Tuna Mousse - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 envelope Unflavored Gelatin
    2 TBSP Lemon Juice
    1 slice of onion - 1 inch thick
    1/2 cup boiling water
    1/2 cup mayonnaise
    2 - 7 ounce cans of Tuna in water
    1 tsp dill
    1/4 tsp paprika
    1 cup Sour Cream
Preparation
    In a blender or food processor, combine the gelatin, lemon juice, onion and boiling water and blend thoroughly.
    Add mayonnaise, tuna, paprika and dill - blend again.
    Add sour cream and blend making sure the mixture is smooth and that the sour cream has all been incorporated.
    Turn mixture into a lightly oiled 3 1/2 cup mold (I use a fish shaped mold).
    Chill until firm, preferably overnight and unmold on a platter (it helps to loosen the edge with a small sharp knife).
    Garnish with parsley, black olives, green olives, radishes and lemons (I use a small piece of a sliced green olive with pimento for fish's eye.)
    Surround the bottom of the tray with party sized pumpernickel or rye bread slices or crackers.
