Chipotle Carrot Soup Katie Lee Recipes

CARROT WELLINGTON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• On one prepared baking sheet, toss the carrots with the olive oil, honey and some salt and pepper. Bake until fork-tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and reduce the oven temperature to 400 degrees F.
• Put the mushrooms in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the garlic and shallots and saute until fragrant and the shallots are translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook until all the water has been released and the mushrooms are browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Let cool completely. (This step can be done a day or two in advance.)
• Sprinkle a clean, flat surface with flour. Use a floured rolling pin to roll out the puff pastry to approximately a 10-by-12-inch rectangle. Use a spatula to spread the mushroom mixture onto the pastry dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Place the carrots in an even row onto the mushroom mixture, alternating big and little ends to make the layer flat. Sprinkle with the goat cheese and parsley. Use a pastry brush to coat the border of the pastry with egg wash, then roll the pastry 3 times onto itself, into a cylinder. Tuck the ends of the pastry under and pinch the ends closed with your fingers. Place on the remaining prepared baking sheet. Use the pastry brush to lightly coat the wellington in egg wash, taking care not to miss any spots. Using a paring knife, cut 4 slits down the center of the pastry.
• Bake until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before slicing.

CHIPOTLE-LIME BAKED BEANS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a saute pan over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy, about 4 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate. Add the onions and garlic to the pan with the bacon grease and cook until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• In a large bowl, combine the baked beans, onion-garlic mixture, bacon, ketchup, honey, lime juice, adobo sauce, salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly to combine. Transfer to a 2-quart baking dish. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake until slightly thickened, about another 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and top with the fried onions. Serve.
