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!

    I had to vary this recipe a little to use up what I had - 8 rashers bacon, vege stock not chicken, green pesto not red, didn't have much spinach so add some rocket as well - but followed the recipe otherwise. Rested 10 minutes in Thermoserver and it was delicious!!! I will definitely make this again; very versatile. Thank you for sharing Smile

    I made this tonight & it was SO good.. I used half the red pesto paste & only 6 rashers of bacon. Still so delicious!
