Ingredients for 2

  • 2 blue swimmer crabs (or similar)

  • 2 green apples, grated (ideally with a serrated grater)

  • ¼ cup (59 ml) cherry tomatoes, halved

  • ¼ cup (59 ml) cilantro, chopped

  • 2 small red chillies, chopped

  • 2 cloves of garlic, crushed

  • 2 tbs (30 ml) fish sauce

  • 3 tbs (30 ml) lime juice

  • 2 tbs (30 ml) palm sugar (or light brown sugar)

Directions

  • Step 1

    Preheat Anova sous vide machine to 154.4F (68C).

  • Step 2

    Boil a pot of water and boil the crabs for 60 seconds. Then chop the legs and pincers off the crab and seal in bags (chopping the extremities off just helps get a seal/vacuum around the crabs for cooking sous vide).

  • Step 3

    Put the bags into the water bath and set the timer on your Anova to 45 mins - when finished cooking sous vide, plunge the bags of crab into an ice bath.

    • Finishing Steps

    • Step 0

      Combine all dressing ingredients.

    • Step 1

      Take all of the meat out of the crab.

    • Step 2

      Toss dressing with all of the salad ingredients, add the crab and serve.
