Sous Vide is super easy once you get the idea behind slow low cooking. Especially in the Thermomix. You do not need the TM6, perfect in all of them.

Step preview

  1. Place rice into the simmering basket
  2. Rinse it with water straight into the Thermomix bowl (over the top of the rice)
  3. Steam for 30 min, 100°C, speed 3
  4. Tip into a large bowl and drizzle with plenty of EVOO while you allow it to cool
  5. Move onto cooking the fish
  6. Place the fish fillets into a stasher bag or vacuum sealed bag with EVOO, salt, lemon juice and basil
  7. Remove as much air as possible and refrigerate for up to 48 hours
  8. Add water to the Thermomix bowl
  9. Place the stasher bag with the fish in it, into the simmering basket
  10. You may need to push it down, but try and keep the fish shape intact as much as possible
  11. Cook for 40 min, 60°C, speed 2
  12. Check that the fish is done by opening up the bag and flaking a piece of fish with a fork
  13. If it is soft and breaks easily you are ready
  14. Otherwise, add more cooking time in 5 minute increments
  15. Set aside (still in the bag) while you prepare the salad
  16. Toss the rice with all remaining ingredients and season to taste
  17. Add cracked pepper if you wish
  18. Serve the salad on individual plates, topped with a piece of fish, then using a microplane, zest the lemon and finely grate plenty of parmesan on top of the salad and the fish
  19. Serve immediately
