If you’ve ever had beef wellington, you know that it is one of the more delicious dishes that uses all the “common” ingredients of a typical kitchen.  Jamie Oliver’s Beef Wellington goes above and beyond.  Whenever I make it, everyone who eats it can’t get enough.  Try it and you won’t be disappointed.  :) Ground Beef Wellington (by Jamie Oliver, Food Revolution pg. 156) Ingredients: 1 medium onion 1 carrot 1 celery stalk 1 potato 2 cloves of garlic 2 portobello mushrooms olive oil 4 sprigs of fresh rosemary (modified: I only use 2) a big handful of frozen peas 1 large egg 1 pound ground beef sea salt and pepper all-purpose flour 2 sheets puff pastry (Modified: I only use 1) Directions: Preheat oven to 350 F. Peel/chop onion, carrot, celery, and potato into 1/4-inch dices finely grate garlic Clean and roughly chop mushrooms, about the same size of other veggies Put all veggies into large frying pan on medium low heat with 2 lugs of olive oil Pick rosemary leaves, finely chop, and add to pan. Fry and stir for 8 mins, until veggies are lightly colored Add frozen peas and cook for another minute Put vegetable mixture into a large bowl to cool completely (Tip: I usually put this bowl into the fridge to speed it up a bit) Crack the egg into a cup and beat it up Add ground beef to the veggie mixture with a good pinch of salt and pepper and half the beaten egg Using your hands, scrunch and mix well. Assembling: Lightly dust a clean work surface Roll out the pastry into a 12x16 rectangle, don’t overwork the dough Place ground beef mixture along the edge, lengthwise Mold into an even, long sausage shape Brush edges of pastry with a little beaten egg Roll the ground beef up in the pastry until you have a Christmas cracker Squeeze ends together and brush the remaining egg all over the Wellington Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour Serve: Slice it up Serve with Cherry Tomato, Caper, and Balsamic Sauce Enjoy!!  :D
