What Started it all:
Cod, Cucumber, cereal, sous vide
<em>(Confidently sears the cod in the skillet, creating a sizzling sound)</em>
Ingredients
- 4 pieces of fresh Cod
- 2 cucumbers, thinly sliced
- 1 cup of cereal (your choice)
- Sous vide machine
Instructions
- Start by preparing the sous vide machine and setting it to 130°F (54°C).
- Season the cod with salt and pepper, then vacuum seal each piece separately.
- Place the sealed cod in the sous vide machine and cook for 20 minutes.
- While the cod is cooking, prepare the cucumber salad by tossing the thinly sliced cucumbers in a bowl with a drizzle of olive oil and a splash of white wine vinegar. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- In a separate bowl, mix the cereal with a bit of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Heat a pan over medium-high heat and add the cereal mixture, toasting it until golden brown and fragrant.
- Once the cod is done, carefully remove it from the sous vide machine and pat dry with paper towels.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the cod for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve the bold Italian cod alongside the sous vide cucumber salad, topped with the toasted cereal for added crunch.
