Pork tenderloin Wellington
INGREDIENTS
(serves 6)
- 1 pork tenderloin (about 600 g)

- 250 g mushrooms
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 egg yolk

INSTRUCTIONS
- Clean the mushrooms and chop them finely. Sauté in a pan with a drizzle of olive oil and the garlic for about 10 minutes, until dry and golden. Let cool.

- Roll out the puff pastry on a board. Place the slices of prosciutto crudo slightly overlapping in the center.
- Spread the mushrooms evenly over the prosciutto.
- Place the tenderloin on top, then wrap everything tightly with the help of the pastry, sealing the edges well.
- Transfer the wrapped tenderloin to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, seam side down.
- Brush the surface with beaten egg yolk.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (390°F) for about 35–40 minutes, or until golden and puffed.

- Serve in thick slices while still warm.
