Sous Vide Pickled Asparagus

We love this pickled asparagus (perhaps even more than its steamed or roasted counterpart) because it’s crunchy and tart. It aligns wonderfully with grilled chicken and makes for a perfect, healthy snack. Plus — thanks to the Anova Sous Vide Precision Cooker — it’s prepared in just 30 minutes. This asparagus will keep in the fridge in an air-tight jar or container for up to one month.
