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?
