Fresh Cucumber, Mint And Dill Mousse
- 1/2 cucumber
- 5 leaves gelatine
- 14 ounces Greek yogurt, full fat or 2%
- handful of mint leaves, very finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon chives, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon dill, finely chopped, plus a few fronds to garnish
- zest of 1 lemon
- squeeze of lemon juice or a splash of white wine vinegar
- sea salt and black pepper
- Grate the cucumber and leave it for half an hour, lightly salted, in a sieve over a bowl, pressing down occasionally with the back of a wooden spoon to remove the juices.
- Squeeze out any remaining water before using.
- Place the gelatine in a glass with water to soften (follow pack instructions).
- When soft, heat in a small saucepan with a little water until dissolved.
- Put the yogurt with all the remaining ingredients in a separate bowl, season to taste and fork it through to mix thoroughly.
- Add in the gelatine and mix further; pour this into a small tin, dariole or jelly mold - I use a miniature loaf tin - and refrigerate for 3 hours or overnight.
- When ready to serve, carefully immerse the tin or mold in hot water, taking care that it does not seep over the rim, and after a few seconds it should loosen so that you can turn it out onto a plate.
- Garnish with fronds of dill.
