Recipe is created forTM 5
If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!
Comments
Mixture tastes yummy! I'm sure it will be great! I added about 1 teas of turmeric and 5 leaves of my 5herb plant as I don't eat capsicuim. I also used apple cider vinegar instead of lemon - running short of those! It should be a great recipe to adapt with different flavours! Many thanks!
Anyone know how long it keeps for?
MrsWest:keen to know this too!
Quick and easy.
Loved by all (including non vegan guests).
Most 'cheese like' cheese, out of three entirely different recipes.
Thank you 😊
Chopper1: Unfortunately you can't

Does anyone know how long this keeps for?
Great recipe, only change was I added extra nutritional yeast. My non-vegan husband loves it. That speaks volumes.
Got the thumbs up from my vegan grandson xxx
