Tip
Serve with a green salad
You can add drained and chopped sardines to the meat
Add some fresh herbs like parsley, thyme or dill in step 2 to give a different flavour
Lemon Juice amount to your liking, I like to add rather more than less as it gives it a hollaindaise kind of taste
You could mash your potatoes after steaming. But the classic German dish comes with just boiled potatoes like most German main meals

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!
