RECIPE #3
Salmon and shrimp terrine
A delicious terrine that's not only suitable for Christmas, but also for entertaining friends.
Preparation time: 25 minutes
Cooking time : 15 minutes
Number of people : 4 person(s)
Ingredients:
400 g fresh salmon
500 g smoked salmon in nice slices
3 egg yolks
500 g thick creme fraiche
8 sheets gelatine
1 small courgette
Pepper
Salt
2 tablespoons port or cognac
30 cooked and peeled pink prawns.
Recipe:
Put the crème fraîche, the fresh salmon cut into cubes, the gelatine sheets soaked in cold water for a few minutes and then squeezed out, salt, pepper and possibly the chosen alcohol in a saucepan. Boil the whole thing for 15 minutes.
Add the egg yolks and cook for 1 minute more. Blend this mixture well.
While the salmon mousse is cooking, slice the courgettes thinly, removing only every other strip of skin. Fry the courgette slices in the pan for 5 minutes.
Line the inside of a cake tin with plastic wrap. Lay out the sliced smoked salmon so that the bottom and sides are completely covered.
Add a layer of salmon mousse, some prawns, courgette slices and then another layer of salmon mousse, prawns, courgette, etc.
Cover the terrine with plastic wrap and leave it to set in the fridge for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
When the terrine has "set", turn it out onto a serving platter and decorate with dill and lemon zest.
Serve with a lemon mayonnaise.
