Course Dessert
Cuisine American
Prep Time 8 hours 30 minutes
Cook Time 1 hour 30 minutes
Total Time 10 hours

Ingredients

  • 2 cups 497 grams canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1 cup 213 grams dark brown sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2/3 cups 158 mL heavy cream, plus more, whipped, for serving
  • 2/3 cup 158 mL whole milk
  • 2 teaspoons 5 grams ground ginger
  • 2 teaspoons 5 grams ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon 2.5 grams ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon 3 grams salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon 0.5 grams ground cloves
  • 9 honey graham crackers 142 grams, broken into medium pieces
  • 2 tablespoons 25 grams granulated sugar
  • 5 tablespoons 71 grams unsalted butter, melted and kept warm

Instructions

  1. Set the Anova Sous Vide Precision Cooker to 176ºF (80ºC). Heat oven to 325ºF (163ºC).
  2. Combine pumpkin, brown sugar, and eggs in the bowl of a food processor. Process until mixture is smooth, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Transfer to a large bowl, preferably with a spout.
  3. Clean food processor bowl and blade.
  4. Add cream, milk, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and cloves to the pumpkin mixture. Stir to mix well.
  5. Carefully transfer pumpkin mixture to a large zipper lock bag. Seal the bag using the water immersion technique.
  6. Place the bag in the water bath and set the timer for 1 1/2 hours.
  7. Meanwhile, make the crust: Combine graham crackers and sugar in the now-clean food processor. Process until graham crackers are ground into fine crumbs, about 1 minute.
  8. With processor running, slowly pour melted butter through the feed tube. Continue to process until mixture is the texture of wet sand, 15 to 20 seconds.
  9. Transfer graham cracker mixture to a 9-inch pie plate. Using your hands, spread the mixture evenly across the bottom and sides of the pie plate. Use the bottom of a dry measuring cup or drinking class to press mixture into a compact layer.
  10. Bake crust until firm and golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack and let cool completely.

Finishing Steps

  1. When the timer goes off, remove the bag from the water bath. Transfer to a plate and let cool for 15 minutes. When the bag is cool enough to handle, cut off one of the bottom corners with scissors. Pipe pumpkin mixture into cooled crust. Use a spatula to smooth the top.
  2. Transfer pie to the refrigerator and chill until set, around 8 hours or overnight. Bring the pie to cool room temperature before slicing and serving with freshly whipped cream.

Sous Vide Oxtail Recipe

Sous Vide Oxtail Recipe

Cow’s tail is not something you usually see in a restaurant. It is more or less traditional English meal so if you have never tried or cooked some don’t be too surprised. Its best used in soups and stews but you can serve it as a main dish as well if you are able to get it to be tender and juicy. This can be achieved by following this Sous Vide Oxtail Recipe.

Course Main Course
Keyword Sous Vide Oxtail Recipe
Prep Time 30 minutes
Cook Time 1 day
Total Time 1 day 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 whole oxtail cut at the joints into 7–9 pieces, as needed
  • Salt and pepper as needed
  • 60 g Butter
  • 3 Shallots cut into quarters
  • 3 Garlic cloves sliced
  • Rosemary sprig 1–2, as needed
  • 250 ml Red wine
  • 55 ml Ready-made demi-glace meat stock

Season and sear

  • 1 whole oxtail cut at the joints into 7–9 pieces, as needed
  • Salt and pepper as needed

Make pan sauce

  • 60 g Butter
  • 3 Shallots cut into quarters
  • 3 Garlic cloves sliced
  • Rosemary sprig 1–2, as needed
  • 250 ml Red wine
  • 55 ml Ready-made demi-glace meat stock

Instructions

  1. Pre Heat your Sous Vide. For succulent and fork-tender, we recommend cooking at 167 °F / 75 °C for 24 hours.
  2. Oxtail refers to the tail of the cow. Portions from the top have more meat on – ask your butcher to slice it into pieces, like we did. Although there is a high bone-to-meat ratio on this cut, the flesh can be tough if not cooked correctly. The tail is full of health-giving collagen and gelatin, adding great flavour to soups, stews, and stocks.
  3. Season the meat with salt and black pepper. Heat a frying pan to medium-high temperature, add a splash of oil, and begin searing the oxtail portions. These are really tough cuts so don’t feel the need to rush, you won’t overcook them.
  4. Wipe your pan clean with some kitchen towel. Add the butter, shallots, garlic, and rosemary. Caramelise the shallots and deglaze with red wine. Reduce down and then mix in the ready-made demi-glace meat stock. Note: Ready-made demi-glace meat stock is available from good supermarkets.
  5. Place the oxtail portions in a food-grade, freezer-style bag with the sauce, rosemary, shallots, and garlic. Remove as much of the air as possible, but note that no vacuum sealing is required for this recipe.
  6. Remember, the water in your pot will get hot enough to cook your food – treat your work surface accordingly! Place a trivet beneath the pot to help protect your countertop, or use whatever precautions you normally would when exposing your counter to a dish, pot, or pan you just removed from the oven or stove.
  7. Put your Sous Vide in the water and, when it is at the right temperature, lower the bag slowly into the saucepan. For long cooking times such as this, it’s important to cover your saucepan with plastic wrap to reduce evaporation. Do not cover. Tip: If your bag floats to the top, add a spoon inside it to weigh it down.
  8. Remove the chunks of oxtail from the bag and present on a bed of polenta, for example. Oxtail also goes well with mashed potato or butternut squash.

Sous Vide Char Siu Recipe

Course Main Course
Cuisine Chinese
Prep Time 1 hour
Cook Time 8 hours
Total Time 9 hours

Ingredients

  • 1 kg pork neck

Marinade

  • 6 scallions sliced into 2 inch lengths and smashed
  • 8 garlic cloves smashed and peeled
  • 3 tablespoons regular soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Chinese rice wine
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 2.5 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 2 tablespoons rich chicken stock
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

Instructions

  1. Mix all the marinade ingredients together well.
  2. Cut the pork lengthwise into strips around 2.5-3 inches wide and 2 inches or so thick. Cut strips crosswise, if needed, into pieces 6-8 inches long. Place in a large baking dish that can accomodate all the pork in one layer. Pour the marinade over the pork. Seal the dish with clingwrap overnight, at least 12 hours and up to 36 hours. Turn the pork a few times during the marinating process. Keep in the fridge.
  3. Prepare a water bath, using an immersion circulator, and bring the water to 58 degrees Celsius.
  4. Place each piece of pork, with some marinade, into a vacuum-sealable bag and seal at high pressure.
  5. Drop the bags into the water bath and cook for 24 hours. Once done, prepare an ice water bath and plunge the bags of pork directly into the ice water. Once cool, dry off the bags and either freeze or put in the fridge. Or open the bags, liberate your pork, and move to the final step of finishing off the pork.

Finishing Sauce (enough for two strips)

  1. 1 teaspoon salt
  2. 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
  3. 2 teaspoons honey
  4. Mix the above together and taste. It should be salty-sweet.
  5. Preheat your oven to the highest temperature it can go. Pour some water into a roasting pan. Over the pan, place a large wire rack that fits over the top of the pan.
  6. Brush as much of the finishing sauce onto the strips of pork. You want it thick. Lay the pork on the wire rack (and over the water in the roasting pan). Pop this in the oven for 10 minutes or until the surface of the char siu is nicely charred.
  7. Alternatively, instead of using the oven blowtorch the pork until charred.
