Accip74 7,112 Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 (edited) The pastry was shite (rolled too thick), but the meat & the flavour were spot on ;-) Served with vege mash & a red wine & dark chocolate gravy...... This is one of the things I'll do Christmas Day .....so getting a bit of practice in... Edited November 18, 2016 by Accip74 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jok 3,388 Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 Absolute favourite. Only use the loin and I make the gravy with fruit, either sweet apple or pear. My goodness that looks good. Jok. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My goodness that looks good. Jok. It was good. I followed a James Martin recipe for the Wellington. I had the tail end of the fillet, not ideal, but good to practice with....;-) atb Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Accip74 7,112 Posted November 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 (edited) Mmmm What was the veg mash? Potato, carrot & cabbage.........too much potato really, but tasted fine... Edited November 18, 2016 by Accip74 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jok 3,388 Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 I'm a great believer in green veg with this dish , in particular asparagus and French beans. Potato layers with onion and ga rlic, black pepper. Really nice red and it's all good. Jok. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Accip74 7,112 Posted December 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 2nd Attempt. The meat & flavour were spot on again, but still not happy with the pastry.......but I think I know the mistake I've made, hopefully! :-) 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jok 3,388 Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 Just had a word with the lovely one about the pastry. We tried different ways when doing goose Wellington and all looked similar to yours. Venison Wellington we do the same way and the answer is straight forward puff pastry. Only our opinion. Jok.

Squeamish5 309 Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 Looks delicious, (again). Did you use a recipe? If so, please share. What's the pastry problem and what is your solution? Do you (or you, Jok) do the wrapping in a pancake or a wilted cabbage leaf thing? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kanny 21,069 Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 (edited) You can cook your mushrooms whole in the oven gill side down 20/30 minutes medium heat before chopping and frying them of then pat them down with kitchen towel you want to remove as much moisture from them as you can and make sure everything is stone cold before assembling the Wellington ..but all that aside they look delicious bud id scran the lot lol Edited December 5, 2016 by kanny Quote Link to post Share on other sites
