Chicken mousse
225 g cooked chicken breast, ground
225 ml chicken broth
3 egg yolks
1 tbsp gelatine
½ tsp salt
300 ml cream, whipped
100 ml mayonnaise (recipe page 115)
1 pinch paprika
½ tsp pepper
Soak gelatine for 5 minutes in ½ cup cold broth. Beat egg yolks and stir lightly into the remainder of the broth. Add seasoning and cook in a double boiler until thickened to custard consistency. Dissolve softened gelatine in broth and egg mixture. Pour this over chicken and stir over iced water until mousse begins to set. Fold in whipped cream and mayonnaise. Rinse mould in cold water and pour mixture into it. Refrigerate to set. Serve cold garnished with parsley or lettuce.
