Chit Chat / New blog with translation of Dutch and German recipes
« on: September 06, 2014, 07:44:45 pm »
Hi everybody,

It's been quite a while since I visited this forum. I am still cooking up a storm with my Thermomix, still going strong after 3,5 years.
3 years ago I started my own blog, in Dutch, since the Thermomix is not (yet? hopefully) very popular in Holland. I am the only one in Holland with a blog on Thermomix....so lonely.....

Recently I started to translate a number of the recipes on my blog in English. Not the recipes that can be found in other blogs, or 'basic' recipes that can be found anywhere, but recipes of traditional Dutch and German dishes, or recipes that I found somewhere on the internet and converted into a Thermomix recipe.

My blog can be found at www.thermomixrecepten.com/recipes-in-English, or you can find me on Facebook as Jax Thermomix Recipes.

I hope you will all like my effort to translate the recipes on my blog. Currently there are only three recipes, but I add more every day. My latest recipe is Salted Chocolate-Espresso Brookies (Brownie Cookies). It was difficult to resist the urge to empty the cookie jar all at once.......

Could you please give me feedback on my blog, since I don't know if I actually add something to the English-speaking Thermomix Community with my blog?

Thank you!!
By
Jacqie

This recipe originates from the German Thermomix forum and is lovely, so I thought I would share it with you all.

Ingredients:
4 small turkey or chicken schnitzels, or chicken breast
2 onions
400 gr red/green capsicum
4 sweet/sour gherkins
4 pieces prosciutto or ham
4 pieces of cheese
Salt/pepper

750 g water
400 g rice

For sauce
70'g tomato puree
250 g water or cooking fluid
1 TS paprika
20 g cream
1 TS vegetable stock concentrate
1-2 tbs flour

Cut onions and capsicum in big pieces (I don't use Thermie here, since it will cut it up too finely).
Cut gherkins in pieces. Put onions, gherkins and capsicum in bottom part of Varoma.

Line the top part of the Varoma with wet baking paper. Put salt/pepper to taste on the meat. Put piece of ham on top of meat and cheese on top of that.

Rice in the basket, rinse.

750 g water in  *: . Put rice basket in  *: , Varoma on top.
25 minutes, Varoma temperature. After 15 to 20 minutes check rice and take that out if cooked. Keep it warm (unfortunately we do not have Thermoserver in Holland).

After 25 minutes take Varoma from jug. Keep 250 g from cooking liquid, put that in  *: with rest of sauce ingredients. Heat 3 minutes 100 degrees speed 4. After three minutes add veggies from Varoma to sauce and cook for 1 minute 100 degrees,  :-: 1 or 2.

Enjoy!

Condiments and Sauces / Sun-dried tomato mayonaise
« on: August 07, 2011, 10:43:45 am »
Yesterday I saw that (Quirkycooking) Jo was looking for the recipe of sun-dried tomato mayonaise from the Festive cookbook on Facebook.
The recipe looked very appealing (just made it) and I can imagine that many people in Europe (myself included) cannot get this cookbook here. So I copied the recipe from Facebook. Thanks a lot (and happy anniversary!), Jo!

Ingredients:
1 clove garlic
1 twig rosemary
40 gr sun-dried tomatoes
1 tbs balsamic vinegar
2 egg yolks
200 gr coldpressed unflavoured oil (I used grapeseed oil)
1 ts seeded mustard
Juice of 1 lemon
Pinch seasalt

Place seasalt, rosemary and garlic in bowl, 5 seconds speed 7.
Add yolks, mustard and vinegar, 1 minute speed 5
Add sun-dried tomatoes, 30 seconds speed 6.
With blades on, speed 4, slowly add oil through hole in lid, mc on. This takes 2 to 3 minutes.
Add lemon juice to taste.

Enjoy!

Drinks / After Eight Liqueur
« on: March 13, 2011, 06:09:31 pm »
Hi everybody,

Just got my Thermomix last Tuesday and I have been trying all sorts of things from the (Dutch) Thermomix book, this forum and the German Thermomix forum. I made this liqueur today, it's a recipe from the German Thermomix site. Since I could not find it here, I thought I would post it. If you all have it somewhere, or you don't want me translating stuff from the German site (www.rezeptwelt.de), please let me know. I did tweak it a bit, since the recipe asked for 500 ml Wodka and I thought it would be a bit too strong.

Ingredients:
50 gr sugar (I used organic sugar, learned a lot from Chelsea already...thanks for your lovely blog, Chelsea!)
200 gr After Eight chocolate
300 gr cream
300 gr Wodka


Put sugar in bowl, 10 seconds on Turbo.
Add the chocolates and the cream. 4 minutes 50 degr., on 1.
Add wodka and stir 10 seconds on 3.
Put the liqueur in a (clean) bottle and put it in the fridge.

I am enjoying a wee glass as I write this. Cheers!! ;)

Introduce Yourself / Yay, I am officially part of the Thermomix forum!
« on: March 02, 2011, 10:30:40 pm »
 Hi everybody,

My name is Jacqueline and I live in Holland. Last week I bought à slowcooker and - due to à week's holiday - I have been searching the Internet for recipes and other stuff for my new pan. And of course i came across info on the Thermomix and now.......I can't seem to stop reading about it. The Thermomix-fever has struck yet again and I do not even own one yet! But will soon, I have already contacted Thermomix for à demo. I can't wait!!

Unfortunately the Thermomix isn't very common in Holland and consequently it's quite hard to find Dutch recipes. I was over the moon when I found your forum. Found an extensive German one as well, www.wunderkessel.de, but unfortunately my German is not too good.

I am looking forward to cooking many recipes in my yet-to-order Thermomix and perhaps I can even 'invent' some new recipes. Thanks for all the delicious recipes in this forum!

Kind regards,
Jacqie
