Gravlax and Avocado Mousse  
When you end up with leftovers of gravlax, this mousse  
is a great way of using them. On a hot summer evening  
serve it refrigerated, but on a cold winter day it can  
even be served at room temperature.  
Proceed as follows:  
Ingredients:  
1
. Set aside 50-75 grams of the gravlax. Puree the  
remainder in the food processor.  
·
·
200 g gravlax  
200 g avocado meat (scoop  
out the meat of a medium  
size ripe avocado)  
2 tbsp dry sherry  
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice  
salt and pepper as desired  
2. Add the avocado meat and continue pureeing.  
3. Add the sherry, the lemon juice and pepper and  
salt as desired and continue the pureeing until  
you have a smooth mousse.  
4. Spread the mousse on crackers or small pieces  
of toast.  
·
·
·
5
. Cut the remaining gravlax into thin strips and  
use these to adorn the mousse.  
We have tried several ways of spicing the mousse (e.g.,  
cognac and port wine) but dry sherry is by far the best  
way. What remains to be tested is what a few dashes of  
Tabasco® would do to the dish. If you try that before  
we do, please let us know about the result.
