Minced Beef Wellington Serves 2 Preparation Time: 25 mins Cooking Time: 50 mins ____________________________________________________________________

Ingredients 125g minced beef 1/2 onion, carrot, celery stick, potato 1 clove of garlic 1 field mushroom Olive oil 2 sprigs of rosemary 2 tbsp frozen peas 1/2 egg Salt & Pepper 125g puff pastry Method 1. Pre-heat the oven to 180C. Peel and finely chop the onion, carrot,

celery and potato (1cm dice). 2. Finely chop the garlic and roughly chop the mushroom. Heat 1 tbsp

of olive oil in a frying pan and then add the veg. 3. Finely chop the rosemary leaves and them to the frying pan too. Fry

for about 10 minutes until softened. Then add the frozen peas and cook for another minute. Let it all cool in a bowl.

4. Crack the egg and beat it with a fork. 5. Add the minced beef to the veg with some seasoning and half the

egg. Mix. 6. Roll out the puff pastry into a rectangle. Place the mixture along

one long edge and mould it into an even, long, sausage shape. 7. Brush the edges of the pastry with a little beaten egg, then roll the

mince up in the pastry until it is completely covered. Squeeze the ends together, so it looks like a christmas cracker.

8. Dust your baking tray with flour and place the Wellington on top. Brush all over with the rest of the beaten egg. Bake in the pre-heated oven for 45-50 minutes until golden brown. Serve in slices.
