Notes
As with it's close cousin Beef Wellington, this Cast Iron Skillet Pork Wellington is just a nice elegant dish. Instead of preparing a duxelles to stuff the meat with, we elected to saute the mushrooms with some onion and andouille sausage to give it a bit of bite. A bit of rice and oven roasted asparagus rounds out the meal.
