It’s official: caviar has entered its ‘athleisure’ phase. These days the ultimate extravagance is to play it casual - serving this decadent ambrosia with on-trend elegant nonchalance.
What could be more highbrow-lowbrow than the combination of the finest caviar with the humble potato crisp?
Renowned caviar house Petrossian recently opened a boutique and café in South Kensington, and their Caviar & Crisps dish is proving very popular. It’s the ultimate high-low marriage; a salty, briny combination that pops with each bite, combined with silky creme fraiche to make it all the more indulgent.
If you can’t make it to Petrossian’s caviar café, why not make it at home? With next day delivery (same day in London), order in your preferred Petrossian caviar, or for a more affordable option, try their Wild Salmon Roe. Grab a bag of potato chips (lightly salted is best), dab on some creme fraiche or sour cream, and dollop a bit of caviar on top. Sprinkle on finely sliced chives for colour and an extra pop of flavour.
Looking for more Casual Caviar dishes? Petrossian also serves up a boiled egg and soldiers…with caviar, a baked potato topped with caviar, and the Petrossian Croque - their take on the traditional croque monsieur, but swapping ham for, you guessed it, caviar or truffle.
