      TM 5
      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

Serve with a green salad

 

You can add drained and chopped sardines to the meat

Add some fresh herbs like parsley, thyme or dill in step 2 to give a different flavour

Lemon Juice amount to your liking, I like to add rather more than less as it gives it a hollaindaise kind of taste

You could mash your potatoes after steaming. But the classic German dish comes with just boiled potatoes like most German main meals
