TCD 011| Heirloom Tomato Capresse

By jacob burton
Heirloom Tomato Caprese Salad - Video Recipe

Heirloom tomatoes are a special crop that I look forward to every year. Unlike other common supermarket tomatoes that have had their flavor bred out of them (not to mention they're usually picked green and forced ripened using ethylene gas), heirlooms are true, unique strains of tomatoes that haven't been messed with. Each variety of heirloom tomato has it's own unique color, flavor and shape, just like nature intended. And did I mention that they're absolutely delicious and about to hit their peak?

TCD 010| Sous Vide (Crispy Skin) Chicken Breast with Spring Vegetables

By jacob burton
Sous Vide Chicken Breast with Spring Vegetables - Video Recipe

This video demonstrates how we prepare and cook our sous vide chicken breast that we're currently serving with sauted spring vegetables and a reduced shallot jus.

The chicken breast is first brined for 24 hours in a 5% brine and then rinsed. Next, the chicken breast is vacuum packed individually and cooked sous vide in 60ºC/140ºF water bath for 4 hours. On "the pickup," the chicken breast is cut out of the sous vide package and the skin is pressed into rice flour and then pan fried in chicken fat.

What makes this sous vide chicken breast great ...

SB 004| How To Make A Basic Loaf Of Sourdough Bread

By jacob burton
How to Make a Basic Sourdough Boule - Video Recipe

In a previous Stella Bread Video, I demonstrated how to make a sourdough starter that could later be used to naturally levin any type of bread you desire. In this video, we take that starter and bake our first sourdough loaf, a 70% hydration boule that uses a large percentage of poolish starter for a quick rise, a small amount or whole wheat for a complex flavor, and a cast iron dutch oven to replicate a traditional hearth.

SB 003| How To Make A Sourdough Starter

By jacob burton
How to Make a Sourdough Starter - Video Technique

In this video I use an extremely simple method that calls for mixing flour with warm water, allowing it to sit for 48-72 hours until yeast activity begins, and then refresh/feed at set intervals for about five days, or until the starter is strong enough to levin a loaf of bread. If you've been around since the Free Culinary School Podcast days, you'll remember that in our sourdough series I recommended using fruit peels (apples/grapes) to inoculate your water and flour mixture with natural yeast.

SNS 004| Classic Beurre Blanc Sauce

By jacob burton
How to Make Sauce Beurre Blanc - Video Index

This video will teach you how to make a classic pan using white wine and butter. Beurre meaning "butter" and "blanc" meaning white, this sauce is classically paired with fish, vegetables, and light poultry dishes. For a heavier flavor that's more appropriate for red meat, you can make a beurre rouge by swapping red wine for the white.
