CREAMY TROUT MOUSSE

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 3 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Appetizers Seafood

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 Trouts (6 oz ea. cleaned) *
1 Whole egg
1 Egg white
1/4 pt Olive or sunflower oil
5 tb Creamy yoghurt
1 t Dijon mustard
1 1/4 ts Gelatine powder (or more)
Fresh parsley & tarragon
1/2 Cucumber
Caster sugar
Tarragon vinegar

*Note: In lieu of fresh trout, 1/2 lb cooked and
flaked fish may be used. Serves 6 as an appetizer, or
3 as a light lunch.

If using fresh trout, poach them in the oven at 350 F
(180 C) gas mark 4 for 30 minutes, then cool, skin,
bone and flake - there should be about 8 ounces of
cooked flesh.

Separate the egg and use the yolk to make mayonnaise:
season it with salt and pepper, gradually beat in the
oil, then 1 teaspoon or so of vinegar to thin and
flavour the sauce.

Put the prepared fish into a food processor. Add the
mustard, yoghurt and 1 heaped teaspoon each fresh
chopped tarragon and parsley, and whizz to a perfectly
smooth puree. Soak the gelatine (more may be
necessary in hot weather) in 3 tablespoons cold water,
let it soften and swell, then dissolve over low heat.
Cool for a minute or two before adding the liquid
gelatine to the fish puree: pour it on in a thin
stream while the machine is running. Carefully and
gradually beat the fish puree into the mayonnaise.
Quickly whisk the egg whites to snowy peaks and fold
them into the fish puree. Taste and adjust the
seasoning. Divide the mixture between 6 ramekins or 3
small souffle dishes. Cover and chill for 2-3 hours
until set to a soft cream.

Seed the cucumber but do not peel. Chop it finely,
sprinkle it with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and caster
sugar and 1/2 teaspoon tarragon vinegar, and set aside
for a couple of hours to draw out some of the cucumber
juices. Drain and pat dry. Top each mousse
immediately before serving with a small spoonful of
the cucumber - a good crunchy contrast to the soft
textured mousse - and garnish with a tarragon leaf.
Oatcakes that have been gently warmed in the oven go
well with this dish.
