Sous Vide Eggplant Fondue with Eggplant Croquant Recipe

I've often thought about the early days of the French Laundry cookbook and how it shaped my way of thinking. By no means is it a holy grail of a book; it certainly has its flaws. I mostly admire and draw from the stories and anecdotal sections of recipes like these. There's a section that references cooking eggplant low and slow until it forms a fondue like texture. That line was the single point of inspiration for this technique. We learned a version of the Croquant technique when chef Paul Liebrandt came and did a pop-up at CVI.

Cuban Style Sous Vide Beef Bowl Recipe

My Cuban Style Sous Vide Beef Bowl is a filling grain bowl that pops with flavor. The rich and beefy skirt steak is cut by the sour mojo sauce, and the mango and plantains add bursts of sweetness.

I made my creamy sous vide parsnip soup into a lighter version that still retains much of the creaminess of the original while using much less butter and cream.

Sous vide strip steak is one of my favorite steaks to cook. Strip steak is less expensive than ribeye or filet because it can be a little tough, but with sous vide it can be cooked long enough to tenderize it. It only needs to be heated through, usually 2 to 4 hours, but I'll often let it go an extra few hours to soften it up some.

Sous Vide Chicken Soup Recipe

People often don't think about adding sous vide chicken to dishes that would normally cook it. A great example is this flavorful chicken soup.

Sous vide chicken is an easy weeknight meal, regardless of how you serve it.

Sous Vide 131°F Short Ribs with Corn, Bean and Kale Salad Recipe

Short ribs are a rich, fatty cut that is full of amazing flavor when cooked sous vide. However, it can really overwhelm a dish if the sides are also heavy.

Sous Vide Asparagus with Garlic-Shallot Oil Recipe

Asparagus can be cooked many different ways, but using sous vide can remove most of the timing pressure.

For this recipe I like to combine the cooked asparagus with some olive oil infused with shallots and garlic then top it all off with some tarragon and lemon zest.

Sous Vide Tuna Poke Bowl Recipe

Poke bowls are becoming more and more popular and showing up in restaurants around the country. The combination of fresh fish, an acidic dressing, and crisp vegetables is always satisfying.

Be sure to use high quality tuna because you are still eating it raw.

Sous Vide Sausage with Roasted Peppers and Cucumber Salad Recipe

Sausages are one of my favorite things to sous vide because they end up so much juicier than when I cook them traditionally.

I combine the sausage and the peppers with a simple cucumber salad for a flavorful, tasty meal!

Dried Chile Pepper Sauce Recipe

I'm a huge fan of mole sauces, but sometimes I don't want to go through all the effort to make some. This dried chile pepper sauce uses less ingredients and comes together much quicker, making it something you can make more regularly. I love using it on steak, lamb, or pork. I often like to thicken it up by turning it into an agar fluid gel, something that gives it a ton of body without changing the flavor profile.

Sous Vide Ginger Shrimp Stir Fry Recipe

Quick stir fries are some of my favorite weeknight meals. They come together so quickly, and it's easy to add a ton of flavor to them. Plus you can use up whatever vegetables you have in the fridge! This stir fry has a great ginger bite to it and is rounded out with some fish sauce and soy sauce. I love to top it with sous vide shrimp, but it works equally well with sous vided chicken, pork, or even beef.

Sous Vide Corned Beef Reubens Recipe

Corned beef Reubens are one of my all-time favorite sandwiches. The salty and heavily spiced corned beef compliments the tangy sauerkraut, with some sharp Swiss cheese and hearty rye bread topped with some Russian Dressing, tying it all together. While I'll eat Reuben cooked almost any way, I especially love them when the corned beef is sous vided.

Sous Vide Chicken and Avocado Bowl Recipe

This is a super simple recipe to toss together when you need a filling but quick meal. The lemon helps to brighten up the dish while the radishes and cucumber introduce a pleasant crunch. The lemon and olive oil add brightness to the dish without overwhelming it. This recipe works equally well with turkey breast.

Lemon-Parsley Mousse Recipe

Lemon, parsley, and capers are a classic sauce used to flavor white fish. This recipe combines that sauce with heavy cream in a whipping siphon to create a light and airy mousse topping. The topping carries the flavors of the sauce while adding a delicate texture to the dish.

Sous Vide Tuna and Ginger Sesame Salad Recipe

Lightly seared tuna is one of those lunch meals that tastes great and fills me up without leaving me feeling heavy afterwards. Sometimes I have trouble making sure the middle is warm without overcooking the outside. Cooking it with sous vide at a lower temperature ensures it is heated throughout without over cooking it at all. Finishing it off with a really quick sear adds some color and texture while leaving the rest of the tuna perfectly done.

Top Round Salad with Watercress and Kale Recipe

Top round is a very lean but tough piece of meat that really shines with sous vide. After 1 to 2 days it turns very tender. As a definitely milder cut of meat, it can sometimes be on the dry side, so I like to pair it with a flavorful salad for a light summer meal. The peppery watercress combines with the earthy kale for a nuanced base salad that is brightened up with the lemon vinaigrette. Pomegranate seeds and berries add bursts of sweetness without overwhelming the taste of the steak.

Sous Vide Poached Cherry Tomatoes Recipe

Using sous vide to lightly poach tomatoes results in a tender and moist side dish. The tomatoes are just heated through, not broken down, so cooking them at almost any low temperature works well. I usually serve them with steaks so I cook them at 131°F (55°C) because I toss them in with the steaks at the end of their cooking time.

Shakshuka with Sous Vide Poached Egg Blossom Recipe

I first tried shakshuka at the Park Slope restaurant Miriam, which serves an amazing variety of Israeli foods for brunch. It's a hearty and filling meal that is still packed with fresh ingredients prepared simply. I've found sous viding the eggs adds a level of control to the process that I didn't have before with traditional poaching.

Mango Red Curry Agar Whipping Siphon Foam Recipe

Mango curries are sweet, fruity and spicy, and they pair wonderfully with roasted meats such as pork loin or chicken breasts.

Sous Vide Curried Chicken Salad Recipe

Chicken salad is a classic summer dish, but sometimes it can be a little dry and bland, and no amount of mayonnaise can save it. Using sous vide to cook the chicken is a great first step, resulting in always moist and tender meat. To bump up the flavor, I turn to fruit chutney and curry powder. Then I round it out and add a ton of texture with diced celery, carrots, grapes, apples and pecans. It's a dynamic, flavorful dish that everyone loves.

Sous Vide Chicken Mole in the Puebla Style Recipe

When it is done right, Puebla-style mole is one of my favorite sauces. This recipe is for a more traditional preparation than the milder and cloyingly sweet versions found at chain restaurants. It takes advantage of the different chile flavors and is very bold and full flavored. When you sous vide the chicken, the dish elevates to a whole new level. The sauce does take a decent amount of effort, but I'll often double or triple the recipe and store the remainder in plastic bags in the freezer so I can easily use it later. The sauce works exquisitely with shredded pork or chicken breasts and thighs.

Sous Vide Chicken and Sauteed Vegetables Recipe

Sous vide chicken breast is always flavorful and moist, but you don't always just want to eat it by itself. This recipe combines it with a simple vegetable stir fry that bulks it out and bumps the flavor, all the while still being super simple to put together. It's a great go-to weeknight meal when you want something easy to make that is still tasty.

Sous Vide Cauliflower and Chickpeas Recipe

Cauliflower might be on the bland side, but when sous vided then combined with chickpeas, cherry tomatoes and red bell pepper, it turns into a flavorful and filling side. With the addition of tart lime juice and spicy jalapeño pepper it's a complex dish that comes together in no time.

Sous Vide Pork, Bulgur, and Vegetable Bowl Recipe

There are many really fancy things you can make with sous vide, but my favorite reason for using it is because it is so convenient! This recipe is a prime example. It takes perfectly cooked sous vide pork chops and combines them with a simple base of roasted vegetables on top of some bulgur with a tangy lemon vinaigrette drizzled over everything. It's a very quick and easy meal but the moist, tender pork chops turn it into an amazing dish, even for a weeknight.

Pork minute steaks are thin, and often chewy, cuts of pork that usually have a lot of flavor. Using sous vide to tenderize them results in a really tasty and tender piece of meat.

It is safe to say that tofu isn't a favorite food of mine, but my father-in-law loves it and I wanted to try something special for him so I came up with this spicy tofu and kale bowl. Thanks to the Anova website I found a few variations on sous vide tofu recipes and adapted them to come up with this version.

Sous Vide Citrus Cured Salmon with Fennel Carpaccio Recipe

Lightly curing salmon infuses it with flavor and contributes a firmness of texture. Once it has been cured, I like to cook it at 110°F (43°C) to give it some structure without drying it out any.
