Ingredients

2 pounds mushrooms
2 medium onion
2 tablespoons butter
1 x salt to taste
1 x black pepper to taste
4 ounces foie gras pate
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 pounds beef, tenderloin
1 x salt to taste
1 x black pepper to taste
1 pound puff pastry frozen

Directions

STUFFING: Puree the mushrooms and onions together in a food processor. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat, add the mushroom and onion mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is dry. Add salt and pepper to taste and mash in the pate. Transfer the stuffing to a bowl and chill in the refrigerator.

MEAT: Heat the oil in a skillet over high heat. Add the beef and sear on all sides. Remove the beef from the skillet and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place in the refrigerator until cold.

ASSEMBLE THE WELLINGTON: Roll out chilled puff pastry into a rectangle large enough to enclose the beef. Spread the dough with a generous layer of stuffing, place the beef on top and spoon another bit of stuffing on the beef. Wrap the pastry to enclose the beef and stuffing and place the Wellington in the refrigerator to chill for at least 15 minutes.

COOK THE WELLINGTON: Preheat oven to 425F. Place Wellington in oven and immediately lower heat to 350F. Roast for about 20 minutes.

French Chocolate Loaf Cake

It is delicious. Prep time is about an hour, but I am hardly Martha Stewart. It is rich, rich, rich. A little goes a long way. I am makinga couple for gifts. I know they will be a hit. My fiancee remembered this from a dinner party 10 years ago. I didn't have the heart not to at least try it for his 50th birthday. It's worth the trouble!!!

A truly amazing combination of flavors. The dressing is divine, the warm and tart goat cheese combined with the sweetness of apple ring is truly out of this world.
