      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.

    Really enjoyed this recipe, roasted pumpkin and didnt mash it so there was a combo of mash and peices at the end. Also added a bit more spinach.

  • I enjoyed this - I added

    I enjoyed this - I added bacon at the saute step rather than chicken. my liquid chicken stock was the extra that came from making the all in one roast chicken dinner.
