      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.

    I had to vary this recipe a little to use up what I had - 8 rashers bacon, vege stock not chicken, green pesto not red, didn't have much spinach so add some rocket as well - but followed the recipe otherwise. Rested 10 minutes in Thermoserver and it was delicious!!! I will definitely make this again; very versatile. Thank you for sharing Smile
