MINTED SOUS VIDE CARROTS WITH BALSAMIC VINEGAR AND GOAT CHEESE
WITH 2 COMMENTS
The best sous vide vegetables are root vegetables. These sous vide carrots are fresh, rich and delicious. They are cooked at a relatively high sous vide temperature of 183 degrees F and then briefly sauteed in a pan to create a glaze. The prep is simple and you can ignore them for an hour while they hang out in the sous vide bath. Sous vide carrots cook in their own juices giving them a dense carrot flavor and great texture.

MAKE-AHEAD GRAVY
WITH NO COMMENTS
Make ahead-gravy takes a little time, but most of that time is inactive. You can make it in one day, but I prefer to make gravy a two-day process. You make the stock the first day, refrigerate it, make the gravy the second day and then pack it up in the freezer until Thanksgiving day. You can make your gravy a day before Thanksgiving or a month before. Either way making your gravy ahead of time will make serving Thanksgiving dinner so much easier and more enjoyable.
