-
Soak the gelatine in cold
water for 10 minutes. Line a cake terrine with cling film
-
Peel 4 avocados and take out
the stone. Mix 3 of the avocados with a little pepper and
3 tablespoons of lemon juice. Cut the fourth one in little
cubes.
-
Pour the crème fraîche in a
casserole, heat it and then take it off the heat to add
the gelatine. Make sure it dissolves; transfer the mixture
to a salad bowl with the ricotta. Add salt and pepper and
beat with a whisk.
-
Beat the egg whites into peaks
with a pinch of salt and gently incorporate it into the
ricotta with the whisk at a low setting (or by hand).
Divide the mousse into 3 salad bowls. Incorporate the well
drained crab and half the chopped herbs into the first
bowl. Add the avocado mixture to the second bowl and keep
the third bowl as is.
-
Pour the crab mousse into the
bottom of the terrine; cover with the ricotta mousse while
adding the avocado cubes and the rest of the chopped
herbs, and finish with the avocado mousse. Cover with
cling film and place in the fridge for 8 hours.
-
Just before serving, take the
terrine out of the mould and sprinkle over the paprika.
Decorate with slices of the last avocado (kept in lemon
juice) and add a bunch of fresh herbs.
