I'm cooking this todayRecipe's preparation
Fill glass or jar with oil and chill in freezer for at least half an hour
Place vinegar and agar agar into bowl
Cook 100 deg, speed 2 for 2 min until boils
Pour into small bowl, allow to cool 5 min then draw up into syringe or pipette
Dribble mixture slowly and evenly into cold oil to form pearls - do not overcrowd or warm up the oil - may take several batches (see pic - shown sideways)
Remove the pearls using slotted spoon and rinse in cold water bath
Drain and use
Tip
HINTS:
*Make sure your oil is cold and your mixture cool to allow the pearls to gel and set before they hit the bottom of the glass - otherwise they will stick together or have flat spots
*Experiment with the height you drip from to get the perfect size and shape - you dont want the drop to splatter when it hits the oil
*Can be made well before hand and stored for at least a week in the fridge with a dribble of balsamic to keep them moist
*Try them on fresh strawberries, or as an alternative way to dress your salad! Shown here on sliced mozzarella and tomato as a simple canape with olive oil dust and rocket spagetti - see other recipes

Ooh, I need to try this one day! Looks cool! Is it powdered or flaked agar agar?
Perfect way to make "caviar"
