Mustard Mousse Recipes

POACHED LOBSTER WITH CAVIAR MOUSSE AND DIJON MUSTARD SAUCE

Steps:

• To make the caviar mousse, mix the mustard and the whipped cream gently together until smooth. Add the finely chopped shallots, and season with salt and pepper. Gently fold in the caviar without breaking the eggs. Set aside.
• 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.

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.
