This elegant cod and spot prawn roulade looks like a tricky restaurant dish, but it's easy to pull off with a gentle steamy cook in the Anova Precision Oven. A food processor makes quick work of a creamy, light spot prawn mousse, and the oven's food probe helps ensure that it emerges perfectly cooked. The salty, umami-rich slices of speck wrapped around the fish and prawns turn brown and crisp in a matter of minutes in a hot skillet.
