    For citrus zest, choose organic fruit if possible and be sure to scrub the fruit well to remove any wax or residue. Cut off only the thin, colored portion of the rind, taking care not to include the bitter white pith. You can use a zester, a tool designed to remove the zest in long, thin strips. A vegetable peeler or a paring knife can also be used, but these tools often produce pieces that are short but wide and need further slicing. Zest may be removed with the fine rasps of a handheld grater as well.

    Fromage blanc is a French-style fresh cheese made from cow's milk. Quark is the German version. Both are tangy and naturally low in fat and are increasingly available in well-stocked food stores. Small-curd cottage cheese or pot cheese may be substituted. If using the former, whirl briefly in a food processor to refine the texture.

    This pairs well with crisp, light-bodied white wines like the Turasan Emir, Cappadocia from our Wine Club.

    Directions:

    In a food processor, combine the fromage blanc, cream cheese, garlic, salt and cayenne and process until smooth. Add the smoked trout and half the orange zest, and pulse a few times just to combine.

    Transfer to a bowl and gently stir in the snipped chives. Cover and refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours.

    Scoop the mousse into small soufflé dishes or other serving bowls. Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving. Scatter the remaining orange zest and the chive lengths over the top of the mousse and serve with the water biscuits. Makes about 2 cups.

    Note: For a more pungent spread, double the amount of smoked trout.
