Renny Darling's - St. Valentine's Midnight Supper
This is one of the most elegant and delicious small entrees. Serve it with small triangle toast points. If you prever, you can substitute smoked salmon for the caviar, which also produces a delicious mousseline. This version is a little lighter than my original.
1 package unflavored gelatin (about 1 tablespoon)
1/3 cup water3/4 cup low-fat sour cream
3/4 cup half and half
1/4 cup chopped chives
1/3 teaspoon dried dill weed
3 tablespoons lemon juice1 jar (3 or 3 1/2 ounces) golden caviar, or
1/4 pound smoked salmon, finely chopped
In a metal measuring cup, soften gelatin in water. Place the cup in a pan with simmering water, and stir until gelatin is dissolved. Stir together the next 5 ingredients until blended. Stir in the gelatin until blended. Gently stir in the caviar or salmon until blended.
Line a 4-cup heart-shaped mold with plastic wrap and spread mousseline evenly into the mold. Cover with another sheet of plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm.
To serve, remove plastic cover, invert mold on a serving platter and carefully peel off the plastic lining. Decorate platter with bouquets of parsley, and lemon slices sprinkled with dill. Serve with toast points.
