Tuna And Asparagus Mousseline Food

OLD FASHIONED TUNA CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Using a large (9"x13") casserole dish begin by crushing a layer of chips on the bottom not into powder but just broken pieces to make a full layer, I usually use less than half a bag but you want to cover the bottom well.
• Proceed to layer the remaining ingredients using all in the order listed - celery, asparagus, tuna - then spread the undiluted cream of chicken soup carefully so you don't mix up your layers.
• Sprinkle with cheese, it's OK to use a little extra if you like or less if you are looking to reduce calories.
• Top with crushed chips and bake in a 325 oven for 45 minutes or till hot all the way through. If your chips are beginning to brown you may want to cover with foil at the end but not the whole way through or they will get soggy.
• Enjoy with green or fruit salad or sliced tomatoes!

ASPARAGUS MOUSSELINE

Steps:

• For the mousseline sauce: Place the egg yolks and citrus juices in a bowl over simmering water or in a double boiler. Cook, whisking, until thick and frothy with a ribbonlike texture, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the butter to emulsify. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• For the leeks: Thinly slice the leeks into matchsticks. Add the butter to a large skillet over medium heat, and cook until brown, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the leeks and saute until translucent and soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• For the asparagus: Bring a medium saucepan filled with cold water to a simmer, then add the salt. Cut the tough ends from the bottoms of the asparagus and peel the stalks. Blanch the asparagus in the simmering water for 3 to 4 minutes. Meanwhile, add ice to a medium mixing bowl filled with cold water. Add the blanched asparagus to the ice water to stop the cooking. Once the asparagus have chilled, remove from the ice water and pat dry.
• Arrange the leeks on a serving platter. Lay the asparagus on top. Glaze the asparagus with the mousseline sauce. Serve with the remaining sauce on the side.

• In a shallow baking dish, toss the asparagus with the oil to coat well. Add the salt, and pepper and toss.
• Place the asparagus on the grill in a single layer, and cook, turning, until marked and tender, about 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a platter, sprinkle with the lemon juice and drizzle with olive oil, to taste. Cover with aluminum foil and let sit for 5 minutes before serving.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a large, 14-inch, oven proof frying pan, combine all of the ingredients. Stir to blend then transfer to the oven and cook until the tomatoes begin to caramelize, about 30 minutes. Remove the skillet from the oven and stir well. Return to the oven and continue to cook until further caramelized and much of the liquid has evaporated, about 30 minutes longer. Serve immediately. (Alternately, cool slightly, and transfer to a blender, in batches if necessary, and process sauce until coarsely pureed. If the sauce seems too thick, thin with a bit of water or chicken broth.)
• To store, cool completely and refrigerate for up to 4 days in a nonreactive, airtight container.
• The sauce is great on pasta as well as pizza and even makes a great dipping sauce for hors d'oeuvres. If you prefer a less rustic sauce, puree completely as described above and strain.
