Description

Sous vide Asparagus is so simple! You only need three ingredients and the asparagus is perfectly cooked every time. 


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 225g (1/2lb) asparagus
  • 30ml (2 tbsp) butter
  • salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the sous vide machine to 85°C (185°F).
  2. Remove the woody stem from each asparagus, if there is any.
  3. Wash the asparagus then pat them dry. 
  4. Place the asparagus in a vacuum sealable bag in a single layer if possible. Mine turned out to be 2 layers deep. 
  5. Add the butter to it, then vacuum seal the bag. 
  6. When the water bath’s desired temperature has been reached, place the bag in the machine and cook for 45 minutes but no longer than 60 minutes. 
  7. After the allotted time, remove the asparagus from the bag, season to preference and season immediately. Enjoy!

Notes

  • This recipe works for green and white asparagus.
  • If you like lemon, you can add 15ml (1 tbsp) of lemon zest to the asparagus before vacuum sealing them.
