Sous Vide Pickled Fennel

Fennel is definitely an acquired taste. If you’ve acquired it (or maybe even if you haven’t) you’ll love this sous vide pickled fennel recipe, made with the Anova Sous Vide Precision Cooker. We like to put it in our salads, and sometimes serve it with fish. This will keep in the fridge within an air-tight jar or container for up to one month.
