[Homemade] My first attempt at Wellington

With first attempt, I feel it turned out decent. Served it with smashed potatoes.

The biggest learning experience with this is that I was rushed to cook it all together and baked. What ended up happening was because the duxelle was warm so it made the puff pastry very difficult to work with.

Next time ill just make everything the day before then assemble and bake once everything is cool.

The smashed potatoes are one of my faves. Boil in covered pot in broth until the potatoes are fully cooked. Smash them in the pan with the broth then remove. Add butter and wait for it to thicken. Because you smash the potatoes in the broth it leaves a bunch of starch in the pan to thicken it. Outside of that I add salt, pep, garlic, and finish with parsley.
