      If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
      For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.

Tip

I used Ricotta brought at the Deli counter.

You can add more anchovies if you wish but watch the amount of salt you add.

    Hi ya. I have only had my thermie for just over a week so am very new to this. 

    My question is, could I substitute the tuna with tinned salmon? 

     

    Thanks

  • Easy to make and the mix made

    Submitted by JeffnJulie on 20. December 2015 - 18:40.

    Easy to make and the mix made about 14 balls (quarter of a cup each). Guests enjoyed them which is always a good sign.They did stick to my oiled baking dish so I'll use a non-stick dish next time.
