Salmon Mouse Mousse
Ingredients:
- 4 oz cooked salmon, skin and bones removed
- 1/2 cup skimmed milk
- 1 tbl margarine, softened or low fat spread, creamed
- 1 drop red food coloring
- several cooked, shelled shrimp
- up to 1/2 cup prepared gelatin
Directions:
- Mash the cooked salmon and gradually add the milk; alternatively put the cooked salmon and the milk in a blender or food processor and process until creamy.
- Stir in the margarine or low-fat spread, add the food coloring, and beat vigorously until stiff.
- Put in a glass bowl or a mold so that the mixture fills it by three-quarters.
- Chill for 20 minutes, then decorated with the cooked shrimp, and pour on just enough heated gelatin to cover them.
- Once this layer has set, add further gelatin to taste and leave for an hour in a cool place or the fridge.
- To serve, turn the mousse out onto a plate and divide into portions.
