Tip

You can alternatively use grated parmesan cheese instead of grating in the Thermomix at the start.

I like to season meat prior to using it. Therefore it is not an essential step if that is not your custom, however, it helps to bring out the flavors.

Add a can of corn towards the end of the cooking process to add vegetables and texture to the dish.

Definitely adjust spice to taste. We love spicy foods so this is good for us, but it can be a bit spicy for the little ones. Perhaps try just using the regular diced tin can of tomatoes (without the chili seasoning) and maybe omit or reduce the cayenne pepper.

Thermomix Model

  • Appliance TM 5 image
    Recipe is created for
    TM 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 made this for lunch for hubby and I. I’m not that over fussed on meat. You can’t taste the meat for the delicious flavours. Thank you for a fabulous recipe. We both really enjoyed it.

    Made this twice now and both times turned out lovely. My daughter bought a thermomix after shes seen me using it so often and this was one of the first dishes we made together. We had heaps left over for lunches the next day.

    Jaynic: Great substitute idea! I love Chipotle in Adobe Sauce myself. May have to try it out myself (although the boys are pretty happy with how it is right now). Wink Glad you enjoyed it!

    Delicious, quick and easy. I used 50 grams of olive oil instead of butter and left out the chilli for the kids. We added some chipotle in adobe sauce to ours. Will definitely make this again

    van der Ploeg: So glad you enjoyed it. I made it again last night for my family and when my husband saw what I was making he asked: "Oh my god, what did I do to deserve this?" Both him and my son ate every bite and savored every bit of it. They are so silly. Wink Think I may have to put this one almost in a weekly rotation soon.

    Delicious. A little too spicy for the kids so next time I won't add the chilli. Definitely will be making it again.
