1 each beef
tenderloin 5 pounds gross weight
1 tablespoon
Oil
1/2 cup
clarified butter
1 1/2 pounds
Button Mushrooms
1/2 cup dry
white wine
6 fluid ounces
liver pate
1 Sheet Puff
Pastry Sheets
1 each Egg
1 tablespoon
water
Clean the
chain, fat and silverskin from a 5 pound tenderloin. This should
produce a clean 3 pound roast. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, fold
the thin tail end under to form the tenderloin into a consistent
thickness end to end.
Roast in a
325° oven until the internal temperature at the thickest part reads
130° using a meat thermometer -- approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour
While the beef
is cooking create the mushroom duxelle
Mince the
mushrooms including the stems
Melt the
butter in a heavy skillet, add the mushrooms and cook over medium
heat. The mushrooms will become very soupy as they release their
liquid. Continue cooking, stirring now and again until all the
liquid has evaporated. This will take a while. Once all the liquid
is gone (known as sec or dry) add the wine and continue to stir
until the wine is also evaporated. Cool slightly. The mixture must
be very dry.
Increase the
oven to 425°
Spread the
liver pate over the surface of the beef and spread the duxelle over
the top.
Roll out the
puff pastry until four inches longer than the tenderloin and wide
enough to encase the tenderloin.
Place the
tenderloin onto the puff pastry, fold over the ends and roll up from
the bottom.
Place on a
baking sheet, seam down. Bake for about 20 minutes or until golden
brown..

Prunes -- whole
5 ounces Rice
5/8 bunch
Fresh Parsley
To break-down
(cut-up) a whole chicken into pieces, begin by removing any package
of inside partsfrom the bird. Rinse and drain the chicken. Place the
bird on the back with the legs pointed away from you. With a very
sharp chef knife, remove the tip and first joint of the wings. Save
these for stock. Next, turn the bird so that the legs point toward
you and slice through the skin between the legs and the body of the
bird. Pop the thigh bone out of the pelvis and cut down the side of
the body to remove the leg quarter. Place the knife at the joint
between the leg and thigh and cut though the joint. How remove the
backbone by cutting along the backbone, through the ribs until you
reach the neck area. Place the breast skin-side down (inside up) and
chop down between the breasts throug the cartiledge. Cut each breast
into two pieces -- one will have the last section of the wing
attached. This will give you 8 pieces - 2 legs, 2 thigh and 4 pieces
of breast.
Bring stock to
boil, add the raw chicken, leeks, rice and prunes. Cover and simmer
for 30 minutes.
Remove the
chicken pieces. Let cool until it can be handled. Remove and shred
the meat then return the meat to the soup. Remove the prunes and
discard.
Season with
salt and pepper.

Clean the
shrimp. Running down the back of the shrimp is the digestive track
known as the 'vein'. It is preferred that this vein is removed.
Begin by removing the shell. After the shell is removed, with a very
sharp paring knife, carefully make a shallow slice down the length
of the back to reveal the vein. Use the tip of the knife to remove
the vein and/or rinse under cold running water.
Save the
shells and chop the shrimp. Bring the water to a boil, add the
shrimp and remove from the heat. Let sit for 5 minutes, strain the
shrimp out, set aside and reserve the liquid
Heat the
butter in the pan, add the shallots; stir to coat with butter then
add the shells. Add the wine, boil and reduce by 1/2 volume
Add the
cooking liquid, then reduce by 1/2 volume
