FISH FLAN WITH CRESS CREAM
Combine the whiting fillets and the egg yolks in an electric mixer. Little by little, mix in 14 ounces of sour cream, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Cut the fish fillets into thin ribbons. Butter a Charlotte mould and fill with alternate layers of fish paste and fish ribbons, ending up with a layer of fish paste. Pack down. Bake in a hot oven (400F), placing the mould in a bain-marie, for about 40 minutes. Check the baking with the tip of a knife, it should come out of the flan clean. The cream: Pick the leaves off the cress and wash them several times. Blanch them in boiling water for 1 minute. Drain. Freshen under running water. Drain again. Blend the leaves in an electric mixer. Pour into a saucepan and bring to the boil so that they lose all the water. Add the cream and heat. Salt, pepper. Turn out the flan onto a deep dish. Coat with the sauce or serve the sauce in a gravy boat.
