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!

Yes, I used 150g sweet potato and also used beef stock (only 1000g) and dry spices - 1 heaped tsp cumin, 1/4 tsp each of cinnamon & ground cloves, 1/2 tsp each sweet paprika and turmeric and 2 tsp dried coriander leaves. The sauce was thick and so tasty, I will have it served over steamed vegies for lunch tomorrow! My shanks definitely needed the extra cooking time. Great recipe, will be one of my favourites from now on.
Some ingredients are missing from the ingredients list (sweet potato and extra dry spices.) I improvised with extra paprika, tumeric, cinnamon and coriander powder.
I added about 150g sweet potato. And my shanks were very chewy after a full hour of cooking.
Soup mix with delicious though!!
