Sous Vide Eggplant Fondue with Eggplant Croquant Recipe image

Sous Vide Eggplant Fondue with Eggplant Croquant Recipe

I've often thought about the early days of the French Laundry cookbook and how it shaped my way of thinking. By no means is it a holy grail of a book; it certainly has its flaws. I mostly admire and draw from the stories and anecdotal sections of recipes like these. There's a section that references cooking eggplant low and slow until it forms a fondue like texture. That line was the single point of inspiration for this technique. We learned a version of the Croquant technique when chef Paul Liebrandt came and did a pop-up at CVI. He's a remarkable chef with unbelievable raw talent. There was a crispy eggplant wafer with chocolate ice cream and a spice from laBoîte NYC called appalonia. This recipe has been streamlined and stripped down for efficiencies.

Lightly seared tuna is one of those lunch meals that tastes great and fills me up without leaving me feeling heavy afterwards. Sometimes I have trouble making sure the middle is warm without overcooking the outside.

Finishing it off with a really quick sear adds some color and texture while leaving the rest of the tuna perfectly done.

Top Round Salad with Watercress and Kale Recipe image

Top Round Salad with Watercress and Kale Recipe

Top round is a very lean but tough piece of meat that really shines with sous vide. After 1 to 2 days it turns very tender.

It takes advantage of the different chile flavors and is very bold and full flavored. When you sous vide the chicken, the dish elevates to a whole new level.
