Rice pudding or steamed custard uses a lot of eggs (about 7 eggs for 1.2 litres of milk)

Hi Chris,
As has been said, the thermomix doesn't actually cook more quickly but it saves a lot of time in that you don't have to stir or watch to make sure it doesn't boil over. 
I was initially a little nervous about having a demo as i don't like to have a party and invite my friends to something that they feel pressured to buy or have a party so that i can get some sort of prize.  I really don't like this type of high powered selling or using my friends for my benefit.  Having said  that I had a demo as i wanted to see one in action, apart from seeing the thermomix in action which was amazing for the first time I was highly impressed with the consultant.  She did not pressure or coerce my friends at all during the presentation, nor did she pressure my the friends who showed some interest after the party was over.  I spoke to her about how impressed i was with her presentation and it seems to me that the thermomix philosophy is not like the other party sale schemes that you may have been to in the past.  So, if you are thinking of having a party i would say invite your friends along with the full assurance that they will not be coerced or pressured into buying a machine or to have a party themselves.
Hope this helps, Natalia

Hi everyone,
I was going to try your suggestions this afternoon and i made a last ditch effort to find the original recipe, I FOUND IT ,

ALI-OLI:

All ingredients at room temp (warm the egg in your hands for at least 10 mins if its fridge cold)

2 or 3 cloves garlic
squeeze lemon juice
half teaspoon white wine vinegar
half teaspoon salt & pepper to taste
1 whole egg
300g sunflower oil

Place all, except oil in THX, 10 seconds, speed 4.
Have oil weighed out previously into a jug
With MC placed and on speed 4, slowly and evenly pour oil onto lid, takes a couple of minutes, but works every time for me. Wink


In hot weather, do not keep, but in cool weather can keep for 2 or 3 days (if it lasts that long! Make sure you have plenty of crusty bread, you will need it! Tongue)

I had success first time!  The main difference i could see between the two recipes was that the first one i tried (listed on original post) and the one listed above was the spinning speed.  The first one said speed 7 when adding the oil but the one  i had success on listed a speed 4 when adding the oil.  I wonder if it was the speed that made the difference in the end or if i was just having a better day today.
Thanks again for all of your help, I really appreciated it, Natalia

Thanks ladies, the recipes you have linked are not the one I was looking for.   Cookie, the one you posted is the one I tried. Any ideas what I might be doing wrong? Is the vinegar sub for lemon juice a problem?  Can you spin/process it for too long? Thanks for your thoughts, Natalia

Cooked this tonight and it was yummy.  A little hot for our family though, next time I would only put 3- 4 chillis in it.  An extra tin of coconut cream helped to cool it down a little.  Thanks for posting this recipie.

Thanks ladies, yes perhaps just asking this question on google might work, I will give it a go otherwise I will just have to go to the store.  Yes definitely having fun with the tmx. I think I have almost worn it out today.

Hi, what temperature do you cook the mince at? Thanks.
