tagliolini with chilli aioli and red seaweed caviar
This is a very simple and tasty supper idea of homemade chilli aioli stirred through freshly boiled tagliolini pasta with red seaweed caviar.
Mediterranean Delicacies makes this original and innovative product called Red Seaweed Cavi-Art which resembles caviar but is a delicacy made from seaweed. I totally love how it tastes of the sea without in any way being fishy.
I had been playing around making aioli and added chilli to some which complimented this perfectly. This dish in fact later evolved into something a bit more complex but I had already taken the photo.
I added finely chopped parsley, capers and a few anchovies to it and enjoyed a truly delicious and almost instant supper.
It really doesn’t warrant a recipe, just boil pasta to al dente and stir through enough aioli to coat the strands. Add some freshly chopped chilli to taste and just enough seaweed caviar to taste. I can also recommend adding the other bits that I did.
Another recipe I made using it: Potato cakes with salmon pate and red seaweed caviar
I’ve been wanting to try that seaweed caviar, this dish sounds/looks really good so I think it’s the perfect time to try it.
This looks fantastic. The seaweed caviar is intriquing. Where did you find that, I haven’t heard of it before?
Hi Suzi, I most recently saw it at Pick n Pay Sea Point, but look out for it amongst the Mediterranean Delicacies ranges in selected Spar, Checkers and Pick N Pay stores. Also lovely on these: https://drizzleanddip.com/2012/02/09/potato-cakes-with-salmon-pate-and-red-seaweed-caviar
