I actually made this today, pretty hot in Adelaide and it went down a treat. Can't believe 2 oranges made 2 large glasses of orange juice. Had to look up Joy's website again to see exactly how she made it.

What size cans of tuna are referred to in this recipe. We generally buy the 425g size and I'm sure you don't mean 3 of those

Spice Mixes / Re: Cookie's Tandoori Mix« on: March 20, 2009, 01:01:37 pm »
Was wondering how much mixture this makes. Is it just for one meal and if not, how do you store it - freeze perhaps?

Sorry, too high tech for me. Could never work out what facebook was all about. Basic computing is all I'm capable of. Have fun the rest of you.

Joy has her own web page. http://www.joysthermomixexperiences.clancie.com.au
Her orange juice is 2 oranges, 10 iceblocks, 1-1/2 MC's water and serves 2. (I presume you peel the oranges) 40211
Desserts / Pumpkin Pie« on: March 20, 2009, 04:39:47 am »
Name of Recipe:Pumpkin Pie
Number of People:1 pie serves 4 but this qty probably fills 3 x 18cm pastry flans in a loose bottomed quiche tin. Ingredients: 2 cups cooked pumpkin (460g) from a 1.8kg piece of raw pumpkin fresh grinding of nutmeg 1/2 teaspn mixed spice 3 eggs 150g castor sugar tin evaporated light milk 85mls maple syrup Prepared TMX shortcrust pastry bases - baked blind (3 x 18cm base flans) handful flaked almonds (optional) to sprinkle over Preparation: Preheat oven to 180°C Blend the first seven ingredients in the TMX for 20 seconds on speed 6. Pour into pastry cases, sprinkle with some almonds (optional), and bake 30 minutes. The mixture should have a light wobble, not be too hard as it will firm up when it goes cold. Can be eaten whilst still warm though. Serve with a dusting of icing sugar and a dob of cream. Tips/Hints: I had 1 pastry case in the freezer which I made from my leftover pasties recently so I used this and poured the rest of the filling into an oval shaped casserole dish as it is nice to eat on its own even without the pastry (not so many calories either!) The mixture was twice as thick in the casserole dish as it was in the pie so I left it to cook an extra 10 minutes. Members' comments Denzelmum - I used brown sugar and omit the maple syrup. Made two baby one with puff pastry and loving it. I think I enjoy this without pastry more. Kimmyh - Made this today with carrots instead of pumpkin. I also added some cinnamon too. Delicious and easy to make. 40212
Breakfast / Breakfast 'hash'« on: March 20, 2009, 04:04:12 am »
Name of Recipe: Breakfast Hash
Number of People: 2-4 on its own or as an accompaniment Ingredients: 1 large onion, quartered 6 pieces bacon - the eye part only, cut into 3cm pieces 200-230g potatoes, peeled and cut into 2cm cubes 1 tblespn oil 400g very ripe tomatoes, chopped roughly plus 1 tbspn tomato paste (OR 400g can of chopped tomatoes,1 tblspn tomato paste & 1/4 can of water OR 65g cashew, tomato and capsicum dip instead) Preparation: Chop onion for 2 seconds on speed 5. Scrape down sides, add oil, diced bacon and potatoes then saute for 5 minutes on 100oC/ speed 1/reverse. Add the tomatoes & tomato paste OR the dip OR the can of tomatoes & water if using. Cook 5 mins/100oC/reverse/speed 1 then reset to 30 mins/90o/softspeed/reverse/MC lid off. Add S & P to taste and change temperature to varoma/8.5 mins/reverse/speed 1/MC off to thicken the sauce. Place the steaming basket over the hole to prevent splattering. Check that the potatoes are cooked and either leave in the bowl or place in the thermosaver until cool as this will help the potatoes soften even more. Serve with eggs for breakfast, alone on a slice of toast or with BBQ'd meats. It doesn't really look like hash but that is what we have called it for years and the name has stuck. Photos: Tips/Hints: Tastes so much better the following day. I have amended this recipe from when I first did it as I felt it could be done in a better way and it was one of my earliest postings. This looks and tastes exactly as it used to be done when I did it on the stove top. I used the dip instead of tomato paste as I had a few tubs in the freezer and wanted to get rid of some. It improved the taste IMO. Vegetarian version has been added further down the page 40213
Main Dishes / Re: Agilio Oilio E Peperoncino (garlic oil and chilli) pasta« on: March 20, 2009, 03:48:40 am »
I used some of the leftovers of this pasta today for lunch. I mixed 2 cups pasta with 4 beaten eggs and made a lovely omelette for 2. No need to add anything else as the flavours in the pasta are sufficient but guess you could add any leftover vegies or bits of ham but definitely no seasoning. Have enough pasta for another omelette but will freeze it for later.

Yes Trudy, it is no use 100 recipes sitting on someone's desk whilst us out here in thermoland are hungry for new recipes. I haven't sent any in - feel as though if they are good enough someone will find them and test them for a book anyway. I just want to share with the people who have given so much to me over the past month - I wouldn't love my TMX so much if it wasn't for those people.
