Number Of Ingredients 8

15 pimento-stuffed green olives
1 (.25 ounce) package unflavored Jell-O®
2 (12.5 ounce) cans water-packed tuna, drained
1 cup mayonnaise
½ cup ketchup

Steps:

  • Slicing crosswise, cut each stuffed olive into 3 or 4 slices. Spray a small 3-cup terrine, or decorative mold with a flat bottom, with non-stick spray. Carefully cover the bottom of the terrine with the sliced olives, making sure that the pimentos stay in the center of the olives.

VEGETABLE MOUSSE TERRINE



Vegetable Mousse Terrine image

Categories     Dairy     Tomato     Vegetable     Appetizer     Vegetarian     Corn     Pea     Summer     Chill     Gourmet     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free

Yield Makes 8 to 10 first-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

For pea mousse
Vegetable oil for greasing terrine mold
2 1/4 cups shelled fresh or frozen peas (10 oz)
1/2 oz Parmigiano-Reggiano, finely grated using a Microplane (1/2 cup)
1 teaspoon finely grated fresh lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/3 cup chilled heavy cream
For corn mousse
2 1/2 cups fresh corn (from 4 to 5 ears)
1 tablespoon whole milk
1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin (from a 1/4-oz envelope)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/3 cup chilled heavy cream
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
For tomato salad
1/2 lb tomatoes, cut into 1/4-inch dice
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons red-wine vinegar
Special Equipment
a Microplane grater; a 1-qt terrine mold; parchment paper

Steps:

  • Make pea mousse:
  • Lightly oil terrine mold and line bottom and sides with parchment paper, then lightly oil parchment.
  • Cook peas in a large pot of boiling salted water until just tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer peas with a slotted spoon (reserve cooking water) to a bowl of ice and cold water to stop cooking. When peas are cool, drain well, then transfer to several layers of paper towels and pat dry.
  • Purée peas in a food processor, scraping down sides of bowl if necessary, until very smooth, about 1 minute, then force through a medium-mesh sieve into a bowl, discarding skins. Add cheese, zest, juice, salt, and pepper, stirring to combine.
  • Beat cream in another bowl with an electric mixer until it just holds stiff peaks, then fold into pea mixture.
  • Spread pea mousse evenly in terrine mold and chill.
  • Make corn mousse while pea mousse chills:
  • Return cooking water to a boil, then add corn and cook until very tender, about 6 minutes.
  • While corn cooks, put milk in a medium bowl and sprinkle with gelatin, then let soften 1 minute. Add salt and pepper.
  • Drain corn in cleaned medium-mesh sieve, then transfer to several layers of fresh paper towels and pat dry. Pulse in cleaned food processor, scraping down sides of bowl if necessary, until very smooth, about 1 minute.
  • Force warm puréed corn through sieve with a large rubber spatula into milk mixture, discarding skins, and stir to combine. (Heat from corn will dissolve gelatin.) Cool to room temperature, about 20 minutes.
  • Beat cream in another bowl with electric mixer until it just holds stiff peaks, then fold into corn mixture along with basil.
  • Spread corn mousse on top of pea mousse in terrine mold and chill, its surface covered with lightly oiled parchment (oiled side down), until softly set (terrine will not be firm), at least 4 hours.
  • Unmold terrine and make salad:
  • Remove top layer of parchment and invert a platter on top of terrine mold. Invert mousse onto platter and carefully remove parchment.
  • Toss tomatoes with oil, vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste. Just before serving, spoon tomato salad around terrine.

Tips:

  • For a smoother mousse, use a food processor or blender to combine the ingredients until light and fluffy.
  • If you don't have a food processor or blender, you can mash the tuna and other ingredients together with a fork.
  • Make sure the tuna is well drained before adding it to the mousse. This will help to prevent the mousse from becoming watery.
  • Season the mousse to taste with salt and pepper. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as dill, chives, or lemon zest.
  • Chill the mousse for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help it to set and firm up.
  • Serve the mousse with crackers, bread, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Tuna mousse terrine with olives is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. It's perfect for parties or potlucks, and it can be made ahead of time. The mousse is light and fluffy, with a savory flavor that pairs perfectly with the salty olives. If you're looking for a new and exciting way to enjoy tuna, this recipe is definitely worth trying.
