Buffalo Chicken Wellington Food

MUMMIFIED BEEF WELLINGTON

Steps:

• For the beef wellington: Season the beef with salt and pepper on all sides. Heat a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat, add the oil and tenderloin and sear 1 to 2 minutes per side. Set aside to cool.
• For the mushroom duxelles: Add the mushrooms, garlic and shallot to a food processor and pulse a few times until coarsely chopped. Heat the butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until melted. Add the mushroom mixture and stir. Cook, stirring every couple of minutes, until the mushrooms begin to brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, deglaze with the sherry, then add the fresh thyme. Set aside to cool.
• Place a piece of plastic wrap on a work surface and lay the prosciutto slices in the middle, overlapping them slightly to create a rectangle. Spread the mushroom mixture evenly over the prosciutto. Place the cooled tenderloin in the middle of the rectangle, then roll the prosciutto over the tenderloin using the plastic wrap until it's wrapped tight. Chill for at least 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface and roll out into a rectangle large enough to envelop the tenderloin. Using a pizza cutter, make 1/2-inch slices halfway through each side of the rectangle, making sure you do not intersect the cuts.
• Remove the tenderloin from the plastic and place in the middle of the puff pastry sheet. Start at the bottom (or the "feet" of the mummy) and wrap the pastry strips around the tenderloin, alternating sides. Make sure to tuck the end of each pastry strip under the tenderloin to secure. No need to be precise--this is a mummy! Continue until you are about 4 inches from the top. Leave a hole for the "face" about 1 inch thick. Continue wrapping until the "head" is completely covered. Position the olive "eyes." Transfer the mummy to a greased baking sheet and brush the pastry with the egg wash.
• Bake until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 125 degrees F, 35 to 40 minutes.
• For the red wine sauce: Meanwhile, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Add the shallots and garlic and saute until softened and translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Deglaze with the red wine, bring to a simmer and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the beef stock, bring to a simmer and cook until reduced by half, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Mix the remaining 2 tablespoons butter with the flour in a small bowl with a fork. Reduce the heat under the skillet to low, slowly whisk in the butter and flour mixture and cook until the sauce thickens to the consistency of maple syrup, about 10 minutes.
• Let the tenderloin rest for 10 minutes, then slice into 2-inch rounds and serve with the sauce.

CHICKEN & MUSHROOM WELLINGTON

Steps:

• To make the filling, melt the butter in a frying pan over a medium heat until sizzling, then fry the mushrooms for 8 mins until soft and lightly browned. Add the garlic, thyme and lemon juice, turn the heat up to medium-high and cook for 1 min more until the liquid from the mushrooms has evaporated. Season, remove from the heat and leave to cool completely. Tip the mixture into a bowl with the soft cheese and mustard, then beat everything together with a wooden spoon. Put in the fridge while you prepare the chicken. Will keep covered in the fridge for up to a day.
• Lay the chicken breasts out on a board, open out slightly, then bash gently with a meat mallet or rolling pin until they are an even thickness. Season and set aside. Unravel the pastry sheet and cut out a 16cm rectangle and an 18cm one. Lay the smaller rectangle on a sheet of baking parchment and brush with a little of the beaten egg. Lay one of the chicken breasts on top, smooth-side down. Spoon over the mushroom mixture and top with the second breast, smooth-side up, so the thicker sides of the breasts are at opposite ends to each other. Brush the exposed pastry border and the top of the chicken with more of the beaten egg, then drape over the larger pastry rectangle and tuck it in so the chicken is snugly enclosed. Trim the excess pastry into an oval, leaving a 4cm border, then crimp the border with a fork to seal. Re-roll any trimmings and use them to decorate the wellington, if you like (see tip, below). Chill for at least 1 hr or up to 24 hrs.
• Heat the oven to 210C/190C fan/gas 6½ with a baking tray inside. Brush the wellington all over with most of the remaining beaten egg. Carefully lift it on its baking parchment onto the hot baking tray and bake for 25 mins, then brush with the remaining beaten egg and season with sea salt. Bake for another 10-15 mins until light golden brown. Rest for 5 mins before carefully carving in half.
