We snack on carrots quite a bit around the Feed Me Creative studio. At least when we’re trying to be healthy. That natural sugar that makes it a satisfying snack also makes carrots the perfect base for a sweet-and-salty pickle brine. With the Anova Sous Vide Precision Cooker, it’s easy to take this rabbit food to the next level by making pickled petite carrots. When prepared with a simple brine at 190ºF (88ºC) they get a little tenderness while maintaining their structural integrity (read: they’re still crunchy). This recipe makes 10-12 petite carrots. But to double it, simply double the brine and divide everything between two bags before cooking. And if thyme isn’t your thing, try another herb, like rosemary. Something to keep in mind: We’ve found that sous vide pickled vegetables tend to do better on a very strict time setting because they’re being cooked and pickled at the same time.
