Pork-Wellington

 


Love tender meet and puff pastry?  Then take a pork tenderloin, wrap it in prosciutto ham, mushrooms, and a puff pastry!  It is just as tender and tasty as its cousin, Beef-Wellington.



Recipe for Pork-Wellington - First dry and season the pork tenderloin, keeping it simple with salt, pepper, and olive oil.  Sear the tenderloin on the grill or on the stove for simplicity.  This takes 3 minutes for each side.
Once this is done you can further season the beef with herbs like thyme, English mustard, anything you want.  Next prepare the mushrooms.  Puree or finely chop ~3 cups worth of mushrooms.  Next, cook the puree to get the water out, this takes about 8-10 minutes on medium-low heat.  The mushrooms give flavor and also help keep the puff pastry from getting soggy.
Now assemble the Wellington.  Take a defrosted puff pastry and roll it out somewhat.  You want it big enough to surround the tenderloin and not too thin.  Line the puff pastry with prosciutto ham, or another type ham of your choice. Then spread the cooked mushroom puree on the ham.  Place the tenderloin in the middle then egg wash the edges and wrap.  Egg wash the outside and chill in the refrigerator for twenty minutes.          
Lastly, place the Wellington in a 400° oven for 25 to 30 minutes.

Here is a video to show you all these steps.

  2. I think I'd love this pork version of Wellington with prosciutto even better than with beef. You've plated it beautifully!

  3. Bandwith, this is genius! I've never had Pork Wellington, but the combo of the mushroom sauce and the proscuitto sounds so good. I might even give up my quasi-vegetarian status to eat something this good! I know my husband would like it. Thanks for the link to the tutorial, too.

    Happy Foodie Friday...

    XO,

  5. Tyler-I would love this, but the men in my family are another story. Last time I made beef Wellington for a special occasion, they asked me what my point was with the pastry :) It seems they prefer their meat naked! Love it on the bed of potatoes!

  6. Never even thought of trying pork...and I bet that prosciutto would put it over the top. Nice spin on a classic...

  18. I have done a few variations on this myself.
    You can make a few of them and pop them in the freezer. They make a nice gift for someone who has had a busy week too.
