Pork Fillet Wellington

Pork Fillet Wellington recipe

There’s an offer on British Pork at the local Supermarket at the moment. So a whole Pork Fillet cost a little over £2. We had a few bits & Bobs in the fridge which needed using up including some Polish Paté. So here’s our take on Pork Fillet Wellington.

Ingredients:-

A whole Pork Fillet
200g of Mushroom Paté
100g of sliced Chorizo
4 Medium Mushrooms, chopped
½ a Red Onion, chopped finely
Puff Pasty (Gluten free Just Roll here – Lazy I know!)
Oil to fry
Salt & Pepper
1 Egg beaten for an Egg wash

Method:-

(1) Sauté the Onion in a frying pan with a little Oil and add the Mushrooms.
(2) Set aside to cool.
(3) Sear the Fillet on all side to brown slightly and set aside.
(4) When both are cool spread the Pastry out on a board cover in kitchen parchment.
(5) layer the Chorizo over the Pastry allowing space on all side so you can stick the Pastry parcel together.
(6) Spread the Paté over the Chorizo in a generous layer.
(7) Spread the Sautéed Mushrooms and Onion over the Paté in an even layer.
(8) Place the Fillet in the middle of the Pastry and lifting one edge of the Pastry roll to make a cylindrical parcel.
(9) Fold the ends of the parcel in and seal all the edges with Egg wash.
(10) Pre heat the oven to 180c.
(11) Brush all the visible Pastry with Egg wash.
(12) Use the parchment to lift the parcel onto an oven tray.
(13) Place in the oven and cook for 30 minutes until the pastry is browned.
(14) Remove from the oven and allow to rest for a further 10 minutes. The Fillet will continue to slowly cook.
(15) With a sharp knife slice diagonally into thick slices and plate up.

We served ours with a Red Wine Jus, made with a Red Wine Stock Pot and seasonal vegetables. Quite a treat and well within budget as it lasted us for two meals.

Portuguese Prego Rollo recipe, eat well on universal credit

That’s 2 x £2.49 Rump Steaks from B&M given a really good beating and seasoned! Although they are supposedly 21 day aged, we’ve found them to be very variable in the past. Sometimes cut alone the grain of the meat and sometimes banded with what I used to call ‘Trim’ in the butchers, gristle! But on this occasion we struck gold!

Ingredients:-

2 Rump Steaks. Cut into two, trimmed and hammered with a meat hammer
2 Tsp of Peri-Peri seasoning Rub
3 Tbsp of Tomato Puree
1 Lemon, juiced
2 Tbsp of White Wine Vinegar
2 Cloves of Garlic, minced
2 Tbsp of Olive Oil
1 Tsp of Sugar
1 Tsp of Salt
1 Bay Leaf
4 Bread Rolls (Gluten free for us)
1 Large Tomato, sliced
1 Red Chilli, finely chopped
3 Tbsp of Margarine
4 Tsp of Chilli Chutney (Sue’s creation)
4 Tsp of Mayonnaise
Oil to fry

Method:-

(1) That you frustration out of the Steak. Beat it to death with a meat hammer!
(2) Cut into suitable sized pieces to fit in your bun.
(3) Rub the Steak with a little Oil on all sides and then rub with the Peri-Peri seasoning Rub.
(4) Make up the marinade with the Lemon Juice, Olive Oil, Sugar, Salt, Garlic, Tomato Puree, Bay Leaf and White Wine Vinegar.
(5) Pour over the Steak and place in the fridge, covered, for 2 hours.
(6) Remove the Bat Leaf.
(7) Heat Oil in a frying pan to a high heat and flash fry the Steak for 2 minutes on each side. Ours was still rare in the middle.
(8) Remove and allow to rest.
(9) Toast the buns lightly on the cut sides.
(10) Combine the Margarine and chopped Chilli, spreading over the toasted buns.
(11) Return to the grill cut side up so the the Margarine melts into the Buns.
(12) Assemble the ‘Burger’ with Mayonnaise, Steak, Red Onions, Tomato slices and Chilli Chutney.

We simply served ours with hand cut chips. This flavour combination really packs a punch! Enjoy….
