All In One Meals using the Varoma / Aggie's Heatwave Meatballs
« on: January 08, 2014, 11:23:03 am »
I retrieved this recipe after googling pork meatballs Thermomix. I've made some slight adjustments from the original recipe, but here is the link - http://tastetraveltalk.com/2013/01/thermomixing-with-aggie-aggies-heatwave-meatballs.html


Ingredients:
1/2 large onion, peeled and halved
50g breadcrumbs or almond meal
Fresh herbs (dill, basil, continental parsley – dry herbs is OK too)
40g milk (dairy/almond/soy)
1/2 tspn of cumin
1 egg
1/4 tspn of ground cloves
500g mince (pork or chicken)
Sea salt and pepper to taste

Sauce Ingredients:
3 tbspn of butter (or Nuttalex)
360g milk (dairy/almond/soy)
1 tsp TM chicken stock concentrate
2 tbspn cornflour
1 tbspn Gravox Powder

Method:
1) Place onion almond meal and herbs into TM bowl and chop for 4-5 secs on speed 6.

2) Add milk, eggs, and all seasoning to the bowl.  Mix for 4 secs on speed 2.

3) Scrape down the sides of the bowl using the spatula.

4) Add the mince and mix for 10 secs on speed 3.

5) Lightly oil Varoma dish and tray (I prefer to use the spray oil). With wet hands, form meatballs and place in Varoma dish and tray. Rinse bowl and blades.

6) Place all sauce ingredients into TM bowl.

7) Place Varoma into position and cook for 25 mins at Varoma temperature on speed 4.

I found there wasn't enough room to add vegetables, so I steamed some sliced broccoli/carrot/paprika chillies/potato in the microwave :)
The sauce is delicious!!

 Very nice - my husband loved it :) I used cornflour in place of flour, and dry sherry in place of white wine. Yum :)

I made Quirky Jo's version last night as we are GF and DF right now. Her recipe makes a lot of filling, so I spread the fruit (6 apples and 3 cups frozen blueberries) and almond milk custard over two bowls and then made double quantity of the crumble. Yum!!  :)
I bet your combo Chelsea is just as delicious  ;D

Cakes / Re: Pear and Blueberry Muffins with Hidden Greens (with photo)
« on: August 10, 2013, 11:01:45 am »
Made these today - everyone loved them :)
I used what I already had in the house - so 1 zucchini and 1 banana, walnuts instead of pecans, 300g wholemeal spelt flour, almond milk and macadamia oil (I find olive oil too strong in cakes).
They rose beautifully in the oven but deflated quite a lot once removed - they may have required a couple more minutes in the oven?
Definitely make again ;D I made 23 muffins with this mixture ... 9 were eaten within 5 minutes  :-))

Skinny Chunky Monkey Cookies!!!
(Recipe off FB)

Makes 30

Ingredients:

3 ripe bananas
2 cups oats
1/4 c peanut butter
1/4 c cocoa powder
1/3 c unsweetened apple sauce
1 tsp vanilla

Method:

1) Preheat oven to 180C.
2) Mash bananas then add the rest of the ingredients and stir and let sit for 20 min.
3) Then drop by teaspoonful onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 10-12 min.

Tips:

1) I made my own unsweetened apple sauce and unsweetened peanut butter in the TMX first
2) First biscuit I was unsure if I liked them ... ate a few more and then couldn't stop  :D
3) If you are a sweet tooth, add a little natural sweetener such as pure maple syrup
4) They don't spread out or change shape as they bake. End result is a slightly soft/chewy cookie

Will definitely make again :)

Made 2 GF/DF chocolate cakes and served one with a chocolate almond "cream". For dinner I made broccoli and almond soup :) Reviewed both recipes in the "special diet" section.y family as of today is trialling a GF/DF diet due to my husband's many intolerances, so will be doing a lot of recipe testing in the coming weeks  :D

Made this for dinner tonight and it was very tasty :)
Next time, I might lightly steam the broccoli first as the soup still had a slightly raw taste - however it wasn't offensive!

Made a chocolate/almond "cream" to serve with slices for dessert tonight. Melted some 70% cocoa Lindt chocolate (DF) and mixed through some almond milk. Delicious :)
