Recipe Book Recipe Reviews / Ketupat recipe from A Taste of Asia.
« on: November 25, 2018, 09:34:37 pm »
I've recently made this ketupat from the "Taste of Asia " cookbook & it didn't really work at all. The rice is coarsely ground, then cooked with 1 litre of water as you would whole rice. The water & steam didn't seem to penetrate the rice & therefore it remained raw even though I cooked it much longer than the recipe stated. Has anyone else had this problem? Should I grind less? Or maybe put more than the litre of water.

Thanks for your help thermomixers.

Chit Chat / Does anyone recommend any vacuum sealers?
« on: October 20, 2012, 06:07:52 am »
Hi everyone. Several years ago I bought a Sunbeam vacuum sealer which I initially found to be fabulous for saving & freezing food that I take away on our boat when we travel. However, it didn't last very long & the "vacuum" function failed. I took it back & it was replaced...but unfortunately the same thing happened. Sunbeam replaced that one too but it failed also! Since then I've been using it as a sealer only which it still does effectively but I'd really like a vacuum sealer that works. Has anyone got any recommendations?

Seafood and Fish / Yet Another Risotto! Smoked Trout.
« on: June 10, 2012, 09:44:16 am »
Hi Forum....have been following this section with keen interest, as I'm always looking for easy meals, preferrably using pantry ingredients! Risotto of course fits the bill every time, as it's a" throw in what you've got" kind of meal!!
I came across this combination last week which my diners loved so I thought I'd share....made using the EDC method.
Of course this is a rough guide only for quantities..parsley could be used instead of chervil(I have it in my garden)

Ingredients:
50gm parmesan.
2 large garlic cloves
1/4 spanish onion(or to taste)
1 chillie(wel like it hot)
chervil
150 gm arborio rice
1 tbsp evoo
300 gm water, slurp wine
1tsp chicken stock paste (or to taste)
1 cob sweet corn
1 tomato
200 gm smoked trout
2 dssp capers
A little lemon zest & squeeze of juice.

Blitz parmesan 10 sec speed 9.
Place onion, garlic chillie & chervil in bowl & blitz a few secs on speed 5.
Add evoo & sauté 3 min at 100, speed 1.
Insert butterfly & add rice & wine...sauté 2 min at 100  :-:,  ^^.
Add water,  stock paste, kernels from cob of corn & roughly chopped tomato.
Cook 16 min,  100.  :-:, ^^.
Flake the trout & discard skin.
When rice is cooked, add half parmesan, trout lemon & capers & stir. Adjust seasoning.
Sit covered (in thermoserver) for 5 min.
Serve with sprinkle of chopped chervil & some of remaining parmesan....& some extra cheese in a bowl on the side.

Of course some cream or substitue could also be added. but we found this was quite creamy as it was. There were 3 of us but it was a light meal! Sorry..no photo.

Introduce Yourself / Beetroot recipes.
« on: October 11, 2011, 09:28:53 am »
Hi everyone. I've been reading your comments & advice for a couple of months now & finally decided to get involved myself! I've been experimenting with my TM for a few months now with mostlly great results & am certainly having lots of fun. My only problem is that I live in an open plan apartment & the noise TM & I make can be very intrusive on the rest of the family. They do like the results of experiments though.
My request today is for any interesting beetroot recipes. I have recently harvested a heap & have so far made tzatziki, salad & soup but am interested to see if any of you wonderful cooks have a new angle. My family aren't in love with beetroot so I'm looking for new ideas. I think I might not grow them again for a while...they are beautiful, & I've been cooking the tops in pies & sauces too but I don't have a big freezer!
I think I once saw a beetroot chocolate cake recipe which sounds a little extreme though probably delicious!
Any comments are welcome..
Lizzie
