Time 4h20m

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (1/4 ounce) envelope unflavored gelatin (about 1 tablespoon)
1 cup cold water
3/4 cup white wine vinegar
1/4 cup sugar
3 tablespoons dry mustard (Coleman's preferred)
2 tablespoons mustard seeds
4 large eggs, beaten lightly
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1 cup heavy cream, well-chilled
1/3 cup fresh parsley leaves, minced (fresh is best)

Steps:

  • Lightly oil a 5 to 6 cup ring mold.
  • Sprinkle the gelatin over the water in a small bowl and let it stand for about five minutes to soften.
  • Whisk together the vinegar, the sugar, the mustard, the mustard seeds, and the eggs in the top of a double boiler over barely simmering water, cooking, whisking constantly, until it registers 160F on a candy thermometer, and remove from the heat.
  • Stir in the softened gelatin, the paprika, and salt and pepper to taste, stirring until the gelatin is dissolved.
  • Transfer the pan to a larger bowl of ice and cold water, and stir the mixture until it is cold.
  • Whip the cream to stiff peaks, fold into the egg mixture with the parsley until the mixture is combined well, and pour the mixture into prepared mold.
  • Cover and chill mold for 4 hours, or until it is set.
  • To unmold, dip the ring mold briefly in hot water, run a knife around the edges of the aspic, and invert the aspic onto a serving plate.
