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!

    Had this again last night. Really hot day today and the subtlety and lightness of the flavour was commented on by my dinner guests. Well received and perfect for an outside dinner party under the stars with a crisp white wine. Served with toasted tortillas (rather than naan breads), and 3 side accompaniments: freshly sliced cucumber, green melon (honeydew), mango chutney.

    Lovely flavours. Cooked the chicken just a little longer and added a bit more coconut cream. didn't have beans on hand so used snow peas instead and added in the last 60 secs. Served with sambals of banana in dessicated coconut, diced cucumber in yoghurt, japati bread. Delicious!
