The perfect plate with Bosch

Preparing your dish - whether sweet or savoury - is essential. The outcome can really weigh in on how the dish turns out. Weighing, slicing, dicing and mixing - if not done properly can throw off the balance and texture of an entire dish.

Thankfully, the Bosch stand mixers, specifically the CreationLine, come with all of the accessories you need to master the preparation process.

This range includes models with integrated scales and a timer, and a huge collection of accessories too. You can choose models with accessories such as a meat mincer, kneading hook, blender attachment, shredding discs, grating discs, citrus press, accessory bag, beating whisk and stirring whisk!

Even notoriously difficult dishes like Beef Wellington, are made easy with this range. Processing the mushrooms and making a crisp, buttery pastry has never been easier.

With the variety of accessories, both sweet and savoury creations are so easy; and with just one appliance you can do it all - no need for multiple bowls, chopping boards, etc. Anything to save on cleaning up must be a win!

And this story continues with Bosch. Bosch's range of ovens offer a variety of innovative features to enhance your cooking experience (and eating experience). With something as precarious as a Beef Wellington (keep reading for our top notch recipe), simply transfer the dish to a Bosch oven* and watch the magic happen as the oven further enhances the cooking experience.

Difficulty: Hard

Servings: 2

Ingredients
1 kg beef tenderloin
1 tbsp pepper (freshly ground)
2 tbsp olive oil (divided)
1 shallot
10g parsley
10g thyme
10g marjoram
250g wild mushrooms (e.g. brown mushrooms, porcini, chanterelles)
50g butter
½ tsp salt

Step 1/8
Rub beef tenderloin with freshly ground pepper. Heat some olive oil in a large frying pan until hot but not smoking. Brown beef on all sides for approx. 10 - 12 min. Set aside to cool.

Step 2/8
Finely chop shallot. Pick herb leaves and chop roughly. Cut mushrooms into cubes with the CreationLine grating discs.

Step 3/8
In a large frying pan, heat butter and remaining olive oil. Add shallot and mushrooms and sauté until translucent.

Step 4/8
Deglaze with white wine. Add salt and chopped herbs. Continue to sauté for approx. 10 min. until the alcohol has evaporated. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

Step 5/8
Transfer mushroom mixture to a food processor such as the CreationLine. Blend until smooth.

Step 6/8
Lay out a large sheet of plastic wrap on a cutting board. Line up half of the bacon slices in the middle. Spread mushroom paste over bacon. Then place beef tenderloin on top. Spread the remaining mushroom paste over the beef and cover with bacon slices. Tightly wrap beef with mushroom paste and bacon by wrapping up the plastic wrap. Cool in refrigerator for approx. 30 min.

Step 7/8
Preheat oven to 180°C. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out puff pastry into a rectangle. Remove beef from the plastic wrap and place lengthwise in the middle. Wrap pastry around beef so long sides overlap. Fold in short sides and tightly seal.

Step 8/8
Transfer to a lined baking sheet seam side down. Brush with egg yolk and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for approx. 10 - 15 min. Then reduce heat to 120°C and continue to bake for approx. 10 more min. until golden. Remove from oven and allow to rest for approx. 10 min. Enjoy with a fresh salad or vegetables.
