Thanks Nik2WIN! I tried this recipe on the weekend. It was so simple to make but was totally delicious, was gobbled up quickly at my house!

Good one dad! Old family favourite, i like mine with a little more salsa ao i add about 100 - 120g.  Wondering how this would taste if I added a a bit of the chilli bbq chutney i bought the other day?!

Chardie18 - It's delicious.

McMich - was "souper" nice. Very welcome on a rainy, chilly night.

I loved this recipe! I tried it for the first time last night and it came out well to my suprise.  i was a little worried that it was going to be too runny but it was just nice and moist by the time it came out of the oven. I also made mine with a 1/3 sweet potato, 2/3 potato top and put them in a crust to cook which turned out rather nicely.  I also tried some zucchini chutney instead of the fruit chutney. 

Hi thermomixers!

I am have been using the thermomix forum for about a year now, however i have never taken the time to introduce myself.  Im Sarah, I got my thermomix for xmas in 2011from my parents and have found that it helps me eat healthier and makes me more adventurous in my cooking. My dad is also a member and introduced me to the forum. I really enjoy using the forum and am looking forward to adding my own recipes!
