I made this tonight and the flavours are lovely, but I think that chopping the onions for 5 sec on speed 5 is way to much, mine went to mush, I like to see a bit more onion structure in my jam! I think next time I will only chop them for maybe 2-3 sec and then hand slice a few as well to get some longer pieces in.
It simply looks quite ugly now, like brown sludge, rather annoying. Oh well, tastes great!

Nah I guess champagne  :)

I love my TM bolognese, I make it up as I go so don't really have a recipe, I use heaps of fresh herbs in every batch though.
I also hide HEAPS of veges for the kids, zucchini, capsicum, red beans, celery, carrots, it's about 40% meat and 60% vege, they are clueless and love it!

I just made this again tonight, it is so good! I have been using around 400g of tomato passata which is brilliant.
I prefer a more saucy tomatoey style!
I just use the rest of the jar within the week to make bolognese or something similar.

I wonder whether lamb fillet would work in this sauce?

My dinner tonight was divine  :)

Oh and by the way, if you top up your tomato paste with a layer of olive oil it won't go mouldy!

do you think you could use just chicken breast? I have a silly phobia about the whole chook!

Main Dishes / Sweet & Sour Chicken
« on: February 13, 2012, 09:03:35 am »
Sweet & Sour Chicken:
Maybe 4:

Ingredients:
3cm piece of ginger
2 cloves garlic
1 large onion (sliced by hand or in TM - I prefer big long shapes so by hand)
20g Olive Oil
1 tablespoon raw sugar
4 tablespoons soy sauce
225g tin of pineapple
1 large carrot (sliced)
1 large red capsicum (sliced)
6 large mushrooms (roughly chopped)
1 tomato (roughly chopped)
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon vinegar
2 tablespoons corn flour
100ml water
600g chicken breast (diced)


Preparation:
Add ginger and garlic to TM bowl and chop 2 sec speed 7
You can also add onion in with ginger and garlic to be chopped if you have not sliced it by hand.
Add sliced onion and saute 3 minutes, Varoma, Reverse (only if you have used hand sliced onions), Speed 1

Add sugar, soy sauce, tinned pineapple including juice, sliced carrot, sliced capsicum, chopped mushrooms, tomato, tomato paste and vinegar. Cook 100 degrees, Reverse, speed 1, 7 minutes

Add chicken

Mix corn flour and water together in separate glass and pour as much as required into TM bowl. O find the consstency of the sauce varies depending on the size of tomatoes etc so it is a bit of a wait and see approach as to how much thickening is required with corn flour.

Cook a further 10 minutes, 100 degrees, Reverse, speed 1

Serve with steamed rice


Tips/Hints:
I don't know how authentic this recipe is but the flavours are very nice. I add whatever vegies I have in the fridge, ie some snow peas or corn

Hope you like it, this is my first recipe conversion so fingers crossed! I can't figure out how to add a picture, will post when I figure it out  :)

bigTcup - Had this one - YUMM!  Didn't add mushrooms (I don't like them) & steamed broccolini, snowpeas & asparagus when I was cooking the rice.  I wanted to use baby corn instead of asparagus but the green grocer didn't have any.  Great, easy meal.  Will certainly be having this one again.

Disinterested - Made this whilst DW was out today and the kids said "this is yum you are nearly as good as mum".
One thing I did different was just chuck all the veggies in the pot and whiz them on full speed for a second or two.... beats choppin'.
Thanks for the recipe.

foodgroupie -  great week day meal!! family really enjoyed it, served with rice and steam veg, yum.
