      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.

Pork fillet, is also sold as pork tenderloin. We suggest using the highest quality pork that you can afford. Lean pork steak, with all visible fat removed, can also be used in this recipe.

Please refer to The Basic Cookbook or the Everyday Cookbook for the Chicken stock paste recipe.

    Just didn't quite click.

    Sliced the pork thinner after seeing the comments, and was cooked using these timeframes. I also put the capsicum in earlier.

    However, the balance of smokiness and sauce was out, even after using yoghurt to even out texture, but overall the flavour don't have a depth of flavours for the family.

    Had been looking forward to this meal, but was disappointed.
    I agree with previous comment, that it would have been better cooked on stove top or oven. Capsicum was raw, overall I felt the dish was not hot enough, probably because of the short cooking time. It tasted like raw onion to me. Will not make again.

    Submitted by The Bush Gourmand on 24. May 2017 - 21:32.

    I think this recipe is more suited to stovetop. The stew was very tasty, but capsicum wasn't cooked. Pilaf was tasty, but broccolini needed longer than cauliflower.

    I only made half the quantity and didn't adjust times at all.

    I'd make this again, but would do the sauce in the Thermomix and cook the stew on the stove or slow cook. I'd still steam the pilaf, but would put cauliflower on top of broccolini (and I'd add asparagus in last few minutes).

    Just made this today and the family loved it. I made some adjustments to suit our tastes and added a little sugar - I think it just lifts any currie or stew. I also slow cooked the parpika pork for one hour in the oven on 160 before serving as I had made the dish in the afternoon. It was perfect and not overcooked. Delicious.

    I liked the flavour of this dish but unfortunately my pork was tough and the cauliflower was very watery.. and that was after I cooked it for less time.

    Surprised my partner with this meal tonight (I am not a great cook so this was a surprise). The house smelled incredible and the taste was simply amazing (and feeling pretty proud of myself). This was fun to prepare and easy to follow. Thank you for the experience.

    Submitted by zackcat on 4. July 2016 - 17:17.

    I was looking forward to this, but found it a hard recipe to follow {I'm not a very experienced TM5 user} and the added step of the cauli pilaf and the steamed brocollini made it too complex. Sadly it didn't taste that great for us either, so won't be one we'll be making again.

    Submitted by Kaz 66 on 19. June 2016 - 11:15.

    I have a TM5 and cooked this tonight. Using pork scotch fillet steak. A little confused why people are saying longer, I followed recipe and cooked the meat for a total of 12 mins. I did only use 500gms of meat and cubed it in about 2-3 cm pieces. everyone enjoyed it. ( cooking time would vary on meat cut)

    When is says "recipe tested" ......who tests it? 

    I haven't made the recipe but it is just the last sentence in the tip that makes no sense. Pork fillet should not take long to cook. 40 minutes sounds right to me. 

     

    I notice that the last  confusing sentence has been removed from the tip so now the recipe should be fine.

  • Hi to everyone wanting to try

    Submitted by WHalmai on 16. June 2016 - 22:08.

    Hi to everyone wanting to try this recipe! As I said we really enjoyed the flavours with added chillie. I followed the recipe as per all other instructions. However, pork or any other meat is never going to be tender in 10 minutes so I tend to ignore this in most recipies I follow. The only thing I did different is the final cooking time which i just set to 40 min/90°C/counter-clockwise operation/speed Gentle stir setting - I cube the meat about the size of a 10c piece any larger you would probably need to extend your cooking time. I own the TM5. Sorry no idea who "tries" the recipies, other than enthusiastic users like ourselves looking for new things to try!

    Not that I know of. Check one of the other comments, someone cooked the stew for 40 minutes but I don't know what model they had. Good luck.

    Submitted by Armida on 16. June 2016 - 13:20.

    I am sorry if I am reading this recipe incorrectly, but your times do not add up. The total cooking time is listed as 45 minutes, yet the cumulative cooking time, for the stew, in the recipe is only 12 minutes. You say in the tips cook for 3 hours in TM31. Is there such a vast difference in cooking times between TM31 and TM5? Can you clarify please?
