Sous Vide Chicken Roulade with Goat Cheese, Peppers and Arugula Recipe


fort lauderdale catering





Sous  vide or literally cooking under is a technique that leaves the protein soft, and succulent.  You do need to sear it afterwards or as a client said, “everything is just bland looking”.  


Serves 4


4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup/120g soft goat cheese (chevre)
1 medium red pepper, roasted and  cut into julienne strips
2 handfuls  loosely packed arugula
salt & pepper for seasoning
1 teaspoon/5ml olive oil
1 tablespoon butter


Set your sous vide cooker to 155ºF/68ºC.  Pat dry your chicken breast and place between 1 long piece of cling film  folded over. Pound with a mallet until it is approximately 1cm thick, a little over 1/4 inch.  Season liberally on both sides with salt & pepper. Spread 2 tablespoons/30g of goat cheese on each piece.  Top each piece with 1/4 of the roasted red peppers. Top that with 1/4 of the arugula. Working from the narrower end if there is one, roll up like a burrito. Set aside on a plate and repeat the process with the other.encased.  Place each roulade into a long piece of cling film. Roll up. Holding both “open” ends roll forward until a tight log is formed. Tie the ends. If you have a food sealer. Place the roulades in a bag and seal. If you don’t place the wrapped roulades into a zip-locking bag, making sure you have a little space between them. Using the immersion method, get as much air out of the bag as possible. Water will form an airtight vacuum, just don’t immerse the top. Clip to the side of the pot. Place the bag of roulades into the bath and set the timer for 90 minutes.  Remove from the water when the timer goes off. Unwrap the roulades. In a saute pan on medium high heat add the butter and olive oil When butter is melted place the roulades in the pan and cook on all sides for a total of 3-4 minutes or they are nicely browned. Removed from the plate and serve, sliced on the diagonal.

September 14 is National Cream Filled Donut Day

September 14 is National Cream Filled Donut Day! Whether you enjoy chocolate, vanilla, lemon or ganache filling in your donut, today is the perfect day to enjoy these sweet treats! Donuts came to the United States in the mid-1800s through Dutch settlers that were known for their pastries. The first donut with a hole in the middle is said to be a creation of American Hansen Gregory. Thankfully, someone after Hansen made the brilliant decision to fill that hole with delicious cream filling! These were so well-liked that the Boston Creme Donut, perhaps one of the most popular cream filled donuts, became the official donut of Massachusetts in 2003. Celebrate National Cream Filled Donut Day with a stop at your local bakery for a box of fresh cream filled donuts! Or better yet, make them yourself. punchbowl private chefs and event catering Palm Beach + Boca Raton + Fort Lauderdale + Miami Beach info@yadachef.com | 954-367-YADA (9232) 561-285-7466 www.yadachef.com south florida cate

What's New and Beneficial About Cabbage

Did you know that cabbage was one of two vegetable types (the other type was root vegetables) found to be a mainstay for prevention of type 2 diabetes in a recent study of over 57,000 adults in the country of Denmark? In this very large-scale study, adults who closely followed the Healthy Nordik Food Index were found to have the lowest incidence of type 2 diabetes. Importantly, this key health benefit was linked to six food intake categories: (1) fish, (2) rye bread, (3) oatmeal, (4) apples and pears, (5) root vegetables, and (6) cabbage! Researchers have now identified nearly 20 different flavonoids and 15 different phenols in cabbage, all of which have demonstrated antioxidant activity. This impressive list of antioxidant phytonutrients in cabbage is one key reason why an increasing number of studies link cabbage intake to decreased risk of several cardiovascular diseases. You can read more about these individual antioxidants in our Health Benefits section. In terms of price per

The History of Aluminum Foil: Just Don't Call it Tin Foil

Gerard Paul  September 11th, 2020  Cookware ,   Grilling & Outdoors   Aluminum foil – sometimes incorrectly called  tin foil  – is a thin, prepared sheet metal made of aluminum, often used in cooking (and food storage!). Although it may seem a little  dull  at first glance (especially on its dull side), aluminum foil has quite a fascinating story behind it. Many incredible things occurred before it became a staple in the modern kitchen. In this post, I'll discuss the various events that led to the aluminum foil revolution, and highlight the continued importance of this seemingly mundane material in our lives.  Aluminum Foil What Is Aluminum Foil? Aluminum foil is a thin sheet of  metal foil  or  metal leaf  composed of an  aluminum alloy  containing roughly 92–99 percent aluminum. It usually has a thickness between 0.0002 to 0.006 inches, but its width and strength vary greatly based on the intended application.  Just some of those applications include: Manufacturing thermal in
