HEDGEHOG MUSHROOM RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Boil the potatoes: Add the potatoes to a medium pot with the cream, garlic, butter and some kosher salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and gently simmer until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork, about 25 minutes.
• Cook the chateaubriand: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Let the beef rest at room temperature for 15 minutes, then season with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over high heat until it shimmers, about 2 minutes. Set the meat in the pan and sear it on all sides until browned, about 8 minutes total. Reduce the heat to low and add 2 tablespoons of the butter, the mushrooms, garlic and the thyme. Transfer the skillet to the oven and cook the roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 125 to 130 degrees F., 6 to 8 minutes for medium-rare. Remove the skillet from the oven, transfer the roast to a cutting board, loosely tent with foil and let it rest for 10 minutes.
• Make the red wine reduction: Transfer the mushrooms to a bowl and pour off all but 1 tablespoon of the fat from the pan (discard the garlic and thyme). Set the skillet over medium-high heat, add the shallot and red wine, and cook, stirring to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan, until the pan is almost dry, about 2 minutes. Add the broth and cream, bring to a boil, and simmer until the sauce thickens, 3 to 5 minutes. Return the mushrooms to the pan, adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, if needed.
• Make the pomme puree: Place a colander over a large bowl. Pour the hot potatoes into the colander. Shake the potatoes to drain off the excess liquid. Press the potatoes through a ricer (or mash them with a fork for a chunkier texture) and into a medium bowl, occasionally clearing the sides of the ricer with a spoon. Pour the reserved and still-hot cream over the potatoes in small increments, folding in to combine, until you get your desired consistency. Season with olive oil and a sprinkle of sea salt and serve immediately, or keep warm in a covered oven-safe casserole dish in a 250 degree F. oven.
• To serve, remove the twine from the roast and slice the roast crosswise into 2 equal portions. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Spoon the potato puree onto 2 warm plates. Place a slice of chateaubriand on each plate and spoon the red wine-mushroom reduction over the top. Garnish with fresh thyme leaves and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Season tenderloin with Essence. Heat a large saute pan over high heat, add the oil and sear meat well on all sides. Transfer meat to a roasting rack set in a roasting pan and roast 15 minutes for medium-rare. Meanwhile "turn" vegetables, cutting them into even-sized pieces shaped like footballs. Cook vegetables separately in small pots of salted water just until tender, drain and cool.
• Transfer meat to a carving board, tent with foil to keep warm and let rest at least 10 minutes. Remove rack from roasting pan, place pan over medium high heat and pour in stock to deglaze. Bring to a boil, scraping bottom of pan to incorporate any browned bits into sauce. Simmer and adjust seasonings, to taste. Add vegetables to stock to reheat. Slice meat in thin slices. To serve, present meat in "shingles", surround with vegetables and ladle sauce over.
• Combine all ingredients thoroughly and store in an airtight jar or container.
