1. MOUSSE, MOUSSELINE AND QUENNELLE
The terms mousse and mousseline are often used inter-changeably and
confused with each other.
Mousse
The cold mousse is a delicacy that is sure to delight the eye and please the
palate as well. A mousse can be defined as a mixture of cooked
ingredients, pureed and held together with gelatin, veloute sauce,
mayonnaise or aspic jelly, then enriched with cream and sometimes
flavored with wine. The mousse is always served cold, very often
attractively moulded.
A mousse is made with cooked meat, fish, poultry and nowadays, increasingly
with vegetables. The method of preparation is the same for all recipes,
whatever the ingredients used. The ingredients are first pureed, then mixed
with a binding agent like gelatin. Then cream and seasoning are blended in.
Mousse is often served on the cold buffet and at times for luncheon.

3. MOUSSELINE
Mousseline is made out of a combination of uncooked meat that are pureed
and bound with egg white and sometimes cream. They are set by cooking.
Normally, the forcemeat for a mousseline is made out of fish. The raw fish
is processed along with egg white to a fine paste. Seasoning and a little
cream can be incorporated towards the end of the procesing. The mixture
may be flavored with herbs like dill and parsley. It is then spooned into
moulds like a timbale and then covered and steamed until the mixture has
set. Mousseline can be served hot or chilled in the refrigerator and then
serve cold. Fish like salmon, trout, sole and other light white fish are
normally used. Shell- fish like crab, shrimp, prawn and lobster are also
popular. Mousseline is a good way to use p trimmings and left overs while
pre- preparing fish. Besides fish, other ingredients like ham can also be
used to make mousseline. Small timbales of mousseline can also be used as an
accompaniment of the main course and also to decorate the cold meat
platters that are set out on a buffet presentation.
QUENELLES
Quenelles are products that are made out of forcemeat as well. The
forcemeat in this case is fish and is made out of a raw meat mixture. The
forcemeat is similar to that used to make a mousseline. The fish is
processed to a fine puree along with egg white which acts as a binder.
Sometimes, bechamel sauce is also used. Seasonings, herbs and sometimes,
light spices can also be added. Two tablespoons dipped in hot water are
used to shape the quenelles. These oblong shaped quenelles are then poached
in fish stock for a couple of minutes until they are cooked. The stock is
then used to prepare a sauce like a Fish Veloute that will accompany the
quenelles.
A variety of different fish can be utilised to prepare quenelle. Shellfish is
not very popular to make quenelles, but fleshy fish like cod is ideal.
Quenelles can be served hot with a suitable sauce as the fish course on the
menu. Quenelles also feature as a starter for luncheon or even dinner
