      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.

    Absolutely delicious! Big hit in our household and will be a regular from now on. I had plenty of mixture for the centres left over so have frozen this for the next time I make it. I've also featured your recipe on my Thermie FB page for my followers to see, here's the link:

    We made these last week and they were beautiful. A great way to get spinach into my 1 and 4 year old girls. I followed the lead of the previous comments and cut the cheese mixture in half, and we still had plenty. I also made mine into smaller balls for my girls, and they were perfect, so they'd be a fantastic party food.

    Absolutely delicious!  Made 1kg of the chicken and twice the crumb mixture because I had plenty of the cheesy spinach mixture which easily gives you for 2 batches as is. Very tasty and yummy. Saved in my favourites

  • This was delish thank you! I

    Submitted by nchila on 19. April 2016 - 21:07.

    This was delish thank you! I substituted the cashews for almonds and a few sunflower seeds, and cream cheese for ricotta and it worked perfectly. Also used tasty cheese (not moz) and just cubed it, not grated to save time. Heaps of spinach/cheese mixure left over so have frozen in ice cube trays for next time (enough for at least 2 more batches). Thanks..kids all loved it. Will be a regular in our house! Quick, heathly(ish!) and yum!
