Tzatziki, a Greek yogurt sauce with garlic and herbs is great as a dip, on sandwiches, and with many fried foods, including fish. This one calls for homemade sous vide yogurt. You’ll need a candy thermometer to ensure that your milk doesn’t scorch on the stovetop before everything goes into the water bath. NOTE: When you’re cooking something for this long, be sure to check the water level in your pot from time to time. You’ll most likely lose some to evaporation and you need to keep enough water in your vessel to keep your Anova Sous Vide Precision Cooker running. We’ve found that covering it with plastic wrap or foil really helps with water loss.
