Risotto
Tip
If you do not need to be dairy free you can replace the savoury yeast flakes with parmesan cheese.
For even more flavour, use Portobello mushrooms. If your children do not like obvious slices of mushroom, add the mushrooms halved or quartered (depending on size) before step 1 and chop 5 seconds speed 4. Repeat if preferred. Perfect for kids.
If you want this recipe to be even quicker with prep, throw in roughly torn up bacon and blitz it with the leek and garlic.
Leaving the risotto to rest in the thermoserver at the end will allow it to cook a bit further, soak up a bit more liquid and wilt the spinach leaves. To give you an idea of quantity, this does enough for two meals each for both of my children (5 and 7) and lunch each for my husband and I. UPDATE: Next time I make this I plan on doing a mixture of blitzing and large dicing the mushrooms, so blitzing some at the beginning then adding a few large diced later on, to help get the kids use to the idea of munching on mushrooms.
Thermomix Model

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!
