@joesaintjohn:

I would definitely love to. You have a good recipe? This harissa was a gift from a friend.

I use the Saveur recipe: https://www.saveur.com/article/Recipes/Harissa

The kind of dried chiles you use is not super important if you're not aiming for 100% authenticity. In the US we mostly find dried chiles that come from the Latin American cuisines and they work fine. Experiment with different ones.

[JDelage]

Wow….

[bryaneidins70]

What is that you're cooking it in @Matty123 ??

[Matty123]

I’m not sure if you mean the container or the method so I’ll Explain the both. Im cooking it with a Nomiku brand immersion circulator. The method is a Sous vide water bath. Food is cooked in vacuum sealed bags to precise temperatures.  I can explain that more if you’d like. The container is a 10 quart Cambro bucket. I covered the bucket with plastic wrap so the water does not evaporate. It’s a 12 hour cook so I’d lose all the water if I didn’t cover it:

@bryaneidins70 it’s a great way to cook anything. You’ve most likely eaten Sous vide cooked food at many Restaraunts but maybe didn’t know. They are affordable for home purchase now. Between 100-300 US. I like
To cook steaks this way. I sear them first then vacuum seal and put them in a water bath at 130F for 1 hour. Then a quick sear again. Perfect medium rare from the first bit to the last. Confit duck legs are unbelievable wit this method as well. And any vegetable tastes better. I could
Go on for days

My first try at pork belly bao

[neph93]

Oh you barsteward, now I'm hungry. Are those steamed buns? Pork belly look fekkin nice.

[Matty123]

Thanks man. Yeah those are steamed buns. The pork came out great for My first try. My wife loved it. That’s good enough for me 

Anyone who likes to cook should buy an immersion circulator. Next level food at home.

[bryaneidins70]

Is that from the vacuum @Matty123?

Interesting read about the method. I bet it is so tender, melt in the mouth stuff.
