This meal starts with a spicy sauce—rich with different chiles; warm with cinnamon; and earthy with cumin—that we pair with pork you sous vide overnight, rice, and slow-simmered beans. Our barbacoa sauce—a quicker version of the traditional Mexican barbecue sauce— is loaded with fragrant ground chilies—chipotle, pasilla, and guajillo—adds depth to a rich chicken stock, which balances the sauce’s heat. Simply place the pork into a bag with this sauce and sous vide it. This is a fully flavored weeknight meal, satisfying without requiring much work from you.
