      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.

Tip

I like to serve this with  zucchinin ribbons and crumbled feta cheese.

Alternatively serve with rice or pasta.

Extras can be frozen and reheated in a ceramic or glass dish in Varoma tray.

Meatballs steam beautifully retaining their moisture with little shrinkage
