Ingredients for 2
4 rabbit loins, trimmed
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 strips bacon, cut in half
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon champagne vinegar
Directions
-
Step 1
Set the Anova Sous Vide Precision Cooker to 135°F (57°C).
-
Step 2
Season the rabbit loins with salt and pepper.
-
Step 3
For each portion, lay four halves of bacon side by side on a cutting board. Set two of the loins on top of the bacon and wrap the loins together tightly with the bacon. You can secure the bacon-wrapped loins with butcher’s twine, though it’s not necessary if you handle them carefully. Repeat with remaining loins and bacon.
-
Step 4
Place the bacon-wrapped loins each in their own large zipper lock or vacuum seal bag. Seal the bags using the water immersion technique or a vacuum sealer on the dry setting. Place in the water bath and set the timer for 3 hours.

Finishing Steps
