This meal starts with a creamy sauce—vibrantly colored; a little sweet; a bit of heat—that we pair with grilled chicken, couscous, and a fresh herb-pepper salad. Our Muhamarra sauce—our play on the thick Syrian dip for a mezze platter— is an incredible mix of flavors, like pomegranate molasses, walnuts, and Aleppo pepper. This sauce is pretty irresistible. Put the protein—in this case, chicken—into a bag with this sauce and sous vide it. This is a fully flavored weeknight meal, satisfying without requiring much work from you.
