Instructions
- 1
Make the gelatin egg: sprinkle 1 tbsp unflavored gelatin over 3 tbsp cold water in a small bowl and let it bloom for 2 minutes. Add 1 tbsp boiling water and stir until fully dissolved and slightly thickened. Set aside to cool for 5 minutes — it should be the consistency of a loose gel, not fully set.

Make the herb aioli: whisk together the coconut cream, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, grated garlic, parsley, chives, and salt in a small bowl until smooth and uniform. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
