Yesterday was a great day. I removed Breadmaker, mixer, bulky accessories, blender, the old TM2200... and installed my brand new Thermomix. In the drawer of accessories there are no more bulky accessories but only: the spatula, the butterfly whip, the book "A table avec Thermomix", a notebook and a pencil.
My equipment is reduced now to:
- A KitchenAid mixer
- The Thermomix
Of course I played with "my precious" and I cooked up lunch with ingredients found in the cupboard and the freezer as follows:
Ingredients for 2 persons
100 g of quinoa
250 g of meat chopped and spiced for kefta
1 small onion
1 clove garlic
1 can of crushed tomatoes
Thyme
Oregano
Salt and pepper
125 g of white wine
1 jar of green beans
Rinse well the quinoa to remove the saponin.
Weigh 1 kg of hot water into the bowl of TMX, bring to boils, V3, 100 ° C. As soon as it boils, add the cooking basket filled with quinoa. Cook 10 min/100 ° C/speed 3. Store the quinoa in an insulated box.
I had chopped and spiced meat in the freezer, purchased at the Hallal butcher of the corner, remnant of a barbecue made a few months earlier. I made meat balls that I placed in the cooking basket.
In the bowl of TMX, I chopped 1 small onion and a clove of garlic, 5 sec/speed 5.
I scraped down everything with the spatula and added 2 tablespoons olive oil and then cooked 8 min/100 °C/speed 3.
I added 1 can of peeled tomatoes and a 125 g of white wine. At this time I placed the cooking basket in the bowl, closed the lid with the varoma where I had placed canned green beans and cooked at Varoma temp./speed 3 for 10 minutes.
After this time I removed the varoma and the cooking basket.
5 sec at speed 10 to properly mix the sauce.
I served the meatballs topped with sauce, accompanied by green beans and quinoa.
And as usual, I zapped the photo. I'll be obliged to cook this again just in order to shoot the photo :-)
Ah yes, did I tell you that it was really yummy ?
