      Recipe is created for
      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.

Recipe's preparation

  1. 1. Preheat oven to 180°C/160°C fan forced. Place whole kumara in oven and bake for 1.5hours until tender.

    2. Grate palm sugar in the Thermomix bowl, 5 seconds speed 9 and set aside.

    3. Grate ginger in Thermomix, 5 seconds speed 6, leave 1/2 tablespoon in the TM bowl.

    4. Place the remaining 1.5 tablespoons ginger in a separate bowl with 1/2 cup water and leave to infuse for 20 minutes. Strain before using.

    5. Add the garlic, chilli, 1 strip of lime rind, coriander roots and stalks and lemongrass (roughly chopped white part only, reserving the rest for aromatics) to the ginger in the TM bowl and mince on speed 7 for 10 seconds, scrape down bowl and repeat if necessary.

    6. Add vegetable oil and cook for 6 minutes, 100oC, Counter-clockwise operationGentle stir setting

    7. Add torn lime leaf and coconut cream. Cook 30 minutes, 80oC, Counter-clockwise operationGentle stir setting

    8. Place palm sugar, fish sauce and 1.5 tablespoons of the lime juice (reserving the rest of the lime for aromatics) slowly turn the speed up to Speed 9 for 20 seconds. Strain the sauce into a saucepan (reserve the dregs for aromatics) and keep this warm.

    9. Don't wash the TM bowl and place; 900ml boiling water, chopped remains of lemon grass, remains of the lime, extra ginger, star anise and dregs from the sauce into the TM bowl. Place the barramundi fillets into the Veroma bowl, place this on top of the TM and steam over the aromatic water for 15 minutes, Veroma, Speed 3. Keep warm. I have a spare TM bowl and so just put it to the side, still sitting over the aromatic water, while I make the mash.

    10. Meanwhile peel baked kumara, place it in TM bowl, add ginger water from step 4, salt and pepper to tase and butter. Add the butterfly and mash for 1 minute on speed 3-4.

    11. To serve pour some coconut sauce onto the plate, top with mash, then fish, sprinkle with the crispy shallots, extra lime leaf, coriander leaf and place a lime wedge on the side.
