      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.

  • Disappointed! My chicken thigh was shredded, so...

    Disappointed! My chicken thigh was shredded, so this meal ended up being used for baby food for my toddler. I think the cooking time is way too long for the recipe which was probably the reason for it shredding. I liked the flavour albeit very sweet.

    I cooked the recipe in my TM31 and used approx 600g of chicken thigh but could only fit in 250ml of chicken stock to the bowl. If you're using a TM31 use smaller quantities.

  • The couscous can be steamed

    The couscous can be steamed in the veroma and absorbes some of the spices!

  • thanks, I liked this, it

    Submitted by courtney226 on 10. November 2015 - 19:57.

    thanks, I liked this, it wasn't too zingy but I like things very mild and my bub will eat it. I also skipped a few steps (by accident!) didn't saute the spices and also omitted the apricots, so that may make a difference. But all my chicken came out shredded even though I had it on reverse, anyone know why?? I am a newbie so surely there has to be a trick! I used chicken breast instead of thigh...
