MUSHROOM WELLINGTON WITH CREAMY CARROT SAUCE
We took inspiration from an important part of traditional beef Wellington, the duxelles (a paste of finely chopped mushrooms, shallots and herbs cooked in butter), and made a hearty filling for a satisfying, low-fat vegetarian version. Serve this impressive main course with the bright carrot sauce, which gets its creaminess from just a touch of cream cheese. (Don't be afraid to use full-fat cheeses--a little can go a long way!)

Steps:
- For the Wellington: Remove the stems and gills of the Portobello mushrooms, and discard. Cut each mushroom cap in half, then cut the halves into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
- Heat the oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots, and cook, stirring frequently, until soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the Portobello slices, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds pepper, and cook, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms have started to soften and wilt, about 4 minutes. Add the shiitakes, thyme, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper, and cook, stirring frequently, until the shiitakes have started to soften and wilt, about 3 minutes. Pour in the wine, bring to a simmer and stir until most of the liquid has evaporated, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat, and let cool completely. Stir in 1 tablespoon of the breadcrumbs. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
- Position an oven rack in the center of the oven, and preheat to 400 degrees F. Roll the puff pastry out on a floured sheet of parchment paper to a 13-inch square. Brush the surface of the pastry with the mustard, and sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon breadcrumbs.
- Leaving a 1-inch border on the right and left sides of the pastry, pile the mushroom filling onto the center, and pack it into a log about 3 inches wide. Fold the bottom half of the pastry over the filling, then roll it up so the bundle sits seam-side down. If any filling falls out while rolling, just push it back inside. Pinch together the open ends to seal, and crimp with a fork. The log should be about 12 inches long. Transfer the Wellington, on the parchment, to a baking sheet. Brush generously all over with the egg. Cut decorative slits down the length of the Wellington. Sprinkle with sea salt and pepper. Bake until golden brown and bubbly, 40 to 45 minutes. Let rest for a few minutes.
- For the carrot sauce: While the Wellington is baking, combine 2 cups water, carrots, garlic, bay leaf and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small saucepan. Bring to a high simmer, and cook until the carrots are very tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove the bay leaf, and transfer all the liquid and solids to a blender. Blend until completely smooth. Add the cream cheese, vinegar and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and blend until smooth again. (The sauce can be made, cooled and refrigerated up to 1 day ahead; reheat before serving.) Transfer the sauce to a serving vessel.
- For the salad: Toss the frisee with the oil and vinegar, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper.
- Arrange the Wellington and salad on a platter. Slice the Wellington into 6 even pieces, and serve with the salad and carrot sauce.

Tips:
- To make the perfect carrot Wellington, choose carrots that are firm and straight. Avoid carrots that are too thick or thin, as they will not cook evenly.
- Peel the carrots carefully, making sure not to remove too much of the flesh. The skin of the carrot adds flavor and texture to the dish.
- When roasting the carrots, be sure to drizzle them with olive oil and season them with salt and pepper. This will help them to caramelize and develop a delicious flavor.
- If you are using a store-bought puff pastry, be sure to thaw it completely before using it. Puff pastry that is not thawed properly will not rise properly in the oven.
- When wrapping the carrots in the puff pastry, be sure to tuck the edges of the pastry under the carrots. This will help to prevent the pastry from coming undone during baking.
- Bake the carrot Wellington until the pastry is golden brown and the carrots are tender. This will take about 30 minutes.
- Serve the carrot Wellington warm with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular dipping sauces include honey mustard, horseradish sauce, and ranch dressing.
Conclusion:
Carrot Wellington is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its combination of sweet carrots, flaky puff pastry, and savory herbs, carrot Wellington is sure to impress your guests.
