I'm cooking this todayRecipe's preparation
Combine all ingredients with butterfly, speed 4, 60 sec.
Pour into a flat bottomed container and place in frisge to hydrate and allow air bubbles to clear for at least 15 min or overnight.
Chop garlic and herbs - 10 sec speed 7. Scrape down. Repeat until finely chopped.
Add remaining ingredients and mix well, 45 sec speed 4.
Set aside in fridge 15 min
To form the spheres, deposit a teasoon "ball" of mixture into the alginate bath. Make sure it is submerged completely to allow membrane to form from contact.
Loow to sit in bath for 3 min while membrane forms. If you leave it too long, the whole ball will solidify, too short it will pop prematurely.
Remove from alginate bath with a slotted spoon or fork, and rinse well in a fresh water bath.
Drain on paper towel and use as soon as practical.
