Mastering Cauliflower Sous Vide
SERVINGS: 4
PREP TIME: 20 minutes
COOK TIME: 1-3 hours
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 Large Organic Cauliflower, cut into 1 in thick steak cuts
- 2 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 Tbsp Fresh Cilantro, Finely Chopped
- 1 Tsp, Freshly Squeezed Lime Juice
- 1 Tsp Paprika Powder
- 1 Tsp Cayenne Pepper Powder
- 3 Cloves Garlic, Minced
- Salt & Ground Black Pepper to taste
Dipping Sauce:
- ¼ Cup Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice
- 2 Cloves Garlic
- ½ Cup Tahini
- 1/3 Cup, Filtered Water
- ¼ Tsp Cayenne Pepper Powder
- ¼ Tsp Salt
- ½ Tsp Cumin Powder
PREPARATION:
- Begin by preheating your Vesta Precision water bath to 185 degrees F, an ideal temperature for achieving the perfect texture in your cauliflower sous vide.
- For the dipping sauce, combine all ingredients in a blender. Blend until smooth, adjusting any flavoring to your liking if needed. Place in the refrigerator to chill while the cauliflower steaks cook.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, cilantro, paprika, cayenne pepper, lime juice, and minced garlic to create a vibrant seasoning blend.
- Arrange the cauliflower steaks in a single layer within a 1 or 2 (1 gallon) vacuum pouch(es). Drizzle the seasoning blend over the cauliflower steaks, ensuring they are well-coated. With your choice of Vesta Precision's Vac 'n Seal, Vac 'n Seal Elite, or Chamber Vac Elite, seal the pouch(es) after removing as much air as possible.
- Submerge the sealed pouch(es) in the preheated water bath, cooking for 1 hour to achieve a tender bite, or extend to 3 hours for deeper flavor infusion.
- Once cooked, remove the cauliflower steaks from the vacuum pouches with care, as they will be hot.
- Heat a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Sear the sous vide cauliflower steaks for 1-2 minutes on each side until they develop a golden brown crust.
- To serve, plate the cauliflower steaks with a dollop of the chilled homemade dipping sauce. Garnish with additional cilantro or a sprinkle of paprika for a touch of elegance and enjoy your sous vide cauliflower masterpiece.
