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!

    Loved this recipe especially with brown rice and quinoa. A little confusing at first but now that have done it once will be okay. I added chopped parsley at the end and some grilled haloumi at the end. Amazing.

    I replaced the parmesan cheese with a stir in of nutritional yeast at the end of the recipe to make it dairy free.  I struggled to follow this recipe a little bit.  I found the amounts of water/wine/stock mix to add and when to add them confusing.  Thanks for posting a recipe with brown rice and quiona as an alternative to white rice though, was great!

    Sorry that you have found it confusing cavoodle. I will review the method and update. The brown rice and quinoa cook and absorb liquid differently to arborio rice so I found these quantities appropriate tmrc_emoticons.)

    Extremely confusing recipe, can you please list up to which step you follow the chip recipe to before proceeding with your variation please? Also, the one cup of rice and one cup of quinoa do not equal the chip required weight for the Arborio Rice, it is quite a bit more. Can you clarify on this in your recipe too, that would be helpful and less confusing.  Thank you so much ☺
