This is SO cool! A must try🍋👌

[@finedineathome]

Try and check my second recipe for lemon caviar, which is even better 😃

[@joshmorison7191]

Thank you so much for this. I substituted lime to recreate a panna cotta dish I'd had in Italy, and it came out perfectly. Cheers!

[@finedineathome]

I am happy to hear that, have a lovely day!

[@harendrasharma1711]

Very nice

[@Paulfrankfriend]

this is so cool since it doesn't use the spherification method. i might try making it! If i wanted to make a basil one, what fruit juice or liquid should i pair it with? what do you think might happen if i mix it into ice cream and freeze it? :)

[@finedineathome]

You can just blend basil leaves with cup of water and then add agar agar :) I think it should be okay, the caviar in ice cream will definitely be hard after freezing, but after all, chocolate in ice cream is also hard and nobody complain about that :) I next two weeks I will upload recipe for freshly cut grass ice creams and basil caviar would fit here perfectly :)

[@ikvangalen6101]

Strawberry is very nice with basil. But freezing them in ice? It’s water for what, 98%? Water turns into crystals when frozen, so , not a pleasant mouth feel I think.

Can oil be used again or it has to be changed? And does oil it its taste changed? Thanks for kind answer.

[@finedineathome]

Hi :) can be used again, I don't think it changes the taste of the oil :)

[@senemerdogan1286]

How & how many days can it be stored?

[@finedineathome]

3 days

[@eckhardtfouche9806]

Thanx

[@loua3926]

Did you use cold or warm water to rinse them? Thank you!

[@finedineathome]

Cold water :)

[@ElDevasSandino]

Great recipe! I do have a questions though, could I use the mixture of oil,parsley,garlic,lemon,pepper and salt and put it in the syringe? Would it also work? Cause that mixture has oil in it and I would put it in cold oil which is the same. Like would it dissolve or would it work? Thank you a lot!

[@finedineathome]

Thank you! Unfortunately you cannot use oil in the mixture with this method, but I will upload video with reverse spherification method soon and then you can add oil to your caviar :)

Hi can u make pomegranate molasses caviar?

[@finedineathome]

Hi, with this method you can do it, try to make mixture 100 ml pomegranate molasses 100 ml water 1 g agar agar powder ☺️

[@A-wc1yf]

What would you recommend pairing this with? Also would extra virgin olive oil work instead of veg oil?

[@finedineathome]

Lemon pearls with seafood and fish are the best combination :) unfortunately extra virgin olive oil doesnt work with this method or any other oil, if you want to make molecular caviar with olive oil you need to use spherification method with sodium alginate. I will make a video in near future and show my audience how to make it :) thank you for comments :)

[@joshmorison7191]

Excellent on panna cotta. Had that combo in Italy and just recreated at home. Highly recommend.

[@cuocsongxamxicuamili120]

how to keep it? keep with oil or just put on the fridge?

[@finedineathome]

Store agar caviar in a sealed container in the fridge with a little water and lemon juice, and use within 2-3 days to maintain its texture.

[@cuocsongxamxicuamili120]

@@finedineathome thanks for your useful information

[@gastroalchemy4499]

Is it liquid inside or a homogeneous spere shaped agar agar. I went to a restaurant and each pearl bust with liquid inside as soon as you pop it with pressure.

[@finedineathome]

It has homogeneous sphere, but I will upload recipe with reverse spherification method in near future, and these one will have liquid inside, its not easy to make it with lemon juice because of pH lemon, but I tried few times and found the solution for it :)

Thanks! I can't wait

What if i dont add sugar is it gonna be the pearl?

[@finedineathome]

Yes, you dont have to you use sugar :)

[@parkj4054]

@@finedineathome thank you so much

[@nynatv8798]

You can eliminate sugar but when I did, it was bitter...the sugar will add just a touch of sweetness to cut the acidic flavor of the lemon.

[@qnosetequemeelarroz]

is it compulsory to use sugar? can i just eliminate it from the recipe?

[@finedineathome]

Sure you can eliminate sugar

[@abigeil8]

Can we use gelatin ?🙂

[@finedineathome]

Unfortunately not :( gelatin has different gelling temperature and is more sensitive to lemon pH

[@67buzzo]

Will it work with ice water instead of oil?

[@finedineathome]

Unfortunately not, you have to use neutral oil like sunflower or rapseed

[@ConeyIsAFishMan]

Does this method work with other non-citrus fruits?

[@finedineathome]

It works with other fruits :)

[@faresbkairat427]

What is the substitute of agar ?

[@finedineathome]

You can use only agar with this recipe :)

[@nemofairlight]

Gelatin

[@northernrootsoutdoors854]

Can this same process be used with broths?

[@finedineathome]

This method doesnt work with broth. But with sodium alginate spherification should be ok :)

[@mimiloulouromy]

Je suis en français donc ?

[@jonathanwilliams1974]

Why not use the lemon zest as well? Simmer with zest, strain zest, then proceed with the agar, boiling etc. There is more flavor from the zest than the juice. Seems like a lost opportunity here.

[@finedineathome]

You are right, its a good idea to add lemon zest :)

[@yoanamiteva7082]

Doesn't look like the best pearls I have seen also in the description of doesn't say how much water did you use

[@finedineathome]

Thanks for your opinion :) I will add info about water. Have a lovely day ❤

[@cindys.w.8566]

IF you where paying attention the video shows you 100 ml SMH

[@hanssmitt4716]

Nasty.. not interested of using oil.. why not sodium ahílate and calcium CL..

[@finedineathome]

Its different method with reverse spherification, I want to upload recipe in near future. Its quite difficult because of pH lemon
