Recipe's preparation

  1. Grate cheese and set aside until needed.  Parmesan and cheddar can be grated together or separately - your choice.

    Britz kaffir lime leaves and ginger, speed 10/5 secs.  Scrape down and blitz again if necessary.

    Add all other ingredients and mix on speed 5 for 8 - 10 seconds, until all is combined and forms a ball.

    Remove from TM Bowl, roll into ball, wrap in cling wrap and refrigerate for 15 minutes.

    Turn oven on to 180oC.

    Roll dough out between 2 sheets of baking paper, until about 6 mm thick.

    Cut into shapes. Continue to roll and cut until all dough is used.

    Place on baking tray lined with baking paper - leave a small gap between each shortbread.

    Cook in oven about 10 - 15 minutes until golden brown.

    Remove and cool on wire rack .

Tip

Can vary the flavour by omitting the kaffir lime leaves and ginger and substituting other flavour combinations such as:  grated lemon zest and black pepper; garlic and rosemary; lemongrass and ginger.

The number of portions made will depend on the thickness of the shortbread and the size of the cutter used.

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!
