Name: Cheese and Fresh Herb Mousse with Zucchini Ribbons
Prep time: 25 min
Total time: 25 min
Yield: 4 serving(s)
Ingredients: 2 green onions, chopped; ¼ cup (10 g) parsley, finely chopped; 1/3 cup (10 g) chives, finely chopped; 3 tbsp (45 ml) olive oil; 1 tbsp (15 ml) red wine vinegar; ½ tsp salt; ¼ cup (60 ml) 35% cream; ½ cup (125 ml) quark cheese; Beet microgreens or dried wild rose, crumbled (optional); 2 small green zucchini

Preparation

Cheese Mousse
- In a bowl, combine the green onions and herbs with 2 tbsp (30 ml) of the oil, the vinegar and salt. Set aside half of the mixture in a small bowl and stir in the remaining oil. Set aside until ready to serve.
- In another bowl, whisk the cream until firm peaks form.
- Add the quark to the bowl of herbs. Season with salt. Using a spatula, gently fold in the whipped cream. Adjust the seasoning.
- Transfer the cheese mixture to a sieve lined with cheesecloth and set over a bowl. Close the cheesecloth around the mixture. Weigh down with a plate and a heavy object, such as a large can. Let drain for 1 hour in the refrigerator. Once fully drained, the cheese mousse will keep for 4 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Assembly
- Meanwhile, slice the zucchini into thin ribbons on a mandoline. Place in a bowl. Season lightly with salt and let degorge for 10 minutes at room temperature. Pat the zucchini dry with paper towels, if needed.
- Drizzle a line of the reserved herb-oil mixture along the bottom of four plates. Shape the cheese mousse into quenelles and place beside the herb-oil mixture. Fold the zucchini ribbons into accordions and place about one-quarter of them side by side on each plate next to the cheese mousse. Garnish with the microgreens or wild rose. Serve with crackers or croutons.
