Caviar Mousse
- 3 extra-large eggs, hard-boiled
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise, thick, tangy (your choice)
- 1 tablespoon onion, grated
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon gelatin powder
- 5 tablespoons water
- 3 1/2 ounces lumpfish caviar (red or black, or what you can afford)
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice, fresh
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (a seasoned salt of your preference)
- white pepper (a pinch)
- Grate the hardboiled eggs as finely as possible on a cheese grater.
- Add the mayonnaise, onion and Worcestershire sauce, and mix well.
- Stir the gelatine into the water. then heat while stirring, until the gelatine granules dissolve completely. Add the lemon juice.
- Stir this into the egg and mayonnaise mixture.
- Fold in the caviar gently so as not to break it up. (Actually, the quantity of caviar you use depends entirely on your budget!).
- Taste the mixture: it will surely need something like a dash of Tabasco, or some white pepper, or salt.
- Pour into a greased mold (or one sprayed with nonstick spray).
- Chill for about 3 hours or more.
- Turn out and garnish with lemon slices, chopped parsley, and leftover caviar --or your choice! Slice thinly.
- Serve with salty crackers or melba toast.
