INSTRUCTIONS
MOUSSELINE
SAUCE
GARNISH
For the Mousseline:
===================
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:
==============
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:
================
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).
