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!

Love this recipe. I also deleted steps 2-4 and chopped cauliflower up small and added it to step 9. Also added lots of spinach at the end and didn't do the peas as I didn't have any. I also added to cloves of garlic with the onions stage. I will definitely be doing this again.
Absolutely delicious thank you - added carrot and zucchini as I didn't have spinach, also added ham as I didn't have enough bacon 😋
Best risotto ever
This was awesome! Easy to make and everyone loved it
Wow this was sooo yummy hubby requested mushroom risotto but I had heaps of cauliflower to use up so I combined the 2 in this recipe so I added the mushrooms with the bacon and just omitted the peas cos come on who really needs greens 🤣
I didn't want mushy cauli so ommitted steps one to four. Used leek instead of onion. Deleted step 8 as didn't add cream. Chopped cauli into small florets and added at step 9. Result was still a creamy well cooked rissotto with a bit of texture. Will make again.
A bit of a challenge to modify for TM31 but got there in the end. Lovely
Beautiful meal, even yummier the next day for lunch
. Thanks for sharing.
