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!

Just delicious! I actually prepared this dish to just before adding the chickpeas (I used carrots instead of capsicum), then froze it. I defrosted it on the stove (we don't have a microwave) then added the chickpeas, spinach, coriander and lemon juice. I served it with extra lemon juice and the almonds on the side so each could add as much or as little as they liked. It was so good, this is definitely a keeper!
I loved this dish, although I used chicken breast and it didn't cook all the way through so had to put back in thermie for another 10 mins!
This is really yum. and better still it is really good for you.
