Soups / Emerald Sue's Seafood Chowder.
« on: June 26, 2013, 07:47:09 pm »
Didn't want this little gem posted by ES to get lost in the postings ;) ;D

BZB, i only had a loose recipe for the chowder. I put a couple of carrots, celery sticks and fennel sticks into my Thermie and whizzed on speed 5 for about 5 seconds. I then added 3 or 4 large potatoes that I had peeled and roughly chopped, 1 L of water, a tablespoon of Tenina's chicken stock powder and some black pepper and cooked (Varoma temp) everything on speed 2 for about 15 -20 minutes, until the potatoes were soft. I then fried a couple of chopped rashers of bacon in my Le Cruset pot on the stove, added the contents of my thermie jug, a tin of light evaporated milk and a tin of sweetcorn. I then simmered it on the stovetop until it was hot and added about 500g of mixed seafood (prawns, calamari, mussels, blue grenidier, salmon and another white fish) and cooked for a couple of minutes more until the seafood was just cooked. I garnished each bowl  with a splash of cream and some chopped coriander and served with a warm bread roll. There was enough for 5 of us to eat well, and some leftover for lunch.

Sprinkle nuts on top
Fold through crushed chocolate biscuits

Members' comments
Uni - made some for Eve this morning, she loved it. I cooked it for 13 mins. Added cinnamon sugar + 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon instead of my home made vanilla.

Obbie - DS loves this.

Kimmyh - Made this for dessert last night and it was a big hit with the children thanks.

TAT - Made this for dessert tonight. Made it ahead and left it in the fridge to set. Filled 4 ramekins nicely. Great recipe - loved by all!
It got a bit of a skin on the top (which was yummy but not overly attractive,) and under was set to perfection! I've just made a chocolate orange version with the Lindt - highly addictive!
I made a half serve tonight with white chocolate and it was delish. Big thumbs up!

Coodie1 - To prevent a skin forming on it, put glad wrap on and press it down so that it contacts the surface all over. I will be making this again. I might try blueberry or orange Lindt next time.

JulieO - I wanted to make something for my almost 3 year old grandson that wasn't loaded with sugar that he could have as a treat.  Found this recipe and made it this afternoon. As I was using milk chocolate (which is quite sweet anyway), I cut down the sugar to 20g thinking that if it wasn't sweet enough I could add a bit at the end of cooking. I didn't need to add any more. Poured into 6 of these little pots which will be just enough for him and let him try what was left in the bowl.  He loved it so that was encouraging.

Non Thermomix Recipes / Paula Wolfert's Slow-Baked Quince
« on: May 20, 2013, 10:11:57 am »
Our forum member berringamababe posted her comments how her TM and slow cooker go hand in hand in her kitchen.Then she posted this recipe.

"I love my slow cooker almost as much as my Thermomix!!!!  So was keen to see some new post on this thread.
Just had a lamb roast and vegies in the slowcooker and I am currently stewing quinces in TM and going to serve with TM Custard.
I just came across this recipe and don't usually post something I haven't made but Quinces are abundant in The South West at the moment and sooooooo beautiful I can't wait to to try tomorrrow going to Donnybrook to by a box of them for $10 and will also make some quince paste."

Paula Wolfert's Slow-Baked Quince
 
(adapted from  in The Slow Mediterranean Kitchen)
 
Serves 4
 
2 medium quince
⅔ c castor sugar
⅔ c water
1 clove
1½ T lemon juice
1 apple
 
Preheat oven to 250˚F (120˚C).
 
Peel and halve the quince. Using a melon baller and a paring knife, carefully core the quince halves. Reserve all the peel and trimmings. Combine the sugar, water, clove and lemon juice in a shallow baking dish, such as a casserole (preferably one with a lid). Stir with a whisk to dissolve the sugar. Add the reserved trimmings and the quince halves, cut side down. Peel the apple and blitz in TM until coarsely chunky.  Place the apple over the quince halves. This will prevent the quince from drying out while baking.
 
Cover and bake for 5 to 7 hours until the fruit softens and turns pink or crimson.
 
Serve the quince halves with clotted cream and toasted almonds.
Leftover juices make a great spritzer mixed with water or, even better, a great version of a Bellini or Kir Royale mixed with Prosecco or Champagne! Cheers!
I thought I would try freezing to use in sorbet

Non Thermomix Recipes / Sonan's Slow Cooker Balsamic Tomato Lamb.
« on: May 20, 2013, 09:46:42 am »
Another slow cooker recipe.

Balsamic Tomato Lamb

1 leg of lamb, well trimmed of any fat
1/2 cup of semi dried tomatoes (97% fat free ones, from the deli)
3-4 cloves of garlic
1-2 tablespoons of balsamic glaze

Whizz up all the stuff except the lamb in the thermy until a rough paste is formed. You could add any fresh herbs like basil or parsley to the mix as well. Cut a few slits all over the lamb and then proceed to give it a good massage with the paste, poking as much paste into the holes as you can. Add about 1/2 cup of water to the bottom of your slow cooker. Add the lamb and all the paste. Cook until the lamb is falling off the bone ~ about 6-8 hours on low. The paste and water will combine with the lamb juices to make a delicious jus. Rest the lamb before carving and eating. Serve on top of some couscous with a spinach salad on the side. It also tastes great the next day with spinach, beetroot and tzatziki in a wrap.

Found these recipes and thought if you are on a budget it's very helpful.

"Here are the ingredients I put in the last one.  Please bear in mind that it's very flexible, according to what I have to hand.  Also, sometimes I forget to chop the onion and garlic first, so they aren't sauteed.  To be honest, I can never tell the difference in the final dish. I forgot this time, so I've posted it honestly" 

1 onion
2 cloves garlic
1 unpeeled carrot
1 unpeeled courgette (zucchini)
1 unpeeled beetroot
1 large parsnip (peeled as old and tough)
Some sage and rosemary leaves
65g oats

4 seconds / speed 5

Bunch of cabbage leaves
1 pak choi

Added on top of other bits.  3 seconds / speed 5

Put into slow cooker with:

500g mince
1 very heaped tsp veg stock concentrate,
pepper
can chopped tomatoes
slosh red wine (sometimes use a dash of balsamic instead)
1 tbsp tomato puree
c 400 mls hot water

Stir it all through with wooden spoon, and cook.

If I had been planning to do all tomato dishes I would have put in another can of tomatoes, and slightly less water.  As it happened, I did - spaghetti bolognaise, chilli, and nachos.  But I had planned to do a shepherd's pie originally, so I kept it to a recipe which allowed me to add more tomatoes or gravy in the final dish.

So for the bolognaise I added more chopped tomatoes, thyme and oregano.   For the chilli I added more chopped tomatoes, chilli and a little bit of cocoa powder, and kidney beans.  For the nachos I added a jar of salsa (sorry, I know I should have made it from scratch!) then baked over nachos, sprinkled with grated cheese (grated in tmx) and served with salad and guacamole (which was made from scratch in the tmx   )

Caroline also said
"The veggies and oats basically double to triple the amount of the mince, and I get several meals out of it.  After the mixture has cooked I separate it out.  Some has gravy and chutney added and is used as shepherds pie or similar.  Some has salsa added to it and is used for nachos.  Some is turned into Chilli con carne.

So we'll have one of these meals that day, one lot will be put in the fridge for later in the week (because I like the chilli to cook in the slow cooker for a while for the flavours to develop) and the other one goes into the freezer."

Non Thermomix Recipes / Obbie's Sausage Casserole
« on: May 19, 2013, 04:03:36 pm »
I thought I would post Obbie's recipe so it doesn't get lost ;)

Sausage casserole. (taste)

Bread / Stacelee's My pizza oven tortillas...
« on: May 03, 2013, 12:54:44 pm »
MJ pointed out that this would be lost if not posted here in the Bread section.
Thank you Stacelee for posting the recipe.

My pizza oven tortillas...

330ml warm water
1 tbs salt
125ml vegetable or olive oil
675g plain flour
¼ tsp baking powder
½ tsp sugar

Place all ingredients in thermomix and knead for 3 minutes scraping bowl if necessary.
 You'll have a slightly sticky, very elastic dough.
Remove the dough from the bowl and use your hands to knead it for a few seconds on a lightly floured work surface, then
form a smooth ball.
Cover the dough with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rest for 10 minutes
Divide the dough into about 30 equal-sized pieces, each a little smaller than a Ping Pong ball for small tortillas or 15 to 16 pieces for larger.
Cover the dough pieces again to stop them from drying out while forming the tortillas.
Take a ball and roll with a rolling pin thinly (as thin as you can without making them tear)
Cook on hot griddle or in pizza machine,

On a griddle you will need to flip them twice, the first time when they start to look a little dry around the edges and brown spots begin to form.  They should puff a little.  Having the two sides of the griddle at slightly different temperatures seems to help.

In the pizza oven, they take between 1 to 2 minutes at approximately heat 2 to 2 ½.  They will take longer the more you are doing as the oven loses heat each time it is opened.  There is no need to flip them.

Store tortillas in a clean teatowel as you are making them to help keep them warm.

Non Thermomix Recipes / Astarra's Slow Cooked Lamb Chops in Gravy
« on: April 27, 2013, 10:19:43 am »
I thought I would post Astarra's recipe here ;)

I spray the slowcooker, then layer the chops in (usually end up with a double layer or whatever), spray the tops, then sprinkle with either Masterfoods lamb seasoning or lamb herbs, onion flakes and gravy powder. I then pour over about 1.5 - 2C total of liquid (water mixed with coke/wine or just water)  then turn onto low for however long. Always so moist and yum - just melts in your mouth.   And there is a yummy flavoursome gravy too!!
