Sous Vide Meatballs is a breeze to do in the Anova Precision Oven. In the traditional sous vide method, great care is taken so as not to “flatten” the meatballs during the vacuum seal process. Some even freeze their meatballs so they can hold their shape. Thanks to the Anova Precision Oven’s bagless sous vide feature, gone are the days of vacuum packing worrying about flattened meatballs. Bison (also known as buffalo) is widely considered a healthier alternative to beef. 100% Grass-Fed Ground Bison is extra lean, high in protein and low in calories when compared to other proteins. For the best Ground Bison on the web delivered straight to your door, Anova Culinary prefers Crowd Cow’s Premium Grass Fed Ground Bison which is 100% antibiotic and hormone free and is raised sustainably on US pastures.

Steps

1. Soak bread and onion

Finely chop onion and garlic in food processor and transfer to a medium bowl. Add to cubed white bread and allow to soak on the side. If there isn’t enough juices from the onions, please feel free to add a splash of milk to allow the breadcrumbs to soften.

2. Mix with other meatball ingredients

Mix ground bison, eggs, nutmeg, allspice, ground black pepper, salt, oregano, thyme and liquid seasoning in a large bowl. Add softened onion-bread mixture and mix until well incorporated.

3. Portion meatballs

With an ice cream scoop, portion out meatballs onto a sheet tray. 2 lbs should yield about 48 medium sized meatballs, which is plenty for about 12 guests or so. If you want bigger dinner meatballs, feel free to double up the portion size. Once everything is portioned out, shape the meatballs and arrange onto a sheet pan
