      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.

Tip

If you prefer a smoother consistency, take the risotto out of the bowl, add the pumpkin and sweet potato & then re-add the risotto, this should mash the two on the bottom but only very slightly. Also, if you prefer to use the butterfly whisk, put it in step 4 just prior to step 5

    I’ve never been a massive fan of thermie risotto but this one was very tasty - even when omitting the cream.

    I found this a bit flavourless in all honesty. It needs something else, herbs & spices, maybe dill or parsley. Not sure. I will definitely make again as I liked it & it wad super easy but will add some herbs & spices next time. Oh and TIP make sure you grate the parmesan first!

    Loved this and so did my family. My pumpkin and sweet potato were cooked adequately. I added some baby spinach in the Thermoserver and stirred it through. Will definitely make again.

    Makes so much which is great for a family. Roasted the pumpkin and added fried bacon at end instead of chicken.

    Made this a couple of nights ago. It made quite a bit, so fed our family of five easily and there's heaps left! The flavour is great, even better the next time you eat it. Will definitely be one I make again!
