It's a bit like a white sauce but using breadcrumbs instead of flour. It usually has an onion, peppercorns, bay leaf, and maybe a bit of nutmeg in it too, but these are removed before serving.

Gorgeous! This is much better looking than any other Wellington I've ever seen. Scoring the puff pastry added an elegant effect.

It took the labors of the 3 of us to create this .. However, it merited magnificance ! Came out amazingly stunning .. The interior came out perfectly rare .. Challenging however, I must say that each one of us, truly gave heart and soul to this Wellington (Beef).
Thank you for the lovely compliment ..
All our best wishes for a wonderful Christmas holiday season ..

@Francesca thank you..Yes it's a very delicious recipe...from my Dad cook's book with Apulian recipes
Merry Xmas to you too..
Purple sprouts! They didn't really stay purple but are a darker green when cooked than regular sprouts. The insides had a purple tinge. They were really delicious. Incredibly 'nutty'.

it is one of the best bits of a traditional English Christmas dinner. Love it. I would happily eat homemade bread sauce and stuffing for Christmas lunch.
Stick cloves in an onion so it looks like a sea mine! Add that to a saucepan of milk (or vegan alternative!) And add a bayleaf and some peppercorns. Warm the milk so it gets the flavour of the onion etc. Add white breadcrumbs and simmer and stir until you get a thickish sauce. Serve with roast chicken/turkey. Yum

As requested, here's my Cheddar Cheese Tater Tot Recipe. The above look is what happens when you don't press the frayed bit of shredded potato together: some of the ends burn a bit, but they're still crispy and delicious!

Today I did a venison wellington, hassleback potatoes, roast carrots and parsnips, gravy, braised red cabbage with sprouts. Starter was retro prawn cocktail and pud was Christmas pudding, mince pies and profiteroles. Then cheese.
Supper was cold meat sandwiches with some of my home made curried apple and green tomato chutney.

Wise lady. I admit I do buy the packet mixes during the year but I should really get in the habit of freezing the last slice or two of a loaf for sauce/stuffing
