Baked cod with potatoes # Ingredients and servings: 5/6 people -1 600/700 gr salted cod fillet - 3/4 potatoes - 7 cherry tomatoes - 1.5 onions - 1 fresh or dried hot chili pepper -1 glass of dry white wine - oregano - extra virgin olive oil. DO THIS:Desalt the cod in cold water for at least 48 hours, changing the water three times a day. I do this: I rinse it thoroughly, then place it in a covered container and place it in the refrigerator. I then change the water in the morning, midday, and evening, and continue doing so for two days. Then it's ready to cook.Try to remove all the bones, using tweezers if possible, and then cut the cod into slices. Peel the potatoes, cut them into rounds about half a centimeter thick, and place them in a pan, preferably earthenware and not too large (I used one with a diameter of about 22 cm), after having previously poured a tablespoon of oil. Form a first layer using half of the potato rounds. Then, on top of the potatoes, arrange half of the chopped cherry tomatoes, half of the onion cut into thin rounds, the chili pepper cut in half, a pinch of oregano, and a little oil (don't add salt because cod, even desalted, is usually quite salty).Now arrange the cod slices so that they cover the layer of potatoes, and on top of the cod, arrange the remaining potato rounds to form a final layer. Finish with the remaining chopped cherry tomatoes, the remaining sliced ​​onion, oregano, and oil. Pour the wine down the sides of the pan and cook, covered, initially over very low heat for about five minutes, then in the oven at 180°C (350°F) for about half an hour, with the last ten minutes left uncovered. The important thing is to never touch or turn the cod or potatoes, which must cook without being moved. The potatoes should be tender and the liquid should be evaporated.

Fingers of the Apostles # ingredients and doses -Ingredients for 10 people: For the crespelle: 1 egg - 1 level spoonful of sugar - a pinch of salt - 80 gr 0 flour - 20 gr rice flour - 100 ml milk; 200 ml fresh cream - 1 sachet of vanillin. For the cream: 350 gr sheep ricotta cheese; 200 ml fresh cream - 8 teaspoons sugar - pinch of vanillin. To define: icing sugar and cinnamon powder.DO THIS - First drain the ricotta cheese, even the night before, so that it is well dried. Prepare the crespelle, mixing all the ingredients well until a homogeneous mixture is obtained. Cook them, over a very moderate flame, in a 22 cm diameter pan glazed with butter. You must be careful when cooking because the crepes should turn out white. As they are ready, arrange them on a plate, alternating with sheets of baking paper, which is useful to prevent them from sticking together, but will also serve as a guide for wrapping the cannoli.Once this is done, devote yourself to the cream. Knead the ricotta with 4 teaspoons of sugar until smooth. Whip the cream with the remaining sugar and vanillin. Add the ricotta, using a spatula, with slow but firm movements from the bottom to the top. You are now ready to assemble all the ingredients.Place one crespella at a time on the board and, with a piping bag without nozzle, fill it halfway up. Now roll it up to form a cylinder. Wrap it in the baking paper on which you have placed it. When you have made all your ‘fingers’, place them in the freezer for at least three hours.Before serving, make sections of the cylinder by making oblique cuts. Place the ‘fingers’ in a serving dish and sprinkle them with icing sugar and cinnamon.

Pandolce Genovês # ingredientes e doses - 85 gr de manteiga amolecida - 105 gr de açúcar - 1 ovo - 300 gr de farinha + 10 gr de fermento (ou 310 gr de farinha com fermento) - 1 pitada de sal - 230 gr de sultanas - 75 gr de casca de laranja cristalizada - 75 gr de cidra cristalizada - 15 gr de pinhões - 80 gr de leite - 6 gotas de aroma de rum - 6 gotas de aroma de limão - 1 pedacinho de baunilha. Não encontrei cidra cristalizada e casca de laranja separadamente, então usei 150 gr de frutas cristalizadas mistas. Amasse a manteiga e o açúcar até ficarem cremosos e sem grumos, acrescente os aromatizantes, a baunilha e o sal, adicione o ovo e misture bem, sem bater os ovos. Acrescente a farinha peneirada com o fermento em pó e o leite, continue a amassar até que a massa fique compacta e quebradiça (como uma massa quebradiça), mas não exagere, é importante não amassar a massa por muito tempo. Misture as sultanas, as frutas cristalizadas e os pinhões em uma tigela para remover os caroços e criar uma mistura bem distribuída. Se estiver usando a KitchenAid, você pode facilmente dobrar a quantidade e usar a batedeira para amassar tudo. Modele a massa em um disco de cerca de 3,5 cm de espessura, pressionando levemente com uma espátula de plástico para formar formas de diamante na superfície. Coloque na geladeira por cerca de 15 minutos e, em seguida, asse em forno preaquecido a 180 graus por cerca de 40 minutos. Se, em vez de um único pandolce, dividir a massa em 2 ou até 3 partes e assar os pandolcini de uma só vez, reduza o tempo de cozimento em cerca de 5 minutos. Assim que sair do forno, a massa estará muito macia; deixe-a esfriar para obter a consistência correta. Meu marido diz que o pandolce não deve ser cortado com uma faca, mas quebrado com as mãos, caso contrário, ele se esfarelará todo e não quebrará

Apfelkrapfen # Zutaten für 4 Personen _ 3/4 schmackhafte Äpfel (ich habe Fuji Äpfel verwendet, die sehr duftend sind und einen süß-sauren Geschmack haben. Sie eignen sich auch gut zum Kochen, weil sie fest und kompakt bleiben) -Zucker, Rum und Zitronensaft (zum Abschmecken).>Für den Teig: 125 g gesiebtes Mehl -1 Glas Weißwein (bis die richtige Dichte erreicht ist, das nächste Mal werde ich genau messen) -2 Esslöffel geschmolzene Butter -10 g Salz - ein Spritzer Grappa -2 Eier -Bratfett (oder Erdnussöl). Zum Servieren> Zimtpulver -Zucker .TUN - In einer großen Schüssel einen Teig aus Mehl und Weißwein zubereiten, Butter, Salz, Grappa und Eigelb hinzufügen (das Eiweiß beiseite stellen). An einem warmen Ort 1-2 Stunden ruhen lassen (ich habe die Schüssel mit dem Deckel abgedeckt und in eine Decke eingewickelt). Die Äpfel schälen, entkernen und in fingerdicke Scheiben schneiden. Die Äpfel in eine flache Schale legen und mit dem Zucker, dem Rum und dem Zitronensaft beträufeln. Unter dem Gewicht eines anderen Tellers eine halbe Stunde lang ruhen lassen. Die Äpfel trocken tupfen. Das Eiweiß zu steifem Schnee schlagen (auch etwas weniger) und langsam in den Teig einarbeiten. Ich fange damit an, nur ein wenig Eiweiß unter Rühren hinzuzufügen, um die Masse weicher zu machen, und füge dann den Rest nach und nach und vorsichtig hinzu. Reichlich Öl in einer zum Braten geeigneten Pfanne erhitzen (ca. 180°C). Jede einzelne Apfelscheibe (mein Apfel war asymmetrisch!) in den Teig tauchen und goldbraun frittieren. Abtropfen lassen und auf Papiertüchern abtropfen lassen. Heiß oder warm servieren und die Pfannkuchen mit Zucker und Zimt bestreuen. Sie schmecken auch mit Vanillesoße. ( Tedesco , frittelle di mele ).

Cuocere per altri 3 / 4 minuti e servire immediatamente. Sono una valida alternativa al riso per servire i curry vegetali.

Once the marinade is ready, pour the chicken alone into a preheated non-stick frying pan and let it cook to perfection. In the meantime we prepare the sauce, remembering that when using spices they should always be sautéed in oil. So we put the oil in a non-stick frying pan or casserole dish, together with the spice powder and garlic and fry for a few minutes, then add the onion and once fried add the ginger (if using fresh ginger) and also the pepper cut into strips that are not too thin and not too long. Amalgamate the ingredients well and at this point pour in the tomato pulp, stir and cover with a lid for about ten minutes, until the peppers are soft. At the end of the cooking time and with the cooker off, add the yoghurt which will give consistency and body to the sauce, taste and adjust the salt if necessary. Pour the sauce we have prepared over the chicken still in the pan, leave it for about ten minutes so that the chicken soaks and then sprinkle with fresh coriander, serve with pita and Bombay potatoes (with spices and mustard seeds).

Clean the salted anchovies, strip them of their bones, wash them, soak them in cold water for 1/4 hour and then chop them up and set them aside in a small bowl.Peel the potatoes, wash them and dice them.Lightly fry the chopped parsley and garlic in oil in an earthenware pot (if possible, as it cooks better and more evenly) over a low heat, then add the cuttlefish and fry and season, stirring with a wooden spoon, add the white wine, allow it to evaporate and then add the tomato extract previously diluted in a little hot water, season with salt and cook for 20 minutes over a low heat with the lid on, stirring occasionally.Then add the chopped potatoes and, when they are half cooked, add the peas. Finish cooking (about 40 minutes in total) and, once the heat is off, add the chopped anchovy and the remaining parsley.Stir well and serve with the accompaniment of toasted bread rubbed with garlic. If the buridda congeals too much during cooking, add hot water, as there must be sauce in this dish. Anchovies are usually added to the chopped parsley and garlic in the classic recipe.

Pasta (linguine ) with mussels and yellow cherry tomato cream # ingredients and servings -220g linguine -1kg mussels -1 piece of mullet roe to grate -250 of yellow cherry tomatoes -4 cloves of garlic -Extra virgin olive oil -Salt .METHOD-To begin, clean the four cloves of garlic. Grate the small piece of roe. Clean the mussels well by removing the string and scraping the shells with a knife or a stainless steel mesh sponge.Pour a drizzle of oil into a frying pan with two cloves of garlic. When the garlic sizzles, add the cherry tomatoes.For the mussels, pour oil into a fairly large pan with two cloves of garlic. Again, when the garlic is nice and sizzling, add the mussels, cover the pot with the lid and let it cook over medium heat.As soon as the mussels are open, remove the pot from the heat, separate the mussels from the water they have released, then strain the water through a fine-mesh strainer. Keep the broth next to the pan while the cherry tomatoes are cooking. Add the water from the mussels to the sauce to keep the tomatoes from burning until they are cooked through-this will also serve to give the sauce more flavor. Taste the sauce to see if there is a need to add salt, as the mussel water may be more or less salty.When the sauce is ready, remove the pan from the flame and let the sauce cool.Separate the mussels from the shells, perhaps leaving only 2 or 3 each to decorate the dish. When the sauce is warm, add the shelled mussels to the pan.For the pasta, add water to the same pot that holds the mussel water. When the water is boiling, add slightly less salt than usual, as the water may already be slightly salty from the mussel sauce.Now toss in the pasta.While the pasta is cooking, take a short break: drink a glass of white wine and devote yourself to the sauce in the pan. Add almost all the grated roe to the pan sauce (about 80% is fine, the rest we will add directly on the plates at the table), be careful: do this with the heat off, otherwise the roe will cook and form large lumps. Stir the contents of the pan with a wooden spoon until a creamy sauce is created.Drain the pasta al dente and pour it into the pan. Add 3-4 tablespoons of the pasta cooking water. Mix everything well with the wooden spoon, or toss the pasta in the pan.Last, add the mussels with the shells to decorate the dish. Add the leftover roe as a sprinkle and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil as a finishing touch.


Pasta (linguine ) con cozze e crema di pomodorini gialli # ingredienti e dosi -220 gr di linguine -1kg di cozze -1 pezzo di bottarga di muggine da grattugiare -250  di pomodorini gialli - 4 spicchi di aglio -Olio extravergine di oliva -Sale .METHOD-Per cominciare, pulite i quattro spicchi di aglio. Grattugiate il pezzetto di bottarga. Pulite bene le cozze togliendo il filo e grattando i gusci con un coltello o con una spugnetta con maglie in acciaio inox.Versate un filo di olio in padella con due spicchi d'aglio. Quando l'aglio sfrigola, aggiungete i pomodorini.Per le cozze, versate olio in una pentola abbastanza grande con due spicchi di aglio. Anche qui, quando l'aglio è bello sfrigolante, aggiungete le cozze, coprite la pentola con il coperchio e lasciate cuocere a fuoco medio.Non appena le cozze saranno aperte, togliete la pentola dal fuoco, separate le cozze dall'acqua che hanno rilasciato, quindi filtrate l'acqua con un colino a maglie strette. Tenete il brodino accanto alla padella mentre i pomodorini stanno cuocendo. Aggiungete l'acqua delle cozze al sugo per non far bruciare i pomodori finché non siano cotti a puntino: questo servirà anche a dare più sapore al sugo. Assaggiate il sugo per verificare se c'è bisogno di aggiungere sale, in quanto l'acqua delle cozze può essere più o meno salata.Quando il sugo è pronto, togliete la padella dalla fiamma e lasciate che il sugo si intiepidisca.Separate le cozze dai gusci, magari lasciandone solo 2 o 3 a testa per decorare il piatto. Quando il sugo è tiepido, aggiungete le cozze sgusciate in padella.Per la pasta, aggiungete acqua nella stessa pentola che contiene l'acqua delle cozze. Quando l'acqua è in ebollizione, aggiungete una quantità di sale leggermente inferiore rispetto al solito, poiché l'acqua potrebbe essere già leggermente salata per via del sugo delle cozze.Ora buttate la pasta.Durante la cottura della pasta fate una piccola pausa: bevete un bicchiere di vino bianco e dedicatevi al sugo in padella. Aggiungete quasi tutta la bottarga grattugiata al sugo in padella (circa l'80% va bene, il resto lo aggiungeremo direttamente sui piatti in tavola), attenzione: fatelo a fuoco spento, altrimenti la bottarga si cuoce e forma dei grossi grumi. Girate il contenuto della padella con un cucchiaio di legno fino a creare un sugo cremoso.Scolate la pasta al dente e versatela in padella. Aggiungete 3/4 cucchiai dell'acqua di cottura della pasta. Amalgamate tutto per bene con il cucchiaio di legno, oppure saltate la pasta in padella., per ultimo aggiungete le cozze coi gusci per decorare il piatto. Aggiungete la bottarga avanzata a mo' di spolverata e un filo d'olio extravergine di oliva come tocco finale.





Pasta fresca Orecchiette senza uovo ( Puglia ) # ingredienti e dosi -300 gr di semola di grano duro rimacinata (oppure 200 gr di semola+100 gr di farina 0) -120 gr di acqua -Pizzico di sale .METHOD-Impastare la semola con l’acqua fino ad ottenere una palla. Stendere un “serpentino” spesso quanto un mignolo e tagliarlo in piccoli pezzi da un cm circa. Arrotondarli leggermente e con il pollice schiacciare ogni pallina scivolando dal bordo inferiore verso quello superiore,cioè dal basso verso l’alto.Otterrete così uno strascinato che se messo a rovescio con l’uso dell’indice, assumerà la concavità tipica dell’orecchietta. E’una pasta un po’ spessa che va tuffata in acqua bollente e salata e richiede almeno 15 minuti di cottura.Ottime con cima di rapa,broccoli,fave,sugo di pomodoro e basilico, gratinate al forno…Per i piccolini fare piccolissime palline e stendere delle orecchiette o semplicemente degli strascinati molto sottili premendo di più e più a lungo ogni singola pallina.

Pasta alla carbonara # ingredienti e dosi -350/400 gr di spaghetti-100 gr di guanciale-100 gr formaggio di pecorino -4 uova;sale e pepe q.b.METHOD- il primo passaggio consiste nella cottura della pasta. La pasta ( or spaghetti )  dovranno essere immersi in acqua bollente già salata, senza spezzarli. Il livello di cottura dovrà essere controllato più volte, poiché per una carbonara che si rispetti è necessario che la pasta sia al dente.Mentre si attende la cottura degli spaghetti, si raccolgono in una ciotola i tuorli delle quattro uova. Si aggiunge il pecorino grattugiato, il sale, un mestolo di acqua di cottura della pasta e si mescola con attenzione, fino a ottenere un composto omogeneo e cremoso. Nel frattempo, si taglia il guanciale in striscioline (or piccoli rettangoli) , dopo lo si fà rosolare in pentola, senza l’aggiunta di nessun altro ingrediente. Il grasso rilasciato dal guanciale potrà essere recuperato nel composto a base di uova e pecorino.Scolata la pasta, si versano gli spaghetti nella ciotola con l’uovo e il pecorino, poiché la lavorazione dovrà avvenire a freddo. Si aggiunge quindi il guanciale rosolato e croccante e si serve, eventualmente aggiungendo un pizzico di pepe, se gradito.


Pasta alla carbonara # ingredients and doses -350/400 gr spaghetti-100 gr guanciale-100 gr pecorino cheese-4 eggs;salt and pepper to taste.METHOD- the first step is to cook the pasta. The pasta ( or spaghetti ) will have to be immersed in already salted boiling water, without breaking it. The level of cooking will have to be checked several times, as a self-respecting carbonara requires that the pasta be al dente.While waiting for the spaghetti to cook, the yolks of the four eggs are collected in a bowl. Add the grated pecorino cheese, salt, and a ladleful of the pasta cooking water and mix carefully until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Meanwhile, you cut the guanciale into strips (or small rectangles) , then brown it in the pot, without the addition of any other ingredients. The fat released from the guanciale can be recovered in the egg and pecorino mixture.After draining the pasta, you pour the spaghetti into the bowl with the egg and pecorino, since the processing will have to be done cold. The browned and crispy guanciale is then added and served, adding a pinch of pepper if desired.

Aggiungere il pepe verde ed il cognac. Se vi piace una cottura al sangue appena è evaporato l’alcol togliete il petto dal fuoco, tagliatelo a fettine e tenetelo al caldo. Se lo preferite più cotto aggiungete acqua calda finchè dalla carne non uscirà più del liquido rossiccio. Quindi tagliare il petto e tenerlo in caldo. Aggiungere al sughetto della panna liquida (la mia non lo era, infatti la salsina è venuta più densa) e lasciar bollire qualche minuto. Servire le fettine di petto irrorate con il sughetto.

    Braciole napoletana # ingredienti e dosi - 8 thin slices of beef (see Notes) -  generous handful of fresh parsley -1 clove of garlic -  small chunk of pork fat or a spoonful of lard - Provolone, caciocavallo or pecorino cheese, q.b. -  few raisins, soaked until soft -  few pinoli nuts - Salt and pepper

    Optional>8 slices of prosciutto# For the sauce1 onion, finely chopped - 1 clove of garlic - Lard or olive oil - splash of red wine - 500 gr (16 oz.) of passata di pomodoro or puréed canned tomatoes - Salt and pepper .FATE  COSI ( METHOD) .Take your beef slices and pound them between two sheets of wax paper until they are very thin.Mash up the garlic, the chopped parsley with a generous pinch of salt and a grind or two of pepper, with a mortar and pestle until you have a thick paste. (In the absence of a mortar and pestle, you can just chop them all up together with a knife or mezzaluna.)Lay out the beef slices on a clean surface and slather some of the garlic and parsley paste on each slice. Then add the provolone or caciocavallo (cut into little cubes) or the pecorino (grated), followed by a few raisins and pinoli nuts.Roll up the beef slices as tightly as you can. To keep them closed during cooking, you should tie them at each end with kitchen string into little bundles (as pictured) or skewer them with toothpicks.Melt some lard (or heat some olive oil) in a sauté pan, then add the braciole and brown them lightly.Add the onion and garlic, and season everything with salt and pepper. Simmer gently, covered, until the onion is very soft, turning the braciole from time to time. Add a bit of water if need be to prevent the onion from browning.Uncover the pan, turn up the heat and add the red wine. Let the wine cook off, turning the braciole from time to time so they color evenly in the wine.Now add the tomato, mixing it well with the soffritto. Turn down the heat again, cover the pan and let it all simmer very gently for a good hour or more, until the meat is tender and the sauce dark and well reduced. Add some water if the sauce is getting too thick before the meat is done.To serve, remove the string (if using) and lay the braciole, either home-style—whole with a spoonful of sauce on top—or, for a more elegant presentation, as picture above—sliced, over a ‘bed’ of sauce. Keep the rest of the sauce to dress pasta, perhaps as a primo at the same meal.****consil du chefAdrianoMennillo-Thin beef slices of the kind you want for this dish can be hard to find in the US outside Italian neighborhoods. But some supermarkets sell “sandwich steaks” that you can use for the purpose. And Korean supermarkets sell thinly sliced beef for barbecue that will do very well, too. If you have a friendly butcher, he should also be able to cut you some slices to order. If all else fails, you can always buy a cut of beef and slice them yourself with a large, sharp knife. (Freezing the meat a bit will make the job easier.) The classic cut is natica di manzo, or beef buttock, better known in the US, as the round (either top or bottom will do). The cut is usually quite lean, but if you can find a piece with some marbling in it, all the better.

    Zeppole San Giuseppe (fried) # ingredients and doses _ 300 gr of water, 270 gr of flour, 90 gr of butter, 6 eggs (even 5 if you use giant ones), 1 teaspoon of salt, grated lemon. For custard >400 gr of milk, 3 egg yolks, 50 gr of flour, 130 gr of sugar, grated lemon, sour cherries in syrup (not candied). METHOD-In a saucepan, pour the water with the pieces of butter, the salt and the sugar, bring to the boil and pour the sifted flour in one go, stir quickly with a wooden spoon and spread the dough on the sides of the saucepan to dry it (always with the fire lit). It is important to let the dough dry well, so that it can absorb all the eggs without becoming too soft. Let the cooked pasta cool down, put it in a planetary mixer or in a robot and add one egg at a time, work with the K whisk, beating the mixture well, until all the eggs are used up. At the end of the processing, the pasta must be firm and compact , like a solid custard, and more consistent than that for baked cream puffs, otherwise it tends to absorb too much oil. Put the dough in a Sac à pochè with a large spit nozzle, squeeze forming donuts of the desired size, on squares of parchment paper. At the same time pour the zeppole into a large pan with deep, hot but not boiling oil, as soon as they come off, remove the squares of paper. After a minute turn them and let them swell, turn them again and raise the heat to brown them. Remove them from the oil and let them dry on home paper. For the second series of donuts, add a little oil to cool the oil and fry other donuts, then raise the heat again halfway through cooking. I use this system to avoid frying with 2 pots which is a bit annoying, the result is good. Never fry, initially, with too hot oil, otherwise the donuts will not they swell well and are undercooked inside. I use peanut or corn oil for frying. Another way to eliminate excess oil is to put them in the oven, with casa nuova paper underneath, at 80° for 5 minutes, then leave them until the paper has absorbed most of the oil. Prepare the cream, put it in a sac à poche and squeeze it onto the donuts, add the black cherries and sprinkle with icing sugar.

    200 gr breadcrumbs - 100 gr grated Parmesan cheese -
    1 bunch of basil - 1/2 cup of flour salt to taste. -
    seed oil for frying -Do THIS >>In a large saucepan, brown the clove of garlic (which you will then remove) in extra virgin olive oil and prepare a simple sauce with peeled tomatoes or - if you prefer - passata.In a bowl put the ground meat, egg, breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese, mix all the ingredients and make small patties.

    Rabbit all'Ischitana _ ( original recipe from Ischia-Napoli ) # ingredients and doses : 1 rabbit of about 1,500 kg - about 150 gr. ripe cherry tomatoes - parsley (or basil) - white wine - 1.5 dl of olive oil - chilli pepper, salt, pepper, garlic .METHOD-Cut the rabbit into pieces, wash it with wine and dry it with a dry cloth. Brown the whole garlic and chilli pepper in a pan (preferably terracotta) with the oil. When the time comes, remove both from the oil and set aside. Brown the rabbit in the same pan (one of the secrets for a good preparation is to brown a few pieces at a time, so as to keep the oil always hot). When it is well browned, put all the pieces together in the pan, add (if you want) garlic and chilli previously set aside, sprinkle with a glass of white wine, add salt and pepper, and cook over moderate heat for about 30 minutes. turning from time to time and possibly adding a little broth (or other wine) if the wine has already evaporated. Add the chopped tomatoes and deprived of their water and plenty of parsley. Leave to simmer for another 20 minutes, turning from time to time, until the cooking liquid has thickened. Cooking times obviously vary according to the meat of the animal and the pan used. If you believe that the dish requires longer cooking, you can use broth or a little water to add to the sauce. A little curiosity: it seems that one of the little secrets of this dish lies in making it "pull" during cooking until almost to make it "stick", to then lengthen the cooking liquid a little for a few minutes before turning off the flame to give body to the sauce.

    Filetto  alla Wellington #  1 kg beef fillet -100 ml olive oil - 300 gr brown mushrooms  - 60/70  gr butter -1 sprig rosemary - 1 sprig thyme - 100 ml  chardonnay wine -12 slices thinly sliced bacon -12 slices thinly sliced ham -500 gr puff pastry, thawed -Handful of flour, for dusting - 2 egg yolks - 1 teaspoon cream.FATE COSI _Start by cleaning the beef fillet by removing all the sinew and excess fat from its outside surface.Place the beef fillet on a roasting tray and brush it with a tablespoon of olive oil and season with pepper and salt. Place in the oven and grill in the oven at 200°C for 15 minutes for a medium-rare fillet or 20 minutes for a medium fillet.  When the beef is cooked, remove it from the oven and set it aside to cool, once cool, place the fillet in the fridge to chill for about 20 mins.Slice the mushrooms as finely as possible until they resemble breadcrumbs.Melt the butter with 2 tbsp of the olive oil in a pan and fry the mushrooms on a medium heat.

Place the ham on top of the bacon in a similar pattern.Spread half the mushrooms over the bacon and ham, then place the fillet on top and spread the remaining mushrooms over the fillet. Use the plastic edges to pull the bacon around the fillet, then roll it into a pipe or roll shape. In the end it should resemble a large sausage. Chill the roll in the fridge.Dust a flat surface with the flour. Roll out a third of the 500 gR of puff pastry to a 18 x 30cm strip and place on a non-stick baking tray which you’ve sprayed with Spray & Cook.

Beat the 2 egg yolks with 1 teaspoon cream and brush the pastry’s edges, and the top and sides of the fillet.Using a rolling pin, carefully lift and roll out the larger piece of pastry over the fillet, pressing firmly into the sides. Trim the sides of the pastry. Seal the edges with the edge of a fork. Brush the top of the pastry all over with more egg wash and, using the back of a knife, mark the beef Wellington with long diagonal lines taking care not to cut too deep into the pastry.Chill for at least 30 mins in the fridge or overnight for the next day.Heat oven to 200°C.
