Beef Wellington…
-
Yeah, I’m pushing myself this year. Rather than our traditional tenderloin, I decided to try and kick it up a notch. Running into two primary questions, though…
-
Wegmans is out of Foie Gras, will a general duck liver mousse work as well for this?
-
Dough work is not my forte… Would a store bought puff pastry work okay?

Definitely high maintenance cooking
But when it works, it’s a dream.
Lots of recipes online. I think gordon Ramsey one gets the most play
I did what this website suggests to solve the “sogginess” problem

Two doughs. Phyllo and Puff.
And yes no problem buying supermarket doughs. The recipe is hard enough to get right as it is. No sense in adding more angst to it.

Lol, that's the exact
recipeinstructions that I am looking at. When I am trying something new, I typically look to J. Kenji Lopez-Alt first... -

- Don't know. Not my kind of thing.
- Yes, the store puff pastry should work fine. I would bet most fancy restaurants use premade puff, too.
