Beet Welllington with balsamic reduction

No, it is not a typo. This is not a Beef, but Beet Wellington. I made it for a guest, who was vegetarian. I have to admit, I liked it very much too.


Ingredients

• 4 medium-large (the same size) beetroots
• 1/2 cup cooked crushed chestnuts
• olive oil
• 1 big red onion, finely diced
• 4 garlic cloves, finely diced
• 250 g of mushrooms.diced
• salt and pepper
• 3 tsp dried rosemary
• ¼ cup white wine
• 1 egg
• 1 sheet frozen  puff pastry, defrosted
• coarse sea salt (, poppy or sesame seeds, to decorate)

Balsamic Reduction

• 120 ml / 1 cup balsamic vinegar
•  1/ 3 cup sugar 

Create

Peel beetroot and season with some oil, garlic and rosemary.
Bake in the oven at 200 Degrees C about 25 minutes. Let it cool

In the meantime prepare  a coating
Saute mushrooms and red onion, add wine and cooked crushed chestnuts. Simmer till wine has evaporated.

Put your pastry sheet on a wooden board lined with plastic foil.

Put the coating in the middle, lengthwise, leaving enough space on all sides
Put the beetroot on the coating tightly behind each other.

Brush all sides with egg wash and close.
Cut the top with a sharp knife in lines.

Now roll in plastic foil as tight as you can. Also on the side.
Put it in the fridge for about 30 minutes, to firm up. Remove plastic foil, brush with remaining egg wash and sprinkle with seeds u use.

Bake on 200 Degrees C, 20 minutes, till the pastry is nice golden color.

Serve with Balsamic Reduction

Put balsamic vinegar and sugar in a pot and let it simmer,
till it reduces and thickens to about half of the quantity you started with.
Be aware not to reduce too much as the sauce will further thicken as it cools.
