pepper
1 Salt and pepper, to taste
1 sheet Pepperidge Farm puff pastry dough
1 Egg
1/8 cup Heavy cream
1 Parchment paper and flour

Steps:

  • Pre-heat oven to 350F/175C
  • Arrange portobello mushroom caps, gill side up, on a baking sheet.
  • Scatter 2 minced garlic cloves thyme, and rosemary on top of mushrooms. Drizzle with 2 Tbsp olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Roast 10-15 minutes until mushrooms are browned and tender, but still holding their form.
  • Let cool and drain any liquid in the caps. Roasted caps can be refrigerated up to five days
  • Saute 1 shallot and 2 cloves of minced garlic in 2 Tbsp olive oil. Add the baby spinach and cook until it starts to wilt. Add the balsamic vinegar. Once the spinach is wilted, place it in a bowl and let cool.
  • In the same skillet, melt 2 Tbsp butter and saute 2 shallots and 2 garlic cloves. Add chopped Crimini mushrooms. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add crushed red pepper. Cook until mushrooms are soft. Add to the spinach and let cool.
  • Once the spinach/mushroom mixture is cool, add Gruyere cheese and mix.
  • Thaw puff pasty dough for 40 minutes before working with it.
  • On floured parchment paper, unfold dough and roll out 10 x 14 inch rectangle.
  • Spoon half of the spinach/mushroom mixture lengthwise down the center of the dough, leaving a 2-3 in border all around.
  • Arrange portobello caps on the filling and top with more filling.
  • Brush the borders with cream and fold over, stretching if needed, until they overlap.
  • Use the parchment paper to flip the Wellington onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper so that the seam is down.
  • Brush with cream
  • Bake until puffy, 60-75 minutes. In the last 10 minutes, brush with an egg wash (egg + water) to brown.
  • Let cool at least 10 minutes. Slice and serve

Tips:

  • Use fresh mushrooms and spinach for the best flavor. If using frozen spinach, be sure to thaw and squeeze out all the excess water before using.
  • Sauté the mushrooms and spinach until they are soft and tender. This will help to bring out their flavor and prevent them from releasing too much water during baking.
  • Season the mushroom and spinach mixture generously with salt and pepper. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or thyme.
  • Use a good quality puff pastry dough for the Wellington. This will help to ensure that the pastry is flaky and golden brown when baked.
  • Brush the Wellington with egg wash before baking. This will help to give it a shiny, golden brown crust.
  • Bake the Wellington in a preheated oven until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is heated through. The cooking time will vary depending on the size of the Wellington, so be sure to check it regularly.

Conclusion:

Mushroom and spinach Wellington is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It is relatively easy to make, but it does require some time and effort. If you are looking for a show-stopping dish that will impress your guests, this is the recipe for you.
