Did you top with pate or duxelle?
Or both?!

duxelle; the misses isn't into pate really
made dauphinoise potatoes, roasted cherry tomatoes, french beans and a beautifully rich red wine sauce to go with it.

what's duxelle?
sounds like electrical tape.

so mushroom pate then?
I made mushroom burgers for a veggie friend last weekend and they were really tasty, I was shocked. Still can't convince Wiggy to try one though.

When I was veggie a few years ago I had a veggie burger from one of the vans
and it was so awesome all my meat eating friends went down to get one as well. Minor victory!

I did both
made a glorious duxelle and beat some chicken liver and pork paté into it

the best thing was that the piece of fillet came as part of a big shipment of beef
my brother's mate slaughtered one of their cows and I got 1/24 of top quality beef for about £3 a kilo.

Having a pie made of the stewing steak tonight.
