Sous-Vide Cooking for Beginners: Sides
For those who are new to sous-vide cooking, we have been putting together a little series of posts to help you find good starter recipes. As you advance with your sous-vide skills, you’ll no doubt soon be throwing together recipes and meal plans of your own. Until then, feel free to take advantage of these basic starter kits, all of which require only a few ingredients and minimal prep work.
As our friends at Serious Eats point out, not all vegetables lend themselves naturally to the sous-vide method. Carrots are one exception, as indeed are most root vegetables. This simple, elegant recipe for sous-vide carrots will nicely complement almost any entrée. (For a meal in need of more color and variety, try this recipe for a tasty carrots-and asparagus combo.)
To complement your meal with a beautiful, tart splash of red, consider poached cherry tomatoes. With a total prep time of only thirty minutes, you’ll soon be wowing your clients with this bright, tasty side.
Once you have your veggies worked out, plan to serve up healthy portions of rustic roasted garlic mashed potatoes to round out your meal.
