Starters and Snacks / Sauce to have with Nachos.
« on: March 08, 2020, 03:04:52 am »
Nacho Sauce or Dip
Ingredients
2cloves garlic
1 onion, peeled and cut into 3.
25g EVOO
1 teaspoon chilli flakes (I reduce this)
1 teaspoon coriander
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
400g tin tomatoes
420g tin kidney beans
80g tomato paste
Preparation
Place onion and garlic into bowl. 5 sec, speed 6.
Add EVOO and sauté 5 minutes, Varoma, speed 1. MC off.
Add remaining ingredients and cook for 5 minutes, 90*, speed 2.

I find this is best if made the day before. You can make it a meal of nachos with cheese and sour cream. If your family don’t like kidney beans purée it and they won’t know they are in there.

Questions? Technical Issues? The Survival Guide / Blades in TM 5
« on: February 26, 2020, 06:27:34 am »
I’m in the middle of making bread with my 5 and the blades have stopped.  I took all the dough out and finished it in the 31. Has anyone had this happen please? I guess it’s the 5 version of the blades being stripped.  I will HO tomorrow.

Bread / A question re feeding SD starter
« on: July 07, 2019, 09:13:21 am »
When you feed your SD starter do you weigh the water and flour? Eg 20g of each.
OR
Do you add an equal measure of water and flour. Eg a tablespoon of each.

My rye starter I have been weighing and my Chookie one using equal measures.  I think I should have been weighing both. 🥺🥺

Bread / Steamed Rolls (Mantou)
« on: June 07, 2019, 06:07:16 am »
Steamed Rolls
Ingredients
230g bakers' flour
160g water
4.3g yeast. About 1½ teaspoons
Preparation
Place water and yeast into bowl and heat 37* about 2½ minutes.
Add the flour and knead for 2 minutes.
I left it in the bowl until it had risen to about double.
Tip onto a well floured mat and divide the dough in 2.
Roll each to a log and cut the log into 7 roughly equal pieces. Roll into balls.
Let rest for about an hour.
Cut pieces of baking paper that the dough balls can sit on.
Place boiling water into the bowl (around 500g-750g) and set on Varoma.
When it reaches temperature place the balls of dough onto the papers and put into the Varoma. Cover loosely with gladwrap so that water doesn't get on the dough balls.
Steam for 15-20 minutes.
You may need to do this in 2 batches.

This recipe is taken and slightly modified from the book Crusts
These are quite plain tasting but we enjoyed them with soup, and would be nice to dunk into a curry or casserole. I made ½ quantity.

Apple Crumble Sponge Biscuits
https://recipes.csrsugar.com.au/recipe-items/apple-crumble-sponge-biscuits/

This is the link to these biscuits/cakes.
I used a Granny Smith apple in them as I didn't have 2 red apples. I also used brown sugar as I didn't have Demerara sugar. I chopped the apple and folded it in carefully with a spatula.
I didn't use 2 soup spoons, I used  my hands to roll them into balls and squashed them slightly before I put the topping onto them.

Chit Chat / Secret Santa for 2018
« on: November 05, 2018, 01:57:20 am »
Well it is getting close to that time of the year again.
If anyone is interested in doing SS again this year please indicate in this post. The rules would be the same as every other year.
I have SS knowledge that we may be a few less this year so I was wondering if we should have a minimum number to run it? Say 5. I don't mind organising it for any number but if we only have 3 we would be able to guess fairly easily.
Please give me your opinion on that too.

Main Dishes / Bacon and Cheese Impossible Pie
« on: October 28, 2018, 06:42:13 am »
Bacon and Cheese Impossible Pie
Serves 6
Ingredients
3 bacon rashers
½ cup plain flour
1½ cups milk
4 eggs
60g butter, melted
310g corn kernels
3/4 cup grated cheese, plus 1/4 extra to put on the top.
parsley
any other ingredients you may like to use. I often leave out the corn and add mini tomatoes, halved, or wilt some spinach and add that.
Preparation.
Preheat oven to 1800.
Grease a 24cm quiche dish.
I cook my bacon in the microwave. I give it 2 minutes on high between 2 pieces of paper towel.
Cut into cubic centimetre dice.
Grate cheese if not done and set aside.
Melt butter either in microwave or thermomix bowl.
Whisk milk, eggs, flour and melted butter. About 10 seconds on speed 5/6.
Sprinkle corn, bacon and cheese into quiche plate. (and any other ingredients you have decided to add.)
Carefully pour the egg mixture over. Sprinkle with parsley and extra cheese
Bake until set. 30-50 minutes.
Serve with a salad.
This forms its own pastry base. It is delicious cold and the base is more obvious when it is eaten cold.
I copied it from the Recipes mnagazine which no longer exists. I also thermofied it.

Cakes / Custard Fruit Cake
« on: October 28, 2018, 06:14:22 am »
Custard Fruit Cake
Ingredients
250g butter
500g flour
250g sugar
2 teaspoons carb soda
1 teaspoon mixed spice
½ teaspoon ground cloves
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1kg dried fruits (the recipe actually requests Australian dried fruits!)
426 ml milk
 2 Australian eggs!!!
½ teaspoon vanilla essence
½ teaspoon almond essence
Preparation
Prepare a large square or round tin by lining base and sides with paper,
Set oven to moderate.
Place flour and spices into bowl.
Add butter and mix speed 3/4 for up to 10 seconds. Simply rub the butter into the flour and spices.
Add sugar and combine, speed 3, 5 seconds.
Remove and place in a large bowl.
Add fruit to this dry mix and combine.
Place the milk and eggs into the bowl. Make a custard by cooking at 90 0, Speed 3/4 for about 7 minutes. If this needs to be thicker add extra time.
Add essences and combine, speed 3, 5 seconds.
Add the custard mixture to the dry mixture and combine by hand.
Turn into the prepared cake tin.(I used a 9 inch square tin).
The original recipe stated to cook for 3 hours, however I found this to be far too much and cooked for around 1 hour.
It is suggested that you not cut this cake for a week.
I found this recipe when I was looking through some recipes IU had collected over 30 years ago. It stated that the recipe comes from Australian Prize Winning Recipes by Margaret Fulton and Ted Moloney. It won 100 pounds in a competition. It was listed as a new technique in cake making. The measurements were in Imperial measure, but I have converted them. A lady called Pat Smith bought the cookbook for one shilling at a garden fete in Sussex about 12 years before this was printed. She said she had no idea she would end up in Australia. I appear to have cut it out of an old copy of The Sunday Times.
