                         -----STUFFING-----
      1/2   lb           Mushrooms
      1/2   md           Onion
    2       tb           Butter
                         Salt and pepper to taste
    4       oz           Canned foie gras pate
                         -----MEAT-----
    1       tb           Oil
    1 1/2   lb           Beef tenderloin
                         Salt and pepper to taste
                         -----WELLINGTON-----
    1       lb           Frozen puff pastry
 
   STUFFING: Puree the mushrooms and onions together in a food processor. Melt
   the butter in a skillet over medium heat, add the mushroom and onion
   mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is dry. Add salt
   and pepper to taste and mash in the pate. Transfer the stuffing to a bowl
   and chill in the refrigerator.
   MEAT: Heat the oil in a skillet over high heat. Add the beef and sear on
   all sides. Remove the beef from the skillet and sprinkle with salt and
   pepper. Place in the refrigerator until cold.
   ASSEMBLE THE WELLINGTON: Roll out chilled puff pastry into a rectangle
   large enough to enclose the beef. Spread the dough with a generous layer of
   stuffing, place the beef on top and spoon another bit of stuffing on the
   beef. Wrap the pastry to enclose the beef and stuffing and place the
   Wellington in the refrigerator to chill for at least 15 minutes.
   COOK THE WELLINGTON: Preheat oven to 425F. Place Wellington in oven and
   immediately lower heat to 350F. Roast for about 20 minutes.
