Recipe's preparation

  1. Steam potatoes in heated Varoma for 20 minutes. Set aside, and empty water from the TM bowl.

    Chop garlic and onion for 3 seconds on speed 7. Scrape down the sides with the spatula. Add oil, and saute for 3 minutes on Varoma temperature, speed 1.

    Add celery, capsicum and bacon. Saute for a further 5 minutes on Varoma temperature, speed 1.

    Add flour, combine with other ingredients for 3 seconds on speed 4. Add chicken stock and potatoes, cook for 5 minutes at Varoma temperature on Reverse, Speed Soft.

    Best served immediately but can be frozen in smaller portions.

Tip

This recipe is inspired by dishes I ate in New Orleans and is my own recipe for
potato gumbo - gumbo's are typically made with shrimp. I make this dish for adults
too - this recipe will make 4 adult side portions and it is great served with steak,
chicken or white fish. I usually add a good dash of cajun spices to the adult version
to make it taste more authentic. This recipe is how I would make it for my toddler
although I occasionally add in some diced chicken for extra protein, she just loves it.

    Absolutely! I was excited to see your competition as I am hoping it means a lot more baby recipes are posted online - I'm always looking for new dishes to make for my little one. Any chance of a thermomix cookbook just for kids?

    I usually steam a chicken breast when I'm steaming the potatoes. I chop it up and add it right at the end just to heat it through with the other ingredients.

    This looks yummy.  At what point would you add the chicken?
