Description :
In order to have portions of black salsify vegetables prepared that can also be stored well chilled for a few weeks, it is advisable to define the portions right away during the preparation.
The finished portions now find their place in the refrigerator and can be regenerated easily and quickly, even in the microwave in the unopened bag.
The procedure shown here uses the cook & chill principle in connection with sous-vide cooking.
This means that the salsify cannot be overcooked, has a consistent consistency and always tastes the same, with no surprises.
