Maille Dijon mustard; more for serving 1 pork tenderloin (about 1 lb.) 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed 4 oz. thinly sliced prosciutto 1 large egg, beaten

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the fennel, apple, and red pepper flakes and season lightly with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, until deeply golden, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in the mustard, and let cool completely.

Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

On a lightly floured surface, roll the puff pastry to a rectangle roughly 15x12 inches, with the long end facing you. Spread the fennel mixture in an even layer over the pastry, leaving a 1-inch border. Brush the bor- der with the beaten egg. Shingle the prosciutto over the fennel to cover so that it is slightly overlapping, about 4 slices per row. Season the pork tenderloin lightly with salt and pepper, place it along the bottom edge of the pastry, and fold 1 to 2 inches of the tapered end toward the thicker end to make for a more even roast. Hold the roast to secure, and roll the pastry and tenderloin away from you, using a bench scraper if necessary to help facilitate rolling. Turn the roll seam side up. Brush the overhanging dough with egg; then fold the overhang up toward the seam and press gen- tly to seal. Place the Wellington on the prepared baking sheet, seam side down. Refrigerate the roast for at least 30 minutes.

Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 425°F.

Brush with the egg, and using a sharp paring knife, cut 4 to 5 incisions along the top of the pastry to vent. Transfer to the oven and bake, rotating halfway through, until the pastry is golden and the roast regis- ters 140°F to 145°F, in the center, about 35 minutes.

Remove the roast from the oven and transfer to a cooling rack. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving with additional mustard on the side. —Fine Cooking for Maille sea scallops with brussels sprouts and mustard Brussels sprouts have a slightly crunchy texture and a subtly sweet flavor that complements scallops.
