Description

RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT

  • Mixing bowl
  • Hand mixer (or stand mixer)
  • Cling film
  • Cheese grater
  • Baking tin 20×20 cm (8×8 inch)

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 250 grams butter
  • 100 grams sugar
  • 350 grams sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 150 grams cherry jam

Instructions

  1. Line a baking tin with baking paper.
  2. Place the soft (not liquid) butter, sugar and salt in a mixing bowl. Mix with a hand mixer or stand mixer for approx. 3 minutes until creamy. Add the flour and mix until the butter is coated in flour. Then knead with your hands until smooth.
  3. Wrap the dough in a layer of cling film and shape into a square. Place the dough in the freezer for approx. 1 hour.
  4. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Now grate half the dough into flakes using a cheese grater. Put the other half back in the freezer.
  5. Spread the flakes evenly in a baking dish. Use very little pressure to spread the flakes in the tin. DO NOT press them down. Now spread the cherry jam evenly over the flakes.
  6. Now take the second half of the dough out of the freezer and grate it into flakes using the cheese grater and spread it evenly over the jam. Again, only spread the flakes with very light fingers and do not press down.
  7. Bake for approx. 15 to 20 minutes at 180°C (350°F) or until the shortbread is light golden but not brown. It is best to take them out of the oven when they are lightly golden, as they will bake a little longer anyway. Leave the shortbreads to cool and cut into strips.

You know that feeling when a dish just makes the meal? This fruity, tangy, and slightly spiced sauce does exactly that. Whether you’re hosting a big holiday gathering, elevating a simple roast dinner, or looking for the perfect pairing for your appetizers, this recipe is your go-to for adding a pop of flavor and elegance to any plate. It’s absolutely divine with my Fingerfood Beef Wellington, bringing out those rich, savory notes, and pairs beautifully with my Cranberry Orange Glazed Pork Roast for a show-stopping main course. It’s classic, cozy, and totally irresistible, making every bite feel festive and full of love. Bonus? It’s ridiculously easy to whip up.

Pair this zesty goodness with roasted meats like turkey, pork, or ham for a perfect balance of sweet and savory. It’s also a surprising win drizzled over creamy brie or slathered on a crusty sandwich. Looking for a quick appetizer? Serve it with crackers, a wedge of sharp cheese, and nuts for a crowd-pleasing snack board. It’s versatile enough to go beyond holiday feasts – any time you want a hit of bold, fruity flavor, this sauce has you covered.

Keep it fresh by storing it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can also freeze it for up to three months – just thaw in the fridge overnight when needed.

RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT
  • sharp knife
  • chopping board
  • peeler
  • grater
  • small pot
  • measuring cup
  • juicer (or by hand)

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 lemon
  • 1 orange
  • 200 milliliter port wine
  • 1 shallot
  • 3/4 tsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tsp dijon mustard
  • 100 grams fresh cranberries
  • 200 grams redcurrant jelly
  • salt & finely grated black pepper

Instructions

  1. Thoroughly wash and dry the lemon and orange. Peel 3–4 strips from each using a peeler, then slice the peels into fine julienne strips. Juice the orange, aiming for about 100 ml (3 fl. oz.) of juice.
  2. In a small saucepan, bring water to a boil and simmer the julienne strips for 5 minutes to soften and reduce their bitterness. Drain and set aside.
  3. Finely dice the shallot and grate the ginger directly into the saucepan. Add the port wine, orange juice, mustard, and cranberries. Bring everything to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, lower the heat and simmer for about 15 minutes, until the cranberries soften and the liquid reduces.
  4. Next, stir in the redcurrant jelly and continue simmering for another 6–7 minutes, or until the sauce thickens. Season with salt and finely ground pepper to taste.
  5. Finally, fold the julienne strips into the sauce and let it cool. The sauce will thicken further as it cools and can be reheated anytime for serving.

The combination of crisp apple, refreshing cucumber, creamy Brie, and lean turkey not only makes it delicious but also ensures you get essential nutrients. Easy to assemble and perfect for a flavorful energy boost.

Take your event to the next level with these mini beef wellingtons, as a symphony of flavors unfolds with every bite, seamlessly blending mushrooms, Parma ham and a touch of Dijon mustard. This exquisite combination offers a sophisticated taste sensation in each delicious, finger-friendly parcel – perfect for adding a touch of gourmet flair to your party or event.

These beef bites can be enjoyed on their own or with my spicy Cumberland sauce for an extra festive kick. With their delicious flavors, these canapés will enhance your Christmas party and are an irresistible and perfect addition to your festive table.

To ensure optimum freshness, keep Beef Wellington wrapped in plastic wrap, beeswax cloths, aluminum foil or an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. If you plan to store them for longer, freeze them in an airtight container, making sure to separate the layers with parchment paper. When you’re ready to enjoy the Wellingtons, reheat them in the oven to keep the batter crispy. Defrost frozen Wellingtons in the fridge before reheating to ensure they retain their delicious texture.

RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT

  • sharp knife
  • chopping board
  • food processor if necessary
  • small bowl
  • small pan
  • kitchen basting brush

Ingredients

Units Scale
MUSHROOM FILLING
  • 1 shallot
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 180 grams mushrooms
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley
  • 3 tbsp port wine (or any other red wine)
  • salt
  • pepper
INDIVIDUAL INGREDIENTS
  • 1 store-bought puff pastry
  • 200 grams beef fillet
  • 100 grams prosciutto di parma
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp dijon mustard
  • 1 egg
  • salt
  • pepper

Instructions

  1. Cut the mushrooms and shallot into very small pieces or pulse briefly in a food processor. Finely chop the parsley. Cut the puff pastry into 16 equal squares and tear the Prosciutto di Parma into 16 pieces. Crack an egg into a bowl and whisk it.
  2. Start by heating a large pan over medium heat and add the chopped mushrooms without any fat. Let them cook until all the water has evaporated and they start to brown slightly. This step keeps them from turning mushy later. Once they’re lightly browned, add a tablespoon of butter and stir. Add the chopped shallot and fry together until the shallots are soft. Deglaze the pan with three tablespoons of red wine and let it reduce for about 5–8 minutes until no liquid remains on the bottom. Stir in the chopped parsley, dried thyme, and season with salt and pepper. Remove the pan from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
  3. While the mushroom mixture cools, heat another pan with one tablespoon of butter and quickly sear the beef fillet on all sides so that it’s browned on the outside but still raw inside. Take it out of the pan, let it rest briefly, and cut it into 16 equal pieces.
  4. Now assemble the parcels: place a piece of Prosciutto on each puff pastry square, leaving a small border around the edges. Spoon about half a teaspoon of the mushroom mixture onto each piece of ham, then place a piece of beef on top. Brush the beef with a little mustard, then roll up the pastry and seal the edges well.
  5. Place all the pieces on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and put them in the fridge while you preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F). When the oven is ready, take them out, make a few diagonal cuts on top of each piece, and brush with the beaten egg.
  6. Bake for about 10 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and crisp. If the beef pieces are very thin, they might not stay medium in the center but they’ll still be incredibly tender and melt in your mouth. Serve warm, ideally with Cumberland sauce.
