Ingredients for 8
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus extra for serving

2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
Kosher salt

Directions
-
Step 1
Set the Anova Sous Vide Precision Cooker to 183ºF (83.9ºC).
-
Step 2
Heat olive oil in medium skillet over medium heat. When the oil is shimmering, add the onion, garlic, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Sauté until onion is softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add chile flakes and stir to combine. Remove from the heat and let cool.
-
Step 3
Divide cauliflower, apple, onion mixture, and 1/4 teaspoon salt between two large zipper lock or vacuum seal bags. Seal the bags using the water immersion technique or a vacuum sealer on the moist setting.
-
Step 4
Place the bag in the water bath and set the timer for 1 hour. If using the immersion method to seal the bag, you may need to weigh down the bag to keep it submerged.
