Title: All time favourite main meal recipe
Post by: Montoya on December 20, 2011, 07:03:41 am

Hi everyone,
I was wondering what everyone's favourite (1only) main meal done in the thermomix is?
Thanks

Not sure what mine is but the rest of the family would be saying Chunky Chilli Beef with the Creamy Lemon Fetta. They get so excited when I say we are having it for dinner. From the cook's point of view it's really easy to make and tastes great.

Thanks Twitter. I have 2 daughters (11 and 9) and it sounds yummy. Is the recipe in the EDC?

My family love Creamy Tomato & Salami Fettuccine (EDC p.89); we made vegetarian with mushroom, less cream and spaghetti no.3

I don't have 1 favourite, many recipes I only make once but that doesn't mean I didn't like them - there are just too many recipes around to not try something different most of the time.

Ok both printed out and in my recipe folders to try. Judy, which recipe that you have tried really surprised you in flavour?

Butter chicken (indian cookbook) and chicken stroganoff (EDC)

That's an easy one to answer Yvette.  Tuna Noodle Corn Casserole (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=1618.0) - I have made that one a few times and I just love it.

I've only had my Tmx 7 weeks Montoya but ive used it every day sometimes 3 or 4 times in one day. My favorite at the moment is the mustard brandy chicken from pg 40 of the gluten free cookbook with some steamed veg in the varoma tray :) my second fav is the Chinese pepper steak from the meat on the menu book. What is yours??

Here's the Mustard Brandy Chicken  (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=2902.0) recipe Montoya - it has been posted on the forum if you don't have the Gluten Free book.

I've only had my TMX for a few weeks, but so far our favorite is Jo's cashew chicken from her blog - Quirky Cooking.
The cashew sauce is amazing!

(not sure how to post a link to her blog, but if you google "quirky cooking cashew chicken" it's there)

Here (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=5335.0) it is

Thanks again everyone. I've printed them all out. Lisa, I haven't even got my thermie yet but I am PREPARED with lots of yummy recipes to try. Will let you know when I start using it. I get the feeling that the recipes here are more tasty than the recipes in the EDC so that is why I am trying to be organised beforehand.

great thread - I havent made too many mains but did like the Beef Strogonoff - although it had too much water for me so I have made a note to reduce it.

Also the Beef Madras was good - with a bit of tweaking

Mine is Quirky Jo's lentil bolognaise. A regular in this house, but must have the sundried tomatoes in it. http://quirkycooking.blogspot.com/2009/01/lentil-bolognese.html (http://quirkycooking.blogspot.com/2009/01/lentil-bolognese.html)

Great thread Montoya, I'm new to TMX as well so this is giving me some good ideas. I'm struggling to find main meals that the kids love (6 & 8yo) but I can recommend the beef stroganoff from the EDC, definitely worth trying.

Post by: Montoya on December 21, 2011, 05:20:03 am

Thanks Auds and deedub! Thought it would be good to get the professional thermie users opinion as they know what they are talking about.

Hard to pick a favourite but can't go past quirky jo's chicken and cashews and Chelsea's garlic prawn risotto.

Which recipe are you after p9?

My favourite TMX recipe is Rainbow's Easy Carbonara (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=3442.0). I make this a million different ways - sometimes with mushrooms, sometimes with sundried tomatoes and salami, sometimes with chicken, it's just delicious and so easy. I don't always use cream, sometimes I use Skinny Tinny (Light Evaporated Milk).

p9 - the link takes you to the second page of the recipe... if you click on [1] at the top left, you'll find the recipe.

Hope this helps

Thanks everyone. Go the recipe now. If I had a brain, I'd be dangerous, wouldn't I?
