  Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!

Recipe's preparation

Pie Filling

Add cauliflower florets (350g) to mixing bowl and chop 5 seconds speed 4 to make a 'rice'. Transfer into the varoma dish.

Remove stems of silverbeet. Rinse leaves and place into varoma dish with the cauliflower.

Fill mixing bowl with 400g water and steam, varoma temp spd 1 for 10 mins or until the silverbeet is lightly wilted. Set varoma aside to cool and pour out water from bowl. (Can be used for something else like stock or a sauce.)

Pre-heat oven to 180 C.
.

Place all cashew cream ingredients into mixing bowl. Blend 20 seconds speed 6. Scrape down sides of bowl. Repeat a few times till desired consistency is reached. (It doesn't matter if it's a little bit coarse.)
Set aside in a separate bowl, scraping as much as you can out with the spatula.

No need to wash mixing bowl.

Place onion into bowl. Chop 2 seconds, speed 7. Add olive oil and saute 3 mins/ 100 C/ Spd 1.
.

Add cauliflower and silverbeet to mixing bowl (Squeeze out any excess liquid if necessary).
Add cashew cheese mix, eggs, nutmeg and salt and pepper. Mix on spd 6 for 5 seconds.
.

Grease Pie dish. Roll out 1/2 of the grain free dough between two sheets of baking paper. Make it big enough to cover entire pie dish and overlap the edges.

Add the pie filling from the mixing bowl.

Roll out the remaining dough big enough to just cover the top of the pie dish. Press around the edges with a fork to seal the 2 pieces together. Trim edges and poke a few holes in the top with the fork to help release steam. Brush the top with a beaten egg (this will help brown the pastry).

Place in the oven and bake for 30 minutes or until the pastry is lightly browned.

Tip

You can use any pastry with the filling, but if you are wanting paleo or gluten free, you cannot go past the 'basic grain free dough' from the life changing food cookbook. You can get the cookbook in an app form if you can't afford the book. Well worth the investment simply for this dough recipe alone.
