Mussels with agar-agar

Agar-agar is extracted from a type of Japanese red algae, although the name comes from a Malay word meaning “seaweed”. It can be used to create some very interesting textures in the kitchen. In this case, we suggest mixing it with your escabeche. This will give you a cream for covering the mussels. Add a finishing touch to this tasty tapa with some crunchy french fries.
