Sous Vide Recipes

cleaning artichokes

Under vacuum. This modern trend of cooking sous vide is a literal translation of the French phrase, under vacuum. Using a tool called an immersion circulator, foods are cooked in a controlled low oxygen environment at a lower temperature for a longer period of time. This method of cooking allows sensitive items like eggs, sauces, fish, meat, and much more to cook at a slower rate. Proteins bind, fats melt slowly and render, fish maintains moisture and flakiness, and meat evenly cooks to desired temperatures. Cooking is a series of controlled chemical reactions that we put together into something delicious and beautiful. Experience a variety of textures, a depth of marinated flavor, and a scientific approach to food preparation.

Eggs: Sous Vide

Chef Leah Burback
These eggs are cooked with the sous vide method to reach the most indulgent textured egg yolk and a white that is cooked yet soft and supple. These eggs are great for benedicts, ramen, pasta, soup, and so much more.

Course Appetizer, sauce, Side Dish
Cuisine American, French
Servings 4 people

Equipment

  • blender

Ingredients
  

Hollandaise

  • 10 Tbsp unsalted butter if using salted butter, skip the added salt
  • 3 each egg yolks see how to separate eggs
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice
  • ½ tsp salt
  • â…› tsp cayenne optional

Artichokes

  • 2 each Fresh artichokes look for bright colors and heavy feel
  • 2 slices Lemon
  • 2 each Bay leaf
  • 2 each Garlic cloves

Instructions
 

Hollandaise Sauce

  • Melt the butter on low in a small pot. Try not to let it boil—you want the moisture in the butter to remain there and not steam away.
  • Add the egg yolks, lemon juice, salt and cayenne into your blender. Blend the egg yolk mixture at a medium to medium high speed until it lightens in color, about 20-30 seconds.
  • Once the yolks have lightened in color, turn the blender down to its lowest setting (if you only have one speed on your blender it will still work), and drizzle in the hot melted butter slowly, while the blender is going. Continue to blend for another couple seconds after the butter is all incorporated. Take care not to blend too high or too long to over thicken.
  • Turn off the blender and taste the sauce. It should be buttery, lemony and just lightly salty. If needed, you can add a little lemon juice or salt to taste.
  • If you want a thinner consistency, add a little warm water. Pulse briefly to incorporate the ingredients one more time.
  • Store until needed in a warm spot and use within an hour or so. Store any unused in an airtight container. Warm over a double boiler and blend on low until smooth once more.

Steamed Artichokes

  • With a pair of kitchen scissors, snip off the tips of the artichoke leaves, they're sharp. With a super-sharp, heavy-duty knife, lop off the top of the artichoke – about 3/4 of an inch worth and cut off the stem at just below the base of the artichoke so that it will sit flat. Remove the bottom row of leaves. Rinse well under cold water.
    cleaning artichokes
  • Fill a large pot with about two inches of water and set in the artichokes, bottom side down. Optional: add a bay leaf, a slice of lemon, and/or a garlic clove. Set on the stove and bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the temperature on the water to medium, reducing it to a simmer.
    blank
  • Cover and steam the artichokes for about 30-40 minutes, until tender. You can check for doneness by inserting the tip of a knife into the bottom (if it goes in with only a little resistance they're done) or by pulling off a tester leaf (it should come off easily). Remove from water, allow to cool a bit, and serve with warm hollandaise or garlic herb butter.

  • Season Beef with salt and pepper on all sides.
  • Place tenderloin and all other ingredients in a vacuum bag of your choice, remove most of the air from the bag.
  • Place sealed bag in waterbath, double checking for water leaks, and cook for 2 hours and 30 minutes.
  • Heat a cast iron saute pan or grill to a medium high heat. If doing so indoors on a stove, be sure to use a hood vent to not smoke out the house. Add a small amount of high heat oil to the pan, once heated just before searing.
  • Remove the tenderloin from the bag, careful to reserve the aromatics, butter and juices inside. Sear beef on two flat sides until deep golden brown and carmelized.

Try some Celtic-American favorites for this cheery March holiday! Learn about a bit of the history that brings this food meaning.

We have included some of our favorite recipes for a braised dish of Coddle, Irish Brown Bread, and Cottage Pie with Colcannon. Coddle in the Dublin style is a sausage, bacon, root vegetable, and cabbage slow braise that can be made ahead of time to enjoy after a hard day’s work. Brown bread is a lightly sweet molasses quick bread to help absorb all the rich broth or sauce from any good comfort food. Cottage Pie or Shepherd’s Pie is the most well-known Celtic style recipe that has been used and adapted by farmers, ranchers, shepherds of all kinds. The name of the pie is traditionally based on the meat protein used and who tends to these animals during the harsh March weather.

Prep Time 40 minutes
Cook Time 1 hour
Cooling/Decorating Time 1 hour 30 minutes
Total Time 3 hours 10 minutes
Course Dessert
Cuisine American, Eastern European, German

Ingredients
  

Cake Batter

  • 200 g beet root medium, washed about 2 (or 3 small)
  • ¼ cup hot water
  • ½ cup cocoa powder
  • ½ cup firmly packed brown sugar
  • ½ cup local honey
  • ½ cup milk
  • 3 each eggs lightly whisked
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups self-raising flour sifted

Cream Cheese Icing

  • 1 cup icing sugar sifted
  • 5 oz cream cheese

Chocolate ganache

  • 1½ cup chocolate chopped or chips, your choice of dark or milk
  • 9 oz cream

Instructions
 

Cake Batter

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Brush a 8" round spring form cake pan with the melted butter to lightly grease. Line the base with non-stick parchment paper.
  • Cut the top and bottoms off of the beet roots, lightly oil, wrap in foil and bake until an inserted knife comes out of the roots easily. Let cool slightly and the peels should come right off with your hand, no peeler required.
  • Place cooked beets, hot water and cocoa powder in a food processor and blend until smooth.
  • Add the sugar, honey and eggs, and mix until smooth.
  • Combine the milk, oil and vanilla in a liquid measuring cup and reserve.
  • Place your beet mixture in a mixing bowl and fold in half the flour and then half the milk mixture until just combined. Repeat with the remaining flour and then the remaining milk mixture.
  • Pour the cake mixture into the prepared pan. Bake in preheated oven for 55-60 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the centre of the cake comes out clean. Set aside for 5 minutes and then turn onto a wire rack to cool.
  • For a little valentine's flair, consider using a 4 inch round pan and a 4 in square pan. Split the batter in two even amounts. Once baked and cooled, cut the round cake in half to create two half circles. Place these on a cake pan with the square positioned like a diamond, on the top two edges, creating a heart shape!

Cream Cheese Icing

  • Whip the room temperature cream cheese until light and fluffy. On low gradually add the powdered sugar and whip until fluffy and stiff peaks form.
  • This is a great place to add a bit of raspberry extract, cherry liqueur, brandy, or whatever you fancy. Use as a filling or topping.

Chocolate Ganache

  • Pour the cream into a medium pot and heat on low it until it is not quite boiling, take care not to scald. You’ll know it’s ready when bubbles start to form around the edge of the pot.
  • Remove from the heat and pour over the chocolate in a heat proof mixing bowl. Let stand for 2 minutes, then stir until the chocolate is fully melted into the cream, this should be smooth and shiny. Don't fret if it doesn't come together right away, once the chocolate emulsifies with the fat of the cream it will become smooth melty and delicious.
  • Use as a filling or topping.

Notes

Consider using fresh fruits like raspberries or strawberries on top. Get a bit more festive with honey roasted beets cut out in heart shapes!

  • 6 Tbsp butter or coconut oil, beef fat, or bacon fat
