Vegetarian / "From the Pantry" Tomato Pasta Sauce
« on: July 26, 2012, 11:58:49 am »
Name of recipe: "From the Pantry" Tomato Pasta Sauce
Number of People: 2-3
Ingredients:
4 garlic cloves (we LOVE garlic, reduce to 2 if you prefer)
1/2 tsp dried chilli flakes
1 onion, quartered
20g EVOO
1 440g can diced tomatoes
1 tsp salt
1 tbs brown sugar

Preparation:
Put the garlic, chilli and onion into the TM bowl, and chop for 5 secs/speed 5. Add the olive oil and cook for 5 mins/Varoma/speed 1.

Add the tomatoes, salt and sugar, and cook for 20 mins/Varoma/speed 3. Spoon over pasta.



Tips/Hints:
If you are making gnocchi, you can steam the potatoes for in the Varoma while the sauce is cooking. Add half a can of water with the tomatoes, and increase the cooking time to 25 mins. Place the sauce in the Thermoserver while you continue preparing the gnocchi. If the sauce is too thick by the time you've finished boiling the gnocchi, add a little of the pasta water to loosen it up.

Breakfast / Raspberry & lemon porridge - tweak
« on: May 26, 2012, 08:12:39 am »
This is my tweak to Porridge for 1. While deliciously creamy, I found that the original recipe was too runny for my taste.

Raspberry & lemon porridge

30g rolled oats
200g milk
1tsp sugar
1 pinch salt
1 handful frozen raspberries
2 tsp lemon curd

Place rolled oats, milk, sugar and salt in the TM bowl. Cook at 100C on  :-: at speed 3 for 5 mins. When there is still 10 secs to go, drop the raspberries through the lid. Once cooked, pour into a bowl and allow to sit for a minute or two. Add extra milk if desired and stir through a dollop of lemon curd. Absolutely delicious.

Introduce Yourself / Hi from Adelaide
« on: May 12, 2012, 12:44:10 am »
Well, we've now become a three Thermomix family - my mother, sister and I all have one each now! We only took delivery on Thursday so I'm still a TM baby but looking to learn quickly!

My partner and I have very busy and irregular schedules, so we're looking forward to cooking good food quickly and easily. I'm a reasonable cook with varied tastes, but my interest in cooking has waned recently. Already I can feel that the TM is inspiring me to branch out and try more interesting stuff again.

Thanks to everyone here for your recipes and tips - I've been making a collection in anticipation of delivery, so lots of things to try out now.
