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!

Comments
Thanks for your comments! This was my very first conversion. And it appears I accidentally put in 3-4 tablespoons instead of teaspoons! I've adjusted it down to 2 tablespoons, which is in line with most Thermomix risotto recipes.
It's real food. Made simple.
Whole family enjoyed this dish - thank you. We toasted the pine nuts in a fry pan as I don't get the same crunchy texture in the Varoma. Thank you
I have never liked risotto, so was a bit nervous about making this. Also I have only had my Thermie for 5 days, so double nervous!
It was fantastic!
Both my housemates had second serves, and there is enough for both of their lunches tomorrow. Things I noticed:
1) you cannot mine 400g of fresh spinach leaves in one hit (took me three)
2) Pinenuts are still raw after 5min on veroma - will try longer next time.
3) The standard vege stock I made when my machine arrived, is far too salty for my taste.
4) Using chicken fillets was a good idea, quality meat for a quality result.
thanks
