Last year, I attempted a recipe for ground beef wellingtons. I took a whole day to make the dough, cook the beef, then combine the two and make what ended up resembling ground beef dumplings. This week, I plan to make the real thing, beef wellington, from scratch. Yup, I'ma go skin a cow brb.
For anyone who doesn't know what a wellington is (although, Chef Ramsey uses it on his cooking shows quite a bit), it's a slab of meat encased in puff pastry. Well, puff pastry is $4 in a box from the store, and I figure I could take a go at it and make an adventure of it. The recipe I'll be using for the pastry comes from the Allrecipes website, as does the recipe for the beef wellingtons. The latter calls for sherry, which I'm planning on substituting with some kind of fruity white wine. Whatever wine happens to be cheapest at the moment .
But all that's happening later this week.
Tonight for dinner we will have calzones. YAY! H. and I like pretty much the same pizza toppings, so we'll just roll that into the calzones - pepperoni, mozzarella cheese, colby jack cheese, roasted mushroom slices, and sliced olives. Most of these things we have on hand, surprisingly.
We do need to roll out to Costco and pick up a few things, but that's fine with me. Someone say "samples"?
