INGREDIENTS

• 3 strips thick bacon, cut in half
• 6 large eggs
• ½ cup shredded Gruyere
• 1/4 cup small curd cottage cheese
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley or chives
• chopped green onions or herbs for garnish, if desired

Note: You’ll need a 6-cup silicone muffin tin or 6 ramekins

DIRECTIONS

1. To properly set the level of water in the SousVide Supreme:
   a. Raise the perforated bottom grill by placing it atop a non-rusting/stainless baking rack.
   b. Fill the wells of a 6-well silicone muffin pan (or the ramekins) with water and position them on the raised perforated grill.
2. Fill the water oven with just enough water to come up the sides of the wells, but not reaching the top surface of the tray or the rims of the ramekins.
3. Remove the muffin pan or ramekins, empty the wells into the sink, and dry them well.
4. Preheat the SousVide Supreme water oven to 167F.
5. Cook the bacon in a skillet on the stovetop until the bacon is cooked but still pliable. Set aside.
6. In a bowl, beat the eggs well.
7. Add the cheese, cottage cheese, and salt and beat until well combined.
8. Stir in the pepper and parsley or chives.
9. Line each well with one slice of bacon, divide the egg mixture evenly among the wells.
10. Carefully lower the filled muffin pan or ramekins into the water oven and tent with a piece of aluminum foil to deflect any drips of condensation from the lid.
11. Cook in the water bath for 40 minutes, or until fully set.
12. Remove and let cool briefly. Serve.
13. If not eating all the bites, let them cool fully, unmold, and store in an airtight snap-lid container in the refrigerator for later use. Reheat, covered by paper towel, in the microwave for 30 to 45 seconds.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 medium cauliflower, cut into florets*
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon curry powder
• ½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
• ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste
• 1 small onion, peeled and diced
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 quart vegetable stock
• ¼ cup heavy cream

For garnish (optional)

• 1 handful flat-leaf parsley, stems discarded, coarsely chopped
• 2 slices bacon, chopped small, and cooked crisp
• Reserved tiny florets (*keep a few very tiny florets for topping)

DIRECTIONS

1. Fill and preheat the SousVide Supreme water oven to 180F
2. Put all ingredients, except stock and cream, into a large cooking pouch and vacuum seal. Spread the contents to get the florets evenly distributed in thickness.
3. Submerge the pouch to cook for 1 to 1 ½ hours.
4. Check cauliflower for tenderness by pinching a floret through the pouch. It should squash easily. If not, continue to cook for another 20 to 30 minutes.
5. Remove from the water oven when tender. Open the pouch and pour the all contents into a blender or food processor. Do not drain.
6. Add all the heavy cream and the stock, a bit at a time, blending until smooth and the consistency you desire for your soup.
7. Taste for seasons and adjust with salt or pepper as needed.
8. Ladle into warm bowls and garnish with the parsley, bacon, and fresh tiny florets, if desired.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 pound unsalted butter

DIRECTIONS

1. Fill and preheat the SousVide Supreme water oven to 185F/85C.
2. Put the butter into a small (quart/0.9 liter) cooking pouch and vacuum seal.
3. Submerge the pouch in the water oven to cook for 30 minutes.
4. Carefully remove the pouch, check to see that the solids have separated and if so, cut off a corner of the pouch and pour the liquid clarified butter into a pint glass jar with a screw-top lid. (If not fully separated, return to the bath for 15 minutes more.)
5. Refrigerate until the butter has solidified. Any water content will have settled at the bottom of the jar. You can take a knife or skewer and pierce the butter to the bottom and pour the water out, if you desire.
6. Store in the refrigerator and use as needed.

DIRECTIONS

1. Fill and preheat the SousVide Supreme to 165F/74C.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together all ingredients for the lime marinade.

6. Pour this marinade over the chicken and rub it into the flesh.
7. Cover the pie plate with plastic wrap and refrigerate to marinate for 1 hour.
8. Remove the thighs from the refrigerator and pat with paper towel to remove excess marinade. Put them into a gallon zip-closure cooking pouch, in a single layer, and vacuum seal; if using a suction vacuum, be careful to force the seal before any marinade creeps up into the suction ports.
9. Submerge the pouch in the water oven to cook for 1 hour.
10. Meanwhile, make the sauce on the stovetop in a large, heavy-bottomed soup pot.
11. In the pot, heat the oil over medium heat; add the onion and sauté until translucent and limp.
12. Add the diced tomatoes and salt and simmer for another 10 minutes or so.
13. Add ½ cup water and puree until smooth with an immersion blender (or cool slightly and transfer to a blender to puree and then transfer back to the pot.)
14. Stir in the Garlic Ginger Paste, paprika, Sriracha, garam masala and cumin.
15. Open the pouch of thighs and pour the accumulated juices into the sauce and stir.
16. Add the thighs to the sauce, arranging in a single layer as much as possible. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for several minutes more.
17. Add the butter and continue to cook and stir, until the butter has fully melted into the sauce.
18. Adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper as desired and, finally, stir in the cream.
