INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup sour cream 1/2 cup mayonnaise 2 tablespoons drained bottled horseradish 1 pound lump crabmeat, picked free of shell 1 cup dry bread crumbs 3 scallions including green tops, chopped 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper 3 tablespoons cooking oil 1 pinch cayenne pepper
DIRECTIONS
In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, 1/4 cup of the mayonnaise, and the horseradish. In a large bowl, combine the crabmeat, the remaining 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup of the bread crumbs, the scallions, parsley, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Shape the crab mixture into eight patties. Coat the patties with the remaining 3/4 cup bread crumbs and pat off the excess. In a large nonstick frying pan, heat the oil over moderate heat. Working in batches if necessary, fry the cakes until golden brown and crisp, about 2 minutes. Turn and fry until golden brown on the other side, about 2 minutes longer. Drain on paper towels. Serve with the horseradish cream. FISH ALTERNATIVES There’s really no substitute for sweet fresh crabmeat#but for a completely different taste, you could use one pound of cod, cooked and flaked. WINE RECOMMENDATION: A full-bodied white such as a chardonnay from California will be delightful with the crab. Try to find one that isn’t too oaky#just full of the taste of ripe fruit.

SERVES 06 Servings
TIME_HH_MM 03:00
NOTES
The enduring popularity of this dish#a fillet of beef tenderloin coated with pâté de foie gras and a duxelles of mushrooms that are then all wrapped in puff pastry#is legendary. It has remained a favorite in Britain and the U.S. for over a century ever since it was created to honor the Duke of Wellington, a hero of the Napoleonic Wars
INGREDIENTS
1 3 1/2-pound fillet of beef, tied with thin sheets of larding fat at room temperature 3/4 pound mushrooms, finely chopped 3 tablespoons unsalted butter Salt and pepper, to taste 1/2 pound pâté de foie gras (available at specialty foods shops), room temperature 1 pound thawed puff pastry, plus additional for garnish 1 large egg white, beaten 1 large egg yolk, beaten with 1 teaspoon of water for egg wash 1/2 cup Madeira 2 teaspoons arrowroot, dissolved in 1 teaspoon cold water 1/2 cup beef broth 2 tablespoons finely chopped black truffles (available at specialty food shops) 1 bunch watercress
DIRECTIONS
Method 1. In a roasting pan, roast fillet in the middle of a preheated 400°F (200°C) oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until a thermometer registers 120°F (50°C). Let the fillet cool completely and discard larding fat and strings. Skim the fat from the pan juices and reserve juices. 2. In a heavy skillet, cook the mushrooms in the butter over moderately low heat, stirring until all the liquid is evaporated and the mixture is dry; season with salt and pepper and let cool completely. 3. Spread the fillet evenly with the pâté de foie gras, covering the top and sides; spread the mushrooms evenly over the pâté de foie gras. Set aside. 4. On a floured surface, roll 1 pound of the puff pastry into a rectangle large enough to enclose the fillet completely, about 20 by 12 inches. 5. Invert the coated fillet carefully onto middle of the dough and fold up the long sides of the dough to enclose the fillet. Brush the dough’s edges with the egg white to seal. Repeat with the ends of dough. 6. Transfer the fillet, seam side down, to a jelly roll pan or a shallow roasting pan and brush with some of the egg wash. Roll out the additional dough and cut shapes with decorative cutters. Arrange the cutouts on top, brush with the remaining egg wash and chill for at least 1 hour, but no more than 2 hours. 7. Bake the fillet in the middle of a preheated 400°F (200°C) oven for 30 minutes, reduce the heat to 350°F (180°C) and bake for 5 to 10 minutes more or until a meat thermometer registers 130°F (55°C) for medium-rare. Remove and let stand for 15 minutes. 8. In saucepan, boil the reserved pan juices and Madeira until the mixture is reduced by one quarter. Add the arrowroot mixture, beef broth, truffles and salt and pepper to taste. Cook over moderate heat, stirring (being careful not to boil) for 5 minutes or until thickened. 9. Loosen the fillet from jelly roll pan, transfer with two spatulas to a heated platter and garnish with watercress. To serve, cut the fillet into 3/4-inch-thick slices, dress with the sauce.
