A big slam for carnivores!
the question I am able to write a post without a pun, I would say certainly not !
I must keep abreast of the challenge that unfolds before your eyes, dear viewers (not a misnomer oh no no, you're watching a screen, so you have many viewers, then stop this pernicious little look like " but why does it always pedantically? ). I will indeed write my lovely assistant in a box ... oh no thin, that's for my blog fan of David Copperfield! the question I am able to write a post without a pun, I would say certainly not !
I will indeed try to recreate the recipe you are following my Bible (Cambridge As A Head O how often op. Quotes!) While the latter will take quite a long weekend still in the parental home, since she was sorely missed by your narrator!
Well then hey, another challenge ( it is well known that a challenge can hide another! ) at a time when the only recipes that I meet are tax revenues where the words " book and make reduce "are gradually replaced by deduction and tax credit , in the jargon where people wonder about the possibilities of" international tax evasion "as those" where could I find a recipe to Cantal? , I resisted and prepares traditional dishes of the Savoy Hotel , oh my yes môôôsieur the skeptic! And besides I've not said that my dough is fluted in the fridge!
So then, much to warn you right away: this post is for carnivorissimes, non enthusiasts light attitude, to enjoy life, to the owners of a nice little wine ( O yes brave literary friend, you've noticed understatement, thank you daddy for Mouton Cadet 1982 ... I still remember!). And much
warn you that this recipe for 3 very appropriate tree for 6! And
then as tribute to the man who inspired me terribly, because he can speak to carnivores: Claude-Olivier , the small Swiss aptly named!
So then, without further ado, here is my Coeuf Fillet of Beef Wellington:
For 3 or 6, rather definitely yes 6!
- 3 hearts of beef tenderloin
- 120 grams of mushrooms
Paris - 60 grams of mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 600 grams of puff pastry ideally made yourself ( was my first time and the result was stunning ... make fond cheese the next day falls from pasta was just as divine!) (I'll post the recipe for the paste one of these 4!)
-
shallots - a clove of garlic minced
- a bay leaf
- Thyme
- 6 slices of good ham in Parma
- 3 pancakes with chives (pfiouh I can not remember more the recipe is so good ... I updater very soon!)
-
olive oil - sea salt, pepper. Salt and pepper
these sumptuous pieces of beef, sear in a skillet over high heat with a little olive oil on all sides.
Book.
Prepare the mushrooms duxelles ( word is it by cracking ?!, It is almost cabbage duxelles ..): Finely chop the mushrooms, garlic and shallots. Heat the remaining olive oil, sauté shallots and garlic, then add mushrooms.
Sprinkle with thyme and laurel bloom. Add salt and pepper. When cooking begins to satisfy you, add two tablespoons of cream, let reduce heat to medium, some minutes.
Prepare pancakes with chives as the instructions that your poor head will forward these next few days.
Proceed with incredibly amazing assembling the different elements: take a pancake with chives, to place two slices of Parma ham,
third of the mushrooms duxelles, a core thread Beef, close the pancake to form a pouch. Roll of transparent paper. Book these purses in the fridge for an hour. (Do not do it because of time, and actually the shape is not super nice, but I can assure you that by closing their eyes, they were well at the Savoy Hotel!)
Cut the pastry into three equal parts.
Roll each part into a disk 3 mm thick, top with a pouch, close it. Trim excess dough. Glaze the pastry with egg yolk (the original recipe called for to do it twice, leaving ten minutes rest every pouch between the two "gilded" but lack of time I did that superficially, how sad! ).
And presto! 12 little minutes in oven at 180 ° C (14 I think for me, the problem of the oven!) For rare meat!
Serve with corn salad and enjoy this wonder! The real presentation that would serve the fillet cut into two equal halves.
And voila! And as they say at Wimbledon, to repeat such a marvel, the ball is in your court ..
I know one who was excited about her by the delicious flavors in cooking ... you can almost see her sniffing in all directions!
