not a new recipe, but i do need to put my latest refinements and updates somewhere that i remember them.
miniature freddingtons are better than a single long one. it cooks more evenly and is easier to prepare.
- i've taken to getting pre-cut filet mignon medallions (~1/2 lb each)
- for three freddingtons, i used 1/2 apple, 1 medium-large eggplant, a little garlic, and two 5.2oz bags of pre-roasted chestnuts. this provides enough duxelles without being too much or too little.
- i use six pieces of proscuitto per freddington (three across, two long)
- i use 2/3 of a puff pastry sheet, plus a little, for a freddington of this size
- IMPORTANT: put cooking spray on the rack used for baking. putting it on a wire rack, on a cookie sheet, with parchment paper helps with cleanup.
- bake it until 115°f, and it'll keep cooking up to about 135, so it'll be on the verge of medium. maaaaybe bring out a little earlier, even.
