Mustard Mousse Recipes

MUSTARD MOUSSE FOR HAM

Steps:

• Dissolve the gelatin in 2 tablespoons cold water; place in a blender with the sugar, mustard, salt, vinegar, and 1/3 cup water. Blend until smooth. Add the eggs and blend again until smooth.
• Place a mixing bowl over a pot of boiling water. Pour the mustard mixture into the bowl. Cook and stir until the thick like a custard. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely.

MUSTARD MOUSSE

Steps:

• Sprinkle the gelatin over the lemon juice and let it stand for about 5 minutes to soften.
• In a medium-size saucepan whisk the eggs and add the sugar, mustard, salt, vinegar and water. Beat until well blended.
• Add the softened gelatin mixture.
• Place the saucepan over moderate heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to thicken;do not allow the mixture to boil.
• Refrigerate until the mixture is thickened and almost set, stirring occasionally with a rubber spatula to determine thickness (the mixture should make soft mounds when scooped up and dropped from the spatula). Meanwhile, oil a 4-cup mold and set it aside.
• When the gelatin/mustard mixture has thickened, gently fold the whipped cream and parsley into the thickened mixture.
• Pour the mousse into the prepared mold, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for several hours or overnight to set. May be refrigerated up to 3 days.
• To unmold, run the tip of table knife around the edges of the mold, dip the bottom of the mold in warm water and invert onto a serving platter. I use a Tupperware mold, so it just slips right out.

• To prepare the sauce, combine the creme fraiche with the mustard until it thins out a little. Season with salt and pepper.
• To serve the dish, simply place a cookie ring on the plate. Fill the ring with the caviar mixture, and remove the ring. Place half of a lobster tail on the caviar mixture, and a lobster claw in front of it. Drizzle some mustard sauce around the food. Decorate with some algae, toast, and a sprinkle with black mustard seeds.
