Cook's notes
Oven temperatures are for conventional; if using fan-forced (convection), reduce the temperature by 20˚C. | We use Australian tablespoons and cups: 1 teaspoon equals 5 ml; 1 tablespoon equals 20 ml; 1 cup equals 250 ml. | All herbs are fresh (unless specified) and cups are lightly packed. | All vegetables are medium size and peeled, unless specified. | All eggs are 55-60 g, unless specified.
Instructions
1. Add mortadella, ricotta, parmesan, cream and salt to a food processor and blitz until whipped, stopping every so often to scrape mixture down from the sides of the bowl. Transfer mousse to a serving dish and sprinkle chopped pistachios over the top.
2. Serve with mini flatbreads (see recipe). Buon appetito!
