Did you brown the meatballs? or just add them to the sauce..only 2 hours?  hmmm..time for me to make more meatballs..time for sammiches. I don't make spaghetti sauce any more..just make my own marinara.   .☆´¯`•.¸¸. ི♥ྀ.

Meatballs stayed intact, tender and very meaty.
The one issue I had, after comparing the sauce with the one I jarred, the sous vide sauce kind of got a little watery.

Pam my balls were about 4-5 oz.

Akruckus, very little to no difference with regular meatballs done in a pot of sauce.

Good to know.  Maybe the bagged sauce had the extra juice from the meatballs, making it "woodery" (aka watery)?

Exactly! Pot lets evaporation take place.

Nope, rolled and dropped in bag. Just two hours. I probed them when I got them out of the hot tub time machine.

Leftover plate.
Sometimes I get back from the gym starving and my mind runs wild in kitchen.
This is one of those times. I had planned on making a sandwich with leftover smoked beef short ribs. Tossed that in the hot tub time machine at 135 degrees to warm up.
Change of plans, I sliced some bella mushrooms, throw them in ghee



Had some leftover chorizo and mushrooms from an omelette that I made earlier for the wife. Can't waste that.



sliced some green onions, saute that with the mushrooms. Season with mixed pepper corns and salt



Oh look! rice in the refrigerator



Let's put it all together.



And it was a fantastic meal!!

Let's do Thai style chicken thingamajig.
Chop up some boneless skinless chicken thighs. Then run them through a food processor.





Now get about 2 tablespoons of coconut cream. I rarely use coconut milk, I prefer the cream. Trader Joe's makes great coconut cream.
Add that to a large bowl, add some fish sauce, cumin, Thai red curry paste, lemongrass paste, finely diced red bell peppers, grated garlic, grated ginger and cilantro.



Mix that mess



Add the Chicken and season with salt, mix well.



Here you can cover and let it firm up in the refrigerator.
Then form patties.



Fry em up
I used a mini skillet


You can go low carb with julienned carrots and cucumbers.



With peanut sauce



Or make a sammich.



Fantastic!
If you make this for adults only, mix in some Sriracha with the Chicken.

Keeping it simple and light.

Arugula and white beans salad. Dressed in lemon and olive oil.



For shrimp, I like to brine it for 15 minutes. Then toss in peanut oil, smoked paprika and cumin.  Sear in hot cast iron skillet.
