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!

This was a easy, tasty, hearty dish. I added 2 carrots in step 2 & used 3 fresh, chopped tomatoes instead of tin. I also used 200g red split lentils instead of tins and added more water as suggested to cook, I did add an extra 1/2hr overall & could have cooked for longer. Left out Maggi Seasoning & used tblsp nutritional yeast instead. Thank-you... I will definitely be making this again.
We loved this recipe, I used Tamari instead of Maggi seasoning and the flavour was lovely and rich, I will definitely be making this dish regularly. Thank you fro sharing it with us!
Delicious. Just needed more cooking time but super!
