Mousse: Grind the onion and livers in a food grinder. Add
shallots, thyme, garlic, parsley, and basil and process.

Place the processed mixture into a bowl, add eggs, lard,
bread crumbs (epice parisienne or cayenne pepper is
optional), salt and pepper. Mix well.

Put the mixture into a processor and blend it until
smooth. Add about 1 cup of cream while blending.

Pour back into a bowl and adjust the seasoning: (Note:
mixture should be more liquid than thick -- add more cream
if needed.) Strain through chinois.

Pour mixture into chilled, well-buttered ramekins. Put a
layer of water in a saute pan and place the ramekins on
the pan. Cover the ramekins with buttered parchment paper,
(butter side down) then bring to a boil.

Place the boiled ramekins in a 450|+F/230|+C oven for 8
minutes. Remove parchment and let set for 2 minutes.

Tomato Sauce: Heat the olive oil in a saute pan. Add onion
and garlic and cook until transparent. Add bouquet garni.
Sprinkle onion mixture with flour to thicken sauce.

Add tomatoes immediately and mix well. Reduce the heat.
Add 1 cup of water and cook 20 - 30 minutes. Salt and
pepper to taste.

Remove bouquet garni and put mixture into a food processor
and blend thoroughly (do not blend too much or color will
change).

Strain through chinois. You may add 1 tablespoon of butter
for extra flavor if desired.

Assembly: Unmold the mousse onto a serving plate. Spoon
tomato sauce over the mousse. Top with chopped chives,
carrots, chervil, and watercress. Garnish with bay a leaf.

Title: Hippo Pot de Mousse
Categories: Five, Desserts, Chocolate, Dairy, Nuts
Yield: 6 Servings

4 oz Semisweet chocolate
2 oz Bittersweet chocolate
2 c Heavy cream; well-chilled
- whipping cream will do
- nicely
1 ts Almond extract

Melt the chocolate together in the top of a double boiler.
Be careful to do this slowly, so as not to burn the
chocolate, and to keep all moisture away from the pot. Let
the chocolate cool for five minutes.

While the chocolate cools, whip the cream and almond
extract together until very stiff. Gently fold the cooled
chocolate into the whipped cream. There will be many
flecks of chocolate in the mixture.

If you're not going to eat it all yourself, spoon into six
large wine glasses. Chill one hour.

Yield: Serves one to six people.

NOTES: Extremely quick and easy chocolate mousse -- This
is an adaptation of a very easy chocolate mousse recipe
from Sandra Boynton's hilarious book, "Chocolate, the
Consuming Passion." It requires none of the laborious
preparation that most French mousse recipes call for, and
really optimizes the effort needed to consume the
chocolate, which is, after all, what this is all about.

If you're careful, you can also melt the chocolate in a
microwave oven, in its wrapper. If you try this, be
especially mindful of the semisweet chocolate, as the
sugar therein caramelizes very quickly, leading to an
awful mess (and ruined chocolate).
