Suggestions and Complaints / Recipes made easier with thermomix
« on: October 01, 2013, 03:33:03 am »

Hi Guys

I didn't want to post whole new recipes when I didn't actually create the recipes myself.

So I thought I would create a new post and link recipes that I have found using the thermomix have made things easier!

The first one is Ham and Potato Bake.

http://www.exclusivelyfood.com.au/2006/07/ham-and-potato-bake-recipe.html

Instead of grating the onion, I chopped it for 4 seconds on speed 7. Then I added the ham and chopped at 2 seconds on speed 4.

After I layered the ingredients and go out as much ham and onion as I could- I put the cream and eggs in the jug without washing out the jug. Whizzed it for 5 seconds on speed 5. Then poured it over.

I loved the fact that it was less bowls/less chopping boards and knives to clean. Plus it wiped off a good 15 mins of prep time for me! :)

I don't have photos at work but you can follow me on instagram- princessjesskimo.

Tips/Hints:

I freeze it into those 1 litre Ikea containers with the green lids. Then when I want to eat some I run the container under hot water so it comes out smoothly. Then with a hot knife I slice off what I want to eat into manageable pieces too.

This is a really delicious ice-cream. The avocado is super creamy and tastes amazing!

Desserts / Lemon Sorbet
« on: July 28, 2013, 11:53:41 pm »
Lemon Sorbet

4 for dessert or 2 hungry people who skipped dinner and just ate sorbet ...

Ingredients:


Zest of one lemon.
210-220 g water
220-240g sugar.
1 cup of fresh lemon juice (takes about 9-10 lemons)


Preparation:

1. You could zest the lemon with a micro plane- but I just peel the lemon thinly with a sharp peeler. Then I throw in in the bowl and chop at speed 7 for 15 seconds. I scrape it down and repeat.

2. Scrape down the zest again and add the sugar. Chop for 20 seconds. I find this gets the zest really tiny.

3. Add water. Speed 3, 100 degrees for 5 minutes. Check if all the sugar is dissolved- if it isn't then cook for another 90 seconds.

Let this cool until its room temp. Once I forgot to make it so I put it in the fridge and forgot about it for 3 days. Still worked okay!

4. Add to ice-cream maker and proceed as per manufacturer’s instructions. I have a Sunbeam Gelateria. If I am lazy and let it get to luke warm it takes an hour- but when I did it straight out the fridge it took 35 minutes.

And that's it. 3 ingredients. And sorbet in under 90 mins. Awesome.

jeninwa - Made this today, we loved it. I only needed 3 lemons, the recipe didn't say when to add the lemon juice, so I waited till the syrup was cold and added it then. Will be making this again.

Introduce Yourself / Hi I am jess
« on: July 08, 2013, 02:58:03 am »
Hi Guys

My name is jess- i am from Adelaide. I got my thermomix about a month ago. I used to love cooking- but after I got married and moved in with hubby- it wasn't so much of a fun hobby- more of a daily chore. So hubby picked up the slack and did most of the cooking- although this resulted in mostly pasta from the jars, or stir fries.

Since I got my little Robochop I have revitalised my love for cooking. I don't really follow receipes (and I have to say some of the receipes in the EDC are pretty dreadful) so I just adapted my own receipes for the thermomix.

I love how easy it makes cooking!
