Tips/Hints:
This is a modification of the recipe on p 39 of the TM Everyday cooking book.
My lovely TM consultant actually modified all the recipes at my demo so I could eat them - this is one she did and I have further modified.

ralo, i think i need to talk to you! i am having food issues atm which i am trying to identify - have been gluten free after testing neg for coeliac disease but it's not helping, so am going dairy free as of tomorrow. someone suggested fructose malabsorption which seems a possibility given that golden delicious apples are the only apples i can eat along with other stuff i can't remember lol. 

i forgot to write the second part of my post LOL what are the issues for you? why are golden delicious apples better than others?

Thanks ralo, not being a Failsafe and not having the original recipe, what was modified?  What had salicylates in them.

I switched the granny smith for a golden delicious (less salycilates)
Used parsley instead of coriander (same reason)
Water & citric acid instead of lemon juice
added leek instead of red onion (salycilates again)
added celery

ROFL Thermomixer...I am with you!  Although we think our 4 yo might have some food problems trialling some things atm. :/

What is the problem with salycilates ?

[brazen20au]

some people are sensitive to them and find they affect their behaviour and health

I tried this recipe tonight - thank you for posting it!  Can I just check the details - was it supposed to be a whole red onion?  It seemed very 'oniony'!!
Thanks!!

It really impressed my husband - who has been getting rather cheesed off with the quantity of weight increasing (!!) items issuing forth from the TM.

Thx again!
