Caviar is a luxurious food item, traditionally made from fish eggs, for which people shell out high prices for its unique salty and creamy flavour. However, some fine dining restaurants have introduced fruit caviar for those who can’t enjoy the taste of seafood items. Similarly, one chef has captured the internet’s attention with his innovation, as he prepared Caviar using pomegranate. In a viral video shared by the young chef, viewers are taken through a delightful process of making this fruity version of Caviar. Beginning with cutting the fruit and extracting the juice out of the pomegranate seeds into water, followed by removal of any extra particles. The chef then adds lemon and sugar for enhanced flavour. He uses alginate in the liquid, while a separate calcium solution is prepared and it is set aside to rest.
The chef proceeds by using a syringe to carefully drop tiny droplets of the pomegranate liquid into the calcium solution. He suggests testing a small batch first and making sure the droplets don’t contain any calcium or it might dissolve. Once the proportions are accurate, the small red balls are separated and rinsed with water.
Sharing the video on Instagram, the chef wrote, “ANAAR CAVIAR. MODERNIST CUISINE: Street Food to Fine Dine. Fruit caviars are pretty common in fine dine and making them is also fairly easy once you get a hold of it. The real challenge is to source the right ingredients and also the proportions. You have to be correct here otherwise everything just falls apart before your eyes. I especially loved this one due to the pop that it had. If you are into boba give this a try. These are way better than those chewy boba pearls (for me).”
