Ingredients

Directions

  1. Sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over the 1/4 cup of water and let it stand for 5 minutes until softened.
  2. Warm 1 cup of sour cream over low heat in a small saucepan, just until lukewarm.
  3. Add the softened gelatin to the warm sour cream and stir constantly until the gelatin is completely dissolved, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  4. Remove the mixture from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 2 teaspoons grated onion, 1/4 teaspoon sugar, and a dash of hot pepper sauce until well blended.
  5. Place 4 ounces of caviar (lumpfish or white fish) in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse carefully with cold water.
  6. Shake the strainer gently to remove excess water from the caviar.
  7. Fold the rinsed caviar into the cooled gelatin-sour cream mixture, ensuring the pearls are evenly distributed.
  8. Season with salt and white pepper to taste.
  9. Pour the mixture into a rinsed mold or individual serving dishes.
  10. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until firmly set.
  11. Unmold onto a serving platter, garnish with parsley sprigs, and serve with toast rounds or unsalted crackers.
