INSTRUCTIONS
In a food processor with a metal blade, puree the scallops with the egg white, salt, white pepper, and nutmeg. Transfer the puree to a metal bowl and chill, covered, for 1 hour. In a saucepan, blanch the green beans in boiling salted water to cover, for 6 minutes. Drain. Toss the beans with 1 Tbsp butter, season them with salt and white pepper to taste and reserve. Set the bowl of puree in a larger bowl of ice water. Beat in 1 cup of creme fraiche, 1/4 cup at a time, until it is incorporated and the mousse is fluffy. Fold in the green beans and spoon the mousse into a buttered 1-qt. terrine. Place terrine in a baking pan and add enough hot water to reach 2/3 the way up the side of the terrine. Bake, covered with a buttered sheet of wax paper and the lid or a double layer of foil, in a preheated 375f oven for 45 minutes. Remove terrine from pan, remove lid and paper, and let cool for at least 30 minutes. Cut into 6 slices and arrange slices in a buttered gratin dish just large enought to hold them in one layer. Spread some of the remaining butter lightly over each slice and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake in a preheated 400f oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are hot and puffed slightly. In a saucepan, combine the tomato coulis and the remaining creme fraiche. Heat the sauce over moderate heat, stirring, until it is heated through. Serve alongside the terrine in a boat/ a 1978 Gourmet Mag. favorite
A Message from our Provider:
“Our hopelessness and our helplessness are no barrier to (God’s) work. Indeed our utter incapacity is often the prop He delights to use for His next act… We are facing one of the principles of Yahweh’s modus operandi. When His people are without strength, without resources, without hope, without human gimmicks – then He loves to stretch forth His hand from heaven. Once we see where God often begins we will understand how we may be encouraged. #Ralph Davis”
