Tartlet Shell

Mt. Rose Apple Gelée

Method

Tartlet Shell

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Add the chilled, diced butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  2. 2

    Form the Dough

    Gradually add cold water, mixing until the dough comes together. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Bake the Shells

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the chilled dough and cut into circles. Press into tartlet pans and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden. Let cool.

Chicken Liver Mousse

  1. 4

    Sauté Chicken Livers

    In a skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add shallots and garlic, sauté for 2-3 minutes until soft.

  2. 5

    Cook the Livers

    Add the cleaned chicken livers to the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes until browned but still slightly pink inside.

  3. 6

    Deglaze and Blend

    Add brandy to deglaze the skillet. Remove from heat and let cool slightly, then transfer to a blender. Add remaining butter, heavy cream, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth.

  4. 7

    Chill the Mousse

    Transfer the mousse to a bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.

Mt. Rose Apple Gelée

  1. 8

    Prepare Gelatin

    In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin powder over 2 tablespoons of cold water and let stand for 5 minutes to bloom.

  2. 9

    Make the Gelée

    In a saucepan, heat apple juice and sugar over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and stir in bloomed gelatin and lemon juice until fully dissolved.

  3. 10

    Set the Gelée

    Pour the mixture into a shallow dish and refrigerate until set, about 2-3 hours.

Assembly

  1. 11

    Fill Tartlets

    Once the mousse has set, spoon or pipe the chicken liver mousse into the cooled tartlet shells.

  2. 12

    Add Gelée

    Cut the apple gelée into small cubes and place on top of the mousse in each tartlet.

  3. 13

    Garnish

    Top with frisée and shredded Treviso radicchio for a colorful garnish.
