ummmm.... i just always have, that's how my mum made it... i guess it hides a few veges for some fussy kids and also bulks up the mince a bit... i've just worked out that if i chop on about sp5 it is better than speed 10 which turns it to mush!
HI There, i cook my mince in the tmx. I use the same mince recipe for sgetti bolognaise and lasagne. I found a chunkier mince recipe on some forum and i have had a go at cooking mince 3 or 4 times. First was great 2nd not so well , 3rd a disaster and 4th was great! I think the trick is to NOT go over speed and it MUST be on . I also use my own sauce which is slow roasted tomato, garlic, onion and some herbs. whizz it a bit in the tmx to smooth it out. I freeze it for use later. So when i make the mince, i grate some onion, carrot and zucchini, add the tomato sauce and cook for about 8 mins on 100. Then i add the mince through the hole in top of lid and cook for another 8 - 15 minutes (depending whether or not i think it's cooked!)
I hope that helps! It's certainly easier than cooking it on the stove... no standing there stiring and i no longer have burnt mince!
I'm a new owner too and we kill our our beef and eat a lot of mince! Lasgane is my fave food... so for me it was essential that i perfect it! just keep trying...
Oh i'd love a thick and creamy vanilla yoghurt recipe... would anybody be able to share? I dislike plain natural yoghurt. Kids love store bought yoghurt. I am trying to make a nice creamy vanilla yoghurt that perhaps i can set in baby food jars to send to school with them?? Anybody got any suggestions? Cheers
