Cookie:I'm going to use the top part of the varoma. Wet some baking paper and scrunch it up and then put it loosely into the varoma, pour in the frittata and then steam it. (you need to make a space on the scrunched up baking paper). I think a half quantity will fit ok. Thermomixer did this some time ago.

I will read it myself and check how to do it.
We had this last night and I cooked it in the varoma. The taste is sensational. It is very soft because it was only steamed but that was fine. Now I know I can cook this type of thing when we are caravanning. I only made a half quantity as I don't think the full amount would fit in the varoma. It was plenty for us though and I had some for lunch.
KarenH:Bumping this recipe: DH made it for lunch today, and it was so easy and tasty! He reduced the smoked paprika from 1tsp to 1 pinch because the kids aren't fans of smoky anything, but the subtle flavour was still noticeable and really, really lovely. DS even asked for seconds (unheard of, unless of course it is dessert )
Great quick and easy recipe. 5/5 Thanks maddy!

Very colourful maddy, looks great.

I've printed this and it will be on the menu tonight or tomorrow night. The thought of it made my mouth water.

Are you going to cook it the same as Maddy or will you try cooking it in the Varoma Cookie?
-
I never thought of using the varoma! Drr silly me. I will use the varoma as I only want to make a half quantity. The paprika will give it colour. Thanks CC. Will save putting the oven on too. Will let you know how it goes.

How would you cook this in the varoma??

Great result Cookie,thanks for experimenting.I have made Thermomixer'ys recipe and that worked well.
Thanks Maddy for your recipe. :)
-
Good one cookie! Must try using the varoma for next frittata.
This might be a silly question....but can you use the larger section of varoma for it? I noticed you used the smaller top portion.....was that just because you made half quantity?
-
I don't see why you couldn't use the bottom section. I only did it that way as that was what Thermomixer did in his demonstration photos.
-
Thanks cookie and maddy! I will try this on the weekend. :-*
-
on your high recommendation cookie, will have to give the varoma method a try. so much easier to cook and clean in the TM nowadays. great to see all you girls last night :-*
