PORK WELLINGTON

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 whole egg
1 tablespoon water
1-ounce dried apple rings
1 whole pork tenderloin, approximately 1 pound
4 1/2 ounces thinly slice prosciutto ham
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
1 sheet puff pastry, thawed completely
1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard

Steps:

  • Place a rack in the upper third of the oven and heat to 400 degrees F.
  • Whisk the egg and water in a small bowl and set aside. Place the apple rings into the bowl of a mini food processor and process for 30 to 45 seconds or until they are the size of a medium dice. Set aside.
  • Trim the pork tenderloin of any excess fat and silver skin. Slice the tenderloin down the middle lengthwise, creating 2 separate pieces. Lay the tenderloin pieces next to each other head to tail, so when laid back together they are the same size at the ends.
  • Lay out a 12 by 16-inch piece of parchment paper on the counter and arrange the pieces of prosciutto in the center, overlapping them enough to create solid layer that is as long as the tenderloin. Top with a second piece of parchment, and using a rolling pin, roll over the prosciutto to help adhere the pieces to each other. Remove the parchment paper and sprinkle the prosciutto with the salt, pepper, and thyme. Set the tenderloin down the middle of the prosciutto. Spread the dried apples in between the 2 pieces of tenderloin and push back together so the apples are held between them. Using the parchment paper to assist, wrap the prosciutto around the tenderloin to completely enclose in a package.
  • Sprinkle the counter with flour and roll out the pastry to 12 by 14 inches. Spread the mustard thinly in the center of pastry and lay the prosciutto wrapped tenderloin in the center of the pastry on the mustard. Fold the puff pastry up and over the top of the tenderloin, then roll to completely enclose, brushing the edges of the pastry with the egg wash in order to seal. Turn the tenderloin over so the side of the tenderloin with the double thickness of pastry is underneath. Pinch the ends of the pastry to seal.
  • Brush the entire pastry with the egg wash. Place the tenderloin on a parchment lined half sheet pan and bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of at least 140 degrees F.
  • Remove the tenderloin from the oven, transfer to a cooling rack and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Time 3h10m

Yield Serves 8 to 10

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 small onion, chopped (1 cup)
12 ounces mixed mushrooms, such as oyster, shiitake, and cremini, chopped (5 cups)
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
10 ounces frozen chopped spinach, thawed, drained, and squeezed dry
2 tablespoons apple-cider vinegar
2/3 cup heavy cream
2 pork tenderloins (each about 1 pound)
1 sheet frozen all-butter puff pastry, such as Dufour, thawed
Unbleached all-purpose flour, for dusting
4 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto
1 large egg
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add onion, mushrooms, and thyme; season with salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Add spinach; cook 2 minutes more. Add vinegar and 1/3 cup cream. Cook, scraping browned bits from bottom of skillet, 1 minute. Let cool completely.
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Cut a slit down length of each tenderloin, deep enough to reach center, and season with salt. Pack mushroom mixture evenly into slits, then reshape tenderloins into logs with your hands, enclosing filling as much as possible.
  • Unfold pastry on a lightly floured work surface. Roll out to an approximately 13-inch square; cut in half. Starting at one short end of each piece, score diagonal lines, 1 inch apart, with a sharp knife or pizza wheel (do not cut all the way through). Score in other direction, creating a crosshatch pattern. Transfer both doughs to a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet, scored-sides down (if they become too soft, chill briefly). Divide prosciutto evenly between doughs, overlapping to fit and leaving 1-inch borders of dough. Center a tenderloin on top of each dough, stuffed-sides down. Whisk egg with 1 teaspoon water; brush borders with egg wash. Lift long sides of each dough up and over pork, stretching slightly as necessary until edges meet; pinch edges to seal. Fold short sides up over pork and flip so seams face down. Brush all over with egg wash; cut a few 1-inch vents in tops. Refrigerate 30 minutes.
  • Bake until pastry is puffed and golden brown and a thermometer inserted into centers of pork registers 140 degrees, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer Wellingtons to a wire rack; let cool 15 minutes. Meanwhile, stir together mustard, remaining 1/3 cup cream, and 2 tablespoons water; season with salt and pepper. Slice Wellingtons into 2-inch rounds and serve with mustard sauce.

Bacon-Wrapped Pork Tenderloin with Apple Stuffing image

This small roast gets the star treatment with an apple and onion stuffing, and it's rolled up in bacon, for even more flavor. Perfect for a weeknight dinner because it bakes in about 20 minutes with a short resting time. We liked this with steamed broccoli and home fries.

Categories     Pork Tenderloin

Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon real maple syrup
1 (1 1/4 pound) pork tenderloin
salt and ground black pepper to taste
½ medium Fuji apple - peeled, cored, and cut into slices
1 tablespoon minced red onion
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
9 slices bacon

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Stir together mustard and maple syrup in a small bowl.
  • Pat pork tenderloin dry. Without cutting all the way through, slice the tenderloin lengthwise and open like a book. Spread mustard mixture evenly over the inside and outside of the tenderloin, then season with salt and pepper.
  • Place apple slices on one side of the tenderloin. Spread onions on top of the apples and sprinkle with thyme. Close the tenderloin, tucking apples and onions inside.
  • Line up bacon slices in a rectangle shape on a sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil, with each piece overlapping slightly. Place the stuffed tenderloin across the top ends of the bacon. Use the foil to lift the tenderloin and start to roll it like a jellyroll until it's completely wrapped with bacon.
  • Secure both ends of the tenderloin and each bacon slice with a wooden toothpick. Use the foil to lift the tenderloin into a 9x13-inch baking pan. Spread out the foil to protect the pan from drippings.
  • Cook in the preheated oven until slightly pink in the center, about 20 minutes, turning halfway through. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C).
  • Remove from the oven and let rest until internal temperature has risen to 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), 5 to 10 minutes.

When it comes to preparing an impressive dinner, pork wellington is always a crowd-pleaser. The classic recipe is made with a pork tenderloin wrapped in puff pastry, but adding an apple stuffing to the mix can take this dish to a whole new level of deliciousness.

The Pork Tenderloin

The star of the show is the pork tenderloin. The meat should be trimmed of any excess fat but left whole. It is then seasoned with salt and pepper and seared on all sides to form a crust, which helps to lock in the juices during the baking process. The searing should be done quickly, over high heat, leaving the center of the meat still rare, as it will continue cooking in the oven later.

The Stuffing

The apple stuffing is what makes this dish special. You can use any kind of apple, but Granny Smith is recommended for its tartness, which complements the pork. The apple is diced and sautéed with onions, garlic, and celery until softened. It is then seasoned with herbs such as thyme, rosemary, and sage, enhancing the flavors of the dish. The stuffing provides a sweet and savory surprise to the pork wellington, which makes it irresistible.

The Puff Pastry

The puff pastry is what gives the pork wellington its classic presentation. The pre-made pastry is rolled out and brushed lightly with egg wash, which helps it to stay together when wrapped around the pork. The apple stuffing should be spread generously over the pastry before placing the seared tenderloin on top of it. The pastry is then carefully wrapped around the tenderloin, making sure that there are no gaps or holes.

Baking the Pork Wellington

The wrapped pork wellington is then transferred to a baking sheet, with the seam side down, and brushed with more egg wash, giving it a golden, flaky crust. It should be placed in a preheated oven at 375°F and baked for around 35-40 minutes or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F. The baking time may vary depending on the size of the tenderloin, so it is recommended to use a meat thermometer to check the temperature.

Serving Suggestions

When the pork wellington is done, it should be allowed to rest for a few minutes before slicing. This reduces the risk of losing the juices and enables the meat to be more tender. The pork wellington is often served with a side of roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes, which complements the flavors of the dish. A glass of red wine is also a great pairing for this dinner.
Conclusion
The apple stuffed pork wellington recipe is a perfect dish for special occasions or a luxurious family dinner. The combination of sweet and savory flavors, enhanced by the flaky crust of the puff pastry, makes this dish simply irresistible. With a few simple steps, you can make this classic dish like a pro and impress your guests.

Valuable Tips When Making Apple Stuffed Pork Wellington Recipes

Pork Wellington is a classic dish that combines juicy pork tenderloin with crispy puff pastry. Adding an apple stuffing elevates this dish to a whole new level. Here are some tips to ensure your apple stuffed pork Wellington turns out perfectly.
1. Use the Right Cut of Pork
The most important ingredient of this dish is the pork tenderloin. It is a lean and tender cut of meat that cooks quickly and tastes delicious. Look for pork tenderloin that is pinkish in color, firm to the touch, and has a marbled appearance.
2. Season the Pork Well
Seasoning the pork well is crucial to ensure the flavor of the dish is balanced. A pork tenderloin can easily become bland, so it is important to season it well before cooking. Use a blend of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and herbs such as rosemary, thyme, and sage.
3. Brown the Pork First
Before wrapping the pork in puff pastry, it is important to brown it first. This not only adds flavor but also creates a barrier between the pork and the pastry, preventing any juices from leaking out and making the pastry soggy. Heat some oil in a skillet until hot and sear the pork on all sides until it is browned.
4. Chill the Pork before Wrapping
Chilling the pork before wrapping it in puff pastry will prevent the pastry from becoming soggy. Place the browned pork in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to let it cool down.
5. Choose the Right Apples
Using the right kind of apples is important to ensure the stuffing is sweet, tart, and flavorful. Granny Smith apples are the best choice as they are tart and hold up well when cooked. Avoid using overly sweet apples such as Red Delicious, as they can make the stuffing too sweet.
6. Cook the Apples First
It is important to cook the apples first before stuffing them into the pork. This will soften the apples and bring out their natural sweetness. Heat a skillet, add some butter, and sauté the apples until they become slightly soft.
7. Use Puff Pastry Sheets
Puff pastry sheets are the best choice for this dish as they are easy to use and create a flaky and crispy crust. Make sure to thaw the pastry sheets before using them and use a rolling pin to make them slightly thinner before wrapping the pork.
8. Use an Egg Wash
Using an egg wash will give the pastry a glossy and golden brown finish. Beat an egg in a bowl and brush the pastry with the egg wash before baking.
9. Let the Pork Rest after Baking
After baking the pork, let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This will help the juices to redistribute and make the pork tender and moist.
10. Serve with a Sauce
A sauce can take this dish to the next level. A red wine reduction or a fruity sauce such as cranberry or apple will complement the flavors of the pork and bring the dish together. In conclusion, making apple stuffed pork Wellington might seem intimidating, but it is a dish that will impress your guests and your taste buds. Follow these tips and you will achieve a perfect dish every time.
