Recipe - Beef En Croute

3 pound Beef tenderloin roast
2 cup Chopped walnuts
4 Cloves garlic
3 pack Frozen chopped spinach
thawed and
; drained
2 cup Parsley
2 cup Basil leaves
1 cup Italian bread crumbs
One fourth cup Honey
1 teaspoon Ground cumin
1 teaspoon Ground coriander
2 tablespoon Olive oil
1 Sheet thawed puff pastry
1 Lightly beaten egg
Salt and pepper

Directions: In a food processor, chop the walnuts until finely
ground. Add the garlic, spinach, parsley, basil, bread crumbs, honey,
cumin and coriander. Pulse until mixture is smooth. Trim the beef
tenderloin of excess fat. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet and
brown the tenderloin on all sides. On a lightly floured surface, roll
out the pastry dough to a large rectangle about 1/4" thick. Spread
half of the filling down the center of the pastry. Place the browned
tenderloin on top. Spread the remaining filling on top of the meat.
Brush the edges of the dough with the egg wash and fold the dough
over the meat. Wrap like a package. Transfer to a cookie sheet and
brush with remaining egg wash. Bake at 400 degrees for 45 minutes
until pastry is golden. The beef should register 120 degrees on a
meat thermometer for medium rare. Let the beef rest for 30 minutes
before slicing.
