Ok, I'm a very new user of the Thermomix and when I read a recipe, I'm one of those people who follow each detail - especially with a very new and different machine!
The above recipe advises to "add tomato puree, salt and olives ... then cook for 20-25 minutes, etc". However, right
AFTER these instructions, you are told to place the varoma with meat and vegetables into position.
Then it continues ... "at the end of cooking place the meat and veges on a serving platter ...".
I am presuming that the varoma containing the meat and veges should be "placed into position"
BEFORE cooking for 20-25 mins. Sorry to appear naive but I figure cook books usually know what they're talking about more than I do!
