For the Mousseline: ÿÿÿÿÿÿ
Grind the scallops and the shrimp (separately) in
a meat grinder or food processor, then cool both in
the refrigerator for 1/2 hour.

Place the scallops in a bowl with 1 egg, 1 egg
white (reserve the yolk for the salmon), salt, pepper,
and nutmeg. Put the scallop mixture in a food
processor and run for 1 minute. Slowly add cream
until blended (about 3 seconds). Do not overblend or
mixture will be buttery.

Add truffles to scallop mixture and set aside.

Place the salmon in a processor bowl with the
other egg, the reserved egg yolk, salt and pepper.
Process for 1 minute.

Butter the ramekins or molds, then spoon the
scallop mixture into them. Put the salmon mixture
into a piping tube and pump the mixture into the
center of the mold (or simply pour mixtures into the
mold.)

Place the ramekins or molds in a shallow pan
containing 1 inch of water; cover the pan with
aluminum foil pierced with small holes to allow steam
to escape. Bake in a 350 F oven for 30 minutes.

For the Sauce: ÿÿÿÿÿ

Put the shallots, vinegar, and wine into small
saucepan and cook until half of the liquid is gone.

Add cream and bring to a boil, then whip.

Add butter in small pieces and whisk over medium
heat. Remove from heat and adjust the seasonings.

For the Garnish: ÿÿÿÿÿ
Saute spinach and watercress in butter for 1
minute. On hot serving plates, arrange some of the
spinach and watercress in small circles the same size
as the ramekins or molds. Unmold the scallop-salmon
mousse onto the vegetables, top with sauce(s).

Note: You may use a combination of sauces to form
a design on the plate (American sauce, genoise sauce,
tomato sauce can be used interchangeably).
