Questions? Technical Issues? The Survival Guide / Re: Pasta Disaster
« on: January 07, 2010, 10:40:57 am »
I usually cook all kinds of Pasta in my Thermomix! :)
Less RIGATONI  :D :D since it is a mass that needs more space to keep their shape (not break)
Moreover it is really strange what happens to Beth - can it be the cooking time ???
We know that the Pasta today cook faster and faster ...

« on: January 06, 2010, 05:31:05 pm »

It is very simple and very tasty for shrimp lovers.

40 grams Flour
350 grams shrimp
800 grams of water
1 onion
2 tomatoes
25 grams olive oil
Salt and cayenne pepper

1 bouillon cube (fish or seafood)

Preparation:
Place the flour in a nonstick pan, toast lightly browned.

Peel the shrimp.

Now, in the TMX: shrimp shells and heads / Water - 8 min - Level 3 - 100 º.
Thereafter, the contents through the TMX shifter (hope you say it this way - lol - I mean the Little basket with holes from the TMX - lol - its getting worst :D) Isi is referring to the steaming basket here
Put shrimpwater aside and discard shells.

Now in Clean TMX:

Onion / Tomato - 8 sec - Level 5
Olive Oil - 10min - 100 º - level 2

Now the toasted flour - 3 min - 100 º - Level 2

Shrimpwater / wine / salt / Cayenepepper / bouillon cubes to and 20 min - 100 º - Level 1

After this time, mix 1 minute at level 7!

Cut the peeled Shrimps into pieces and put them inside the cream now -  2 min - 100 º -  ^^ :-:.

DONE ;)

Tips/Hints:

Serve warm with a sprinkle of fresh coriander and some croutons!

JulieO - We really enjoyed it, I mistakenly used 500g of prawns instead of 350g, so maybe it intensified the flavour slightly, but it was still very nice.  Again, another easy recipe and the only thing I had to change was when I put the shells into the water to cook, I found speed 3 too fast and was making the machine jump around a bit.  I turned down to speed 2 and it was all good.  Oh I also used a veg stock concentrate ice cube in place of the fish stock cube as I didn't have any. I can imagine the flavour would be even better tomorrow.  We have some left so will see.

JD - I made 1/2 quantity and we both loved it.  Thanks isi, it is really special so can understand you sharing it with friends & relatives. I used a few drops of fish sauce instead of bouillon cube.

Gert - Never throw those prawn heads and tails out. Make a stock and freeze or make a really concentrated stock and freeze in cubes. It is great for colour as well.

Chookie - This has become a favourite with us and visitors.  Thanks again Isi.

phatassphairy - I love this so much i am going to make it again ...right now for my dinner and lunch tomorrow.

TIRAMISU - VERSION BOMBON


Number of Bonbons:  gave + / - 40 (if I had not "proven" so much it certainly could be Moore :D)

Ingredients:
250 grams of sponge Ren
250 grams Mascarpone Cheese
100 grams of butter (use unsalted)
1 packet of vanilla sugar (or 1 teaspoon homemade!)
2 tablespoons instant coffee

Cocoa enough to involve!

Preparation
Dissolve the coffee in the Amaretto.
Place the sticks in Thermomix-program speed until 10 powder (5-10 seconds)
Add all remaining ingredients (minus the cocoa) - preset speed 4 to obtain a homogeneous mass!
Place it in the cold for about 30 minutes.

Place the cocoa in a bowl and roll the balls in there.
Had some small aluminum pans (package of 25) and the other I put inside a small Tupper.
They were a delight to eat and to see!

I hope you like it the same way as we did!

Denzelmum - This is so yummy, Isi!  Made about 50 little rolls.  Modified a bit to make it child friendly and use chocolate and water instead of coffee and Amaretto.

Bread / MY "VERY NORMAL" BREAD
« on: January 05, 2010, 07:58:43 pm »
Hello to all!
So my first Recepie here with photo (oh dear - hope you understand everything :D!)

The "Very Normal" Bread:


440gr. Water
1 + 1 / 2 tablespoon olive oil
1 + 1 / 2 spoon Salt Cafe
20 gr brown cane sugar
650 gr flour (half wholemeal / half wheat - or, as it just might!)
16 gr yeast
Pumpkin seeds / sesame / sunflower seeds .....

Water + salt - 2 minutes / Level 2 / 37 º
The add half of the flour + yeast - 10 sec / level 6
The rest of the flour + sugar + olive oil - 2 minutes  ::
Sometimes For me the dough is still too wet so  I put e a little bit of flower so it is Moore solid!
Add 7 tablespoons of various seeds and kernels  - 1min  ::.
Leave the dough in the Cup until it looks out of the hole!

After that I had already formed the prepared baking sheets with parchment paper and with wet hands, 80 - 90 grams of dough my buns.
Since they were pretty wet, I then directly rolled into a mixture of seeds and nuts!

I have let my breads another 10 minutes to rest and then op into the oven!
Preheated 200 º - 15 to 20 minutes (I  put a recipient with water in site!)

It make 13 breads 

Oh man was that hard now with the whole translation business - I hope it is understandable and does not have many errors. Otherwise, sorry!

That was my first photo recipe - I hope you enjoy it!
