Caviar Mousse


submitted by Charlotte from Norther New Mexico
Ingredients
  • 1 envelope unflavored gelatin
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 cup sour cream ( I use 2 cups)
  • 2 tablespoon mayonnaise (I use 1/2 cup)
  • 2 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoon grated onion
  • 1/4 teaspoon sugar
  • 4 oz caviar (red lumpfish )
  • dash of salt & white pepper
  • parsley sprigs
  • green onions, chopped
  • toast rounds or unsalted crackers (Melba toast or Rye Rounds work great)
  • Cucumber slices( Leave skin on & score the length with a fork & thin slice)

Sprinkle gelatin over water and let stand until softened, in a small sauce pan, then heat over low heat, and stir constantly until gelatin melts, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and add sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, onion, & sugar , blending well. Place caviar in strainer and rinse carefully with cold water. Shake strainer to remove excess water. Reserve 1 tablespoon caviar. Add remaining caviar to sour cream mixture, stirring gently. Season to taste with salt and white pepper. Turn into greased 2-cup mold or into 8 to 10 small individual molds and chill until firm, about 3 to 4 hours. Unmold on serving plate. Place about 6 tablespoons sour cream on top of large mold or 1 tablespoon on each individual mold. Place some of reserved caviar &chopped green onions on top of sour cream. Surround with parsley and accompany with toast rounds and cucumber slices.
