      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.

    cant believe this has been on here for this long and there is no ratings or comments.... I was surprised when i saw it and then worried becuase i have never done this recipe in the thermomix and wasnt confident it would replicate the traditional kousa that i know.
    Can i say that it was amazing!
    i have to be honest that i didnt follow the recipe exactly, i am used to having the mince cooked prior to stuffing. I fried the mince with the onion on a pan in butter and then took it off the stove to added the rice, chopped parsley and tomatoe through it. Let it cool before filling the zucchinis and continue as per recipe.
    Oh and i added salt and pepper to the suffing and the sauce as well as left out the chillie and cumin. BEST EVER and so much more convient with the thermomix. Thanks for the recipe!
