Drescription

A sophisticated dish where fish fillets are wrapped in puff pastry with spinach and creamy filling, then baked to golden perfection. An elegant twist on a classic Wellington.

Ingredients

  • 1 (1 pound) fillet cod 1/4 cup butter
  • 2 tablespoons chopped onion 2 3/4 cups fresh mushrooms, chopped
  • salt and black pepper to taste
  • 4 1/2 ounces smoked salmon pate 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed 1 egg, beaten

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Slice cod fillet in half horizontally to yield 2 thin slices; set aside.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Stir in onion and mushrooms, and cook until softened, 3-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper; set aside to cool slightly.
  3. In a medium bowl, blend the pate and cream. Mix in onions and mushrooms.
  4. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pastry to make 12x14 inch rectangle. Place 1 slice of the cod fillet in the center of the rectangle. Spread with 1/2 the pate mixture and layer with the other piece of fillet. Spread remaining pate mixture on top. Fold pastry edges over the filling towards the center, and seal with egg. Brush pastry on all sides with egg.
  5. Bake 25 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown. Serve warm.

Hatch Chiles Rellenos

Hatch chiles stand out for their balanced sweet heat that takes on a subtle smokiness and buttery quality once roasted. Here, recipe developer Paige Grandjean (whose aunt married into the Franzoy family, who first commercialized Hatch chiles in the early 1900s) uses the roasted chiles to make Hatch chiles rellenos, oozing with asadero cheese. Whipped egg whites give the simple batter a delicate structure; it fries up golden brown and airy, encasing the flavorful Hatch chiles. Fold the egg whites into the batter just before frying to keep it nice and fluffy. Try this with Grandjean's quick and easy homemade red chile sauce.
