This is a converted recipe from one of the Annette Sym's Symply Too Good to be True cookbooks. I came across this conversion at http://www.stephberg.com/?p=927 but have played with it a bit and altered some of the times etc.  I now find it was first posted here by Snoozie who should get the credit for the conversion.

I used fresh spinach and the cooked weight was 380gms.

Whipped up a batch of these this morning Kathryn - rolled them into little balls the size of walnuts and it made 45 cookies.  As I like mine crunchy like biscuits instead of cookies, I cooked them longer.  Thanks for posting this one  :-* :-*

Welcome Hebe, what a wonderful weekend you are going to have.  You made the right decision having your demo whilst OH was at home, it gets them every time.   You have done really well in such a short time so I can't wait to see the list after this coming long weekend. Have fun, so glad you found us - you will enjoy it here too.

Excellent result farfallina, just like Rosella fruit chutney as MJ said.  Thanks MJ for providing us with this great recipe.

Uses for chutney - add a tablespoon to any curry or serve with cold meat or on sandwiches as VHJ suggested.

Chutney chicken recipe - 2 chicken breasts, 2 tblspns chutney, 2 tblspns french mustard, 1/4 cup grated cheddar cheese Mix the mustard with the chutney and cover the chicken breasts.  Place the breasts in a baking dish lined with baking paper, cover with the grated cheese and bake 15-20 minutes at 180o.  This recipe is from 4 Ingredients but has been around long before those books were published - an oldie but a goldie.   I only use 1 tablespoon of mustard and chutney when I make it.

Can one of the moderators please transfer farfallina's chutney conversion to the chutney thread so that others can find it easily in the future.  :-* :-* :-*

I did think that with the tiny zucchinis but decided to follow your instructions to the letter. You soon learn what you have done wrong for next time and it is better to experiment on DH than visitors  :-)) :-))

Made these for tea tonight to accompany pan fried fillet steak with mushroom sauce and some oven chips.  Only used zucchini, mushrooms and tomatoes but next time I will buy the biggest vegies I can find so that we can taste more of the vegie itself. Very nice though farfallina but next time I make them I know they will be even better. As you can see from the photo, they were slightly overcooked because the vegies were too small.

Today I made my chicken and vegie soup, farfallina's Vegetable Gratin to go with oven baked chips and fillet steak with mushroom sauce. Had some of ILB's chocolate cake (muffins) in the freezer so thawed, topped with strawberry jam and made some chocolate custard to pour over them.

Great looking machine, nice demo, just shows you how much easier the TMX is to use though. Notice how slowly he added the food to the bowl, no room to move there.  I think I would at least lift the mixer and pop everything into the bowl that way. Look how much preparation he had done before the demo started, obviously all by hand. Only plus would be that it wouldn't turn the food to mush as easily as ours but once we get to know our machine, we don't end up with mush anyway.  Apart from now being able to cook in the bowl, it is just like all the other mixmasters which have all the attachments which need washing and the very reason I didn't use them. How did he cook the rice?  It will obviously appeal to those who have not seen the TMX in action.  Thanks vivacity, would never have know it existed if you hadn't posted it.

Thanks MJ, that's the exact one I buy.  I have all those ingredients most of the time so would be so easy to whip up a batch. Thanks for posting it. :-* :-* :-* :-*
