Recipe's preparation

  1. Translated from the latin 'Alia Patina De Asparagis', this translates to 'Another Asparagus Custard' and was a dish eaten in imperial Rome approximately 2000 years ago.

     

    More information can be found here: //100yeardiet.wordpress.com/

     

    When made it is a light and wholesome soup and delicious as a light meal or lunch or as an appetiser.

     

    Method:

    1. Trim and rinse the asparagus and then steam in the thermomix by adding the chicken stock and water to the mixing bowl, place the simmering basket into the mixing bowl and put the lid on without the measuring cup, place the asparagus spears tips up through the hole in the lid so the tips are sticking out the top.  Steam for 25 mins / 110 degrees / speed 1.  When done leave all of the cooking stock in the mixing bowl. Remove the asparagus and cut off 2-4 of the asparagus tips to set aside for serving.  

     

    2. Take the simmering basket out of the mixing bowl and put the asparagus back into the cooking stock.  Add all remaining ingredients except the eggs to the Thermomix, blitz for 10 secs / speed 10.

     

    3. Select automated custard setting for 3-4 portions of normal thickness; add the eggs and skip through the instructions to the automated start.

     

    4. Turn the dial to start the automated cooking process and when done, blitz for another 45 secs / speed 5 gradually increasing to speed 9 to make it creamy and smooth.

     

    Serve immediately with cracked pepper, extra fresh herbs and/or parmesan and with reserved asparagus tip/s rested in the centre of each bowl.

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!
