I will post recipes when I get back for the Bearnaise and Baklava

Beef Wellington

About 3 LB roast (I used tenderloin and you can use the size you want )
Sea salt
Fresh ground pepper
2 tbs butter
olive oil

Duxelles (stuffing to spread on Puff pastry)

8 ounce container of Portabella Mushrooms chop fine
6-8 strips cooked bacon chopped fine
4 cloves Garlic chopped fine
2 shallots chopped fine
1/2 small onion chopped fine
Fresh thyme
Kosher salt
pepper
Sage
1 egg beaten

Package of puff pastry thawed

Heat up skillet and add butter and olive oil to coat
season meat with salt and pepper and braise just enough on each side to seal the meat and make a crust ..put on plate and refrigerate until cooled down.

In same skillet add mushrooms cook until softened and add all other ingredients except egg and cook until soft ..spread out on a plate and refrigerate

Preheat oven to 425

take Duxells mixture and spread out over pastry evenly brush some egg over mixture. Place roast on top of mixture and fold over the dough to cover entire roast

Put roast seam side down in baking pan that has been buttered . Slice small slits on top to allow juices to escape. Brush entire roast with remaining Egg.

Bake for about 40 Minutes or until roast reaches about 125 Let rest before slicing

I served with Bearnaise homemade YUMM

there are a bunch of us going over your pics. i'm in awe. starving now also! i wanna eat at your house.(pouting)

love, that's not food, it's filler. we'll have to think of some cheap and nutritious recipes.

If you cook those and add a can of cream of chicken soup, it is pretty good for a quick/cheap meal.

Whole Stuffed Camel

Not a joke, this is an actual recipe. My kids went to a Bedouin camp exhibit and everyone got a copy of this recipes(although not everyone got a taste). My translation into English. Who knows, next time you want to have a "different" type of barbeque, why not go for it?

[link to www.food.com]

Ingredients:

1 whole camel, medium size
1 whole lamb, large size
20 whole chicken, medium size
60 eggs
12 kg rice
2 kg pine nuts
2 kg almonds
1 kg pistachio nut
110 gallons water
5 lbs black pepper
salt

Directions:
See link...

this could come in handy for someone.

We're big fans of fresh vegies in my house. This is the "official" recipe but we change things here and there. I use fresh diced tomatoes, a little tomato sauce, and water as opposed to canned tomatoes. If you want though you can always go with frozen mixed vegies if you'd prefer.

we usually eat this on a small bed of red beans and rice but its also great alone. The chops come out sooo tender.


Garden Pork Chops
6 Pork Chops,
1 large clove garlic, minced
1/2 tsp oregano
2 tsp salt
1 Tbs olive oil
1/2 Tbs vinegar
1 medium onion, diced
1 15 oz can diced tomatoes
2 medium carrots, peeled and diced
1/2 lb fresh green beans, ends trimmed and chopped
1 large ear of corn, shucked


Rinse and clean pork chops. Dry with paper towels and set aside.
Combine garlic, oregano, salt, olive oil and vinegar in a mortar and pestle. Mash until well combined. Pour garlic mixture over pork chops and toss until all chops are well coated on both sides.
Heat a heavy deep skillet or dutch oven over medium-high heat. Working in batches, brown the chops.
After the chops have been browned, place all the chops back into the skillet. Pour tomatoes with their juices and onions over the top. Bring to a simmer, lower heat, cover and cook for 25 minutes. Add carrots and cook, covered, for an additional 5 minutes. Add corn and green beans and cook covered for 10 minutes. Then remove the lid and cook, uncovered, for a final 10 minutes.
Serve pork chops hot with vegetables over top.

My grandmother used to make this and I loved it. She would make it on holidays and we kids would get yelled at for eating it to fast. Hers had pistachio nuts in it and unfortunatly the recipe died with her. I think I will try a batch of this and make half with pistachios to see if I can get some of grandma back.

You may substitute any fish :) Even crab cakes!

Awesome, I will try it. You must love to cook too.
