    TM 6
    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.

    The flavours in this were wonderful. I did find the recipe almost impossible to follow, and mine certainly didn't look like the picture. Mine was more mushed up, very little sign of the chickpeas or the capsicum, even though I missed out the cooking stage after adding the capsicum. I wondered if perhaps it should have all been assembled, then baked in the oven. I only added 1 quite large eggplant, and my bowl was full - I struggled to get the lid on, so it was way past the maximum line.

    It was quite an expensive recipe, with 250g ground almonds, 250g dates and 250g of apricots, but the flavours were worth it - for the fruit. It did make a large quantity. It would easily feed 6 or 8. I wasn't sure about the gritty texture of the almonds in the sauce, and would have preferred a smooth sauce.

    I'm going to print out the recipe, then work really hard to make some sense of it so that next time I can get it looking more like the picture. Great flavours.
