Desserts / Chocolate Gummy Snacks
« on: February 25, 2016, 03:24:00 am »
These treats are so unusual, not rich like chocolate but very creamy and more-ish. I wouldn't call them a dessert as such but probably the best category. Using only a few ingredients and a super quick process of adding all ingredients to your Thermomix setting it to warm and stir - then simply pouring into a tray or moulds to set in the fridge.  No clumps or dissolving the gelatin separately or over the stove (although you could still do this if you don't have a Thermy), these turn out smooth and perfect every time.

Makes: 12, depending on moulds or tray used

Ingredients

    250g coconut cream (270ml can)
    20g (2 tbsp) cacao
    20-40g rapadura (to taste)
    1 tsp vanilla extract
    20g (2 tbsp) gelatin powder

Method

    Add all ingredients to Thermomix : 50 deg, 3 min, speed 4
    Pour into silicone (or lined) tray or moulds, refrigerate for 30 min or more

Hi MeganJane

Yes come to think of it, I think I may have read that somewhere too about the stainless steel, and had a quick google about it to research further. It seems you aren't meant to actually ferment it in stainless steel but it's fine to prepare it in stainless steel bowl or use knives, its not in thermy bowl for long so it's always been fine and worked perfectly for me. Your version sounds nice, I've done it like this too (prior to getting lazy and letting Thermomix do my chopping) but never tried it with the whey.  ;D

Thanks Julie and I love the pics, yes it needs the olives or maybe some extra feta for that extra boost. I'm going to try a ham and pineapple one next time.

This is a fruity slice (perfect when stone fruits are in season), with the added goodness of ground linseeds and almonds.

INGREDIENTS

    70g almonds
    20g linseeds
    60g spelt flour
    1 tsp baking powder
    60g rapadura
    80g macadamia oil
    120g milk of choice
    2 eggs
    2 tsp vanilla extract
    Fruit, eg stone fruit halves, berries (fresh, canned or frozen) - my favourite are fresh apricots or plums

METHOD

    Preheat oven 180°C / 350°F
    Add almonds and linseeds to Thermomix: 15 sec, speed 9
    Add remaining ingredients (except fruit), 15 sec, speed 4, scrape down bowl and repeat speed 4 a few seconds until well combined
    Pour evenly into a slice pan, arrange the top with fruit
    Bake 30 min until golden and cooked through
    Let cool for approx 10 min before removing from pan and slicing

Hi Cookie, yes I think that would work well. The ones I use are dried and I soak them in boiling water for a few minutes first. Let me know how it goes.

Thanks Judy :)

I think it should be ok if you are using fresh chicken that hasn't been defrosted but am yet to test this out. I too would like to freeze this as we are only the 2 of us and it would be good to have them in lunch sized portions. I don't think the noodles would be a problem because they get really compacted as the base and it's hard to recognise them as noodles anyway once it's all cooked with the egg.  Next time I make it, I will freeze and let you know.

Main Dishes / Chicken Noodle Slice
« on: February 09, 2016, 12:35:41 am »
This recipe is gluten free (if using soba noodles otherwise use your favourite noodles), savoury slice full of protein, vegetables and some carbs too. It holds together well as a cold packed lunch and really nice hot from the oven too.  Serve with a salad or eat on it's own as a nice lunch or dinner:

Makes: 12 small to medium portions (or less if you cut larger squares)

INGREDIENTS:

Noodle Base:
150g dry soba noodles
Water
1 egg

Chicken Topping:
2 cloves garlic
200g zucchini, sliced into 4cm disks
200g carrots, sliced into 4cm disks
30g kale or spinach (large handful)
500g chicken breast fillets (approx 2 fillets, quartered)
2 tbsp tamari or soy sauce
1 egg
30g grated parmesan cheese
1 tsp dried herbs
Pepper, to taste

METHOD:

Preheat oven 180°C / 350°F, line a slice tray with grease-proof paper

Noodle Base:

    Prepare dry noodles with water, to packet directions, drain and mix one egg through the mixture
    Spread the noodle mix evenly over the slice pan

Chicken Topping:

    Add garlic to Thermomix: 3 sec, speed 7
    Add zucchini, carrots and kale: 2 sec, speed 6
    Add all remaining chicken topping ingredients: Turbo approx 4 times until chicken is minced roughly and other ingredients are distributed through evenly
    Spread chicken mixture evenly over the noodle base, flatten with a spatula
    Bake 35 minutes or until golden and cooked through
    Remove from oven, let cool for about 10 min before slicing and refrigerate immediately
