I vaguely remember doing something similar to this last summer and really enjoying it. So I recreated as best I could remember. It’s a lovely summer meal served with a salad and leftovers are perfect for lunch boxes. Tuna & Cream Cheese Rolls. 485g tin tuna in springwater 250g block cream cheese 1/2 red onion, […]
I was running a bit late tonight so had a quick peek in the fridge to see what I could whip up in a hurry. I found a bit of leftover cured salmon, a couple of mushrooms and a dash of cream on it’s last legs. Brilliant. Not much quicker and easier than pasta. Creamy […]
I did this with filo pastry simply because I had some that needed using up. Of course you could use shortcrust but I actually preferred the lightness of filo in the warmer weather. I served it with mash and salad. Like most thermomix meals it’s super quick and easy to prepare. Thermomix Steak and Kidney […]
I read somewhere that the perfect meat to fat ratio for sausages is 70:30. I thought I’d try and skimp slightly on that with these because of the oiliness of the pesto (and the rogue 2kg I need to lose before the Bread Winner’s Christmas Party on the 13th). Not a good idea. The flavour […]
This is a slight variation on the Florentine recipe in World Breads. As usual, it’s a thermomix adaptation. It made lovely rustic, cheesy batons that will be a lovely lunch tomorrow. Parmesan, Spelt and Wheat Bread 250g wheat grain 250g spelt grain 100g grana padano 7g dried yeast 1 teaspoon salt 1 large egg 3 […]
A divine big steak of yellow fin tuna caught my roving eye at the market this morning. Fresh in off the boat too. I had dreams of it being good enough to make a carpaccio. I brought it home and froze it for half an hour so as to slice it more easily, sliced off […]
This is a Charmaine Solomon recipe, I’ve just adjusted it for use in the Thermomix. Much easier to make this way. In the pre-Thermomix days, the kneading stage used to drive me to distraction. Cheese Koftas in Creamy Sauce 2 litres full cream milk 60 ml lemon juice 3 tablespoons coriander, finely chopped 2 tablespoons […]
As usual, we’re out of bread. I rather fancy something pita like for lunches tomorrow so I thought I would see what I could devise in the thermomix. Thermomix Oat & Spelt Pita Bread 4 1/2 cups freshly ground spelt flour (wheat would work but would probably need a fraction more water) 2 cups oats […]
OK, maybe not the exact, precise, traditional beurre blanc but it’s the way I threw it together and served it over lovely firm white fish fillets with a green salad. Lovely hot night dinner. Thermomix Beurre Blanc Style Sauce Over Fish 4 firm white fish fillets. 40g butter 2 cloves garlic 2 shallots 1/3 cup […]
Here is my first attempt at curing salmon. I only used a small piece in case things went pear shaped. Vanilla vodka and orange cured salmon 330g piece of salmon 50g Murray River salt crystals 50g rapadura 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed orange juice 2 tablespoons Vodka, infused with a vanilla bean (mine has had the […]
