Fill a large container or pot with water, attach a sous-vide cooker and set temperature to 122°F/50°C.

Step 8

Add chopped garlic to the cast-iron pan and cook for 1 minute or until fragrant.

Add coconut milk, cajun seasoning, mustards, and lemon juice, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes or until the sauce thickens.
