Thermomix Model

  • Appliance TM 5 image
    Recipe is created for
    TM 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 is a regular in our house. A real family favourite. We serve with diced kransky for those that eat meat, plain for our veggie muncher. Leftovers are always fought over. Yum!

    Delicious! I added peas and spinach for 2 minutes at the end and grilled some chicken instead of bacon and pine nuts. Hit with kids too. Will make again 👍🏻

    OMG my kids actually ate dinner! Big hit in the family especially since my daughter loves chicken. Just like other comments, I added frozen beans and spinach in the last 3 minutes of cooking. It was delicious! Had to substitute the pine nuts for slivered almonds which I toasted. Will make again for sure Big Smile
