Sous Vide 36-hour Pork Carnitas

Sous Vide 36-hour Pork Carnitas

Finally found a delicious recipe over at Stefan’s Gourmet Blog for Pork Carnitas that turned out marvelously for a dinner party we had the other night. Everyone of our guests commented how juicy and tender the pork was. Winner! Due to laziness of not wanting to make our own pork stock in Stefan’s original recipe, we substituted chicken stock instead and the dish didn’t seem to miss a beat.

Perfect Sous Vide Runny (Slow Cooked) Eggs

When I was a kid, the thing that I looked forward to the most on the weekends was my mom’s soft-boiled eggs on toast. It consisted of a seemingly perfect soft boiled egg (a runny yolk, yet firm white), slightly salted on top of a buttered slice of toast.

Simple Sous Vide Dulce de Leche

Simple Sous Vide Dulce de Leche

Dulce de Leche is a dessert popular in South America, and something I’ve always loved. It literally is translated as “candy of milk” or “milk candy” and is made by very slowly heating milk which causes the sugars to caramelize.

Sous Vide Country Style Pork Ribs with Dijon Sauce

Finally, a sous vide pork dish that my wife liked. I’ve had a couple of duds with pork… which was very surprising to me given how much I love the stuff. But, after some soul-searching and taste testing, I decided that I was just being too light on the salt. I upped the amount of salt I was using, and it worked like a charm

Sous Vide Lamb Chops with Garlic Herbed Butter

Sous Vide Lamb Chops with Garlic Herbed Butter

This is hands down one of the tastiest dishes I’ve made so far via sous vide, and to top it off, it’s crazy simple.

The sous vide cook time is a mere 2 hours for the lamb chops plus any additional time for your side dishes or other accompaniments. Personally, I love lamb chops served with roasted vegetables like red and orange peppers, onions and asparagus. An alternative is to serve it with a grilled soft fruit (my personal favorite being peaches when in season).
