Tip
This makes a small bowl of rice, suitable as a side dish, or addition to things like tacos and burritos.
If you'd like to make it more of a main dish, add extra rice and water/stock to the jug, stirring at 5-10 minute intervals, checking that your jug doesn't dry out by lifting the basket.
Frozen veggies such as beans and corn should be added at step 10 and really lift the dish!

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!

namz: Hi there, I'm sorry to hear of your troubles. I have a TM5 but it shouldn't be too different to the 6.
If it's too crunchy i would add additional water and time. Stop to stir every five minutes and check the texture each time so you don't overcook. See how you go? Good luck
I'm not sure what I am doing wrong. I have attempted this recipe so many times, and each time it comes out not cooked. It is dry and crunchy, rather than soft and fluffy!
I am using a TM6 - does it cook different to the TM31 as I am sure the first time I did it (in a TM31) it was fantastic (which is why I continue to try and use this recipe!).
The flavours are all there, but I have epic fails each time I try it (which has been about half a dozen times now). Help!
Really enjoyed this, served as part of a Mexican feast
mandigibs:

Sorry! I've added now
Tasty and versatile.
It appears that the required quantity of water is missing from the recipe.
Hi-not sure how much water is required for this recipe.
My kids liked it, not too strong
although recipe doesnt say how much water to put in so i accidentally flooded mine and reduced cook time by 12 mins lol
