Modernist Recipes: Lobster Tail with Tomato and Corn Salad Recipe

Lobster cooked sous vide is tender and succulent, and this recipe showcases it with a simple tomato and corn salad. I prefer my lobster cooked at 131°F (55°C), but 140°F (60°C) will give you a more traditional texture. For a much softer texture you can drop the temperature lower.

This recipe also works well for other root vegetables such as carrots, radishes, and parsnips. Read the entire entry...

Boar behaves very similarly to pork but has a richer, sometimes nutty flavor. I sous vide it at 140°F (60°C) long enough to cook it through and pasteurize it. This recipe complements the flavor of the meat with a sweet and spicy cherry chutney. Read the entire entry...
