Cheesy Tuna Strudels http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=2883.30

[judydawn]

Well not exactly but I just presumed it was.  Thanks fundj, know the one you mean.

[fundj&e]

Are you going to make little ones jd. if you have some mixture left  will you be freezing it ?
I would like you know if it freezes well

[judydawn]

Do you mean Chelsea's Cheesy Tuna Strudel filling fundj?  I've frozen the baked strudels but don't know how the uncooked filling would freeze.  I'd be inclined to make as many pies as the filling will make and then freeze them but someone may know if the uncooked filling would freeze OK.

[fundj&e]

yes Chelsea's Cheesy Tuna Strudel filling. would like to make a double batch next time.

i think is would make a nice pasta sauce with the addition of avocado and  yogurt

If anyone could pull it off fundj, it would be you     Let us know if you try it and how it goes.

Hi All,

If you don't have the Sunbeam, you can go online to www.sunbeam.com.au  On there you can download the manual which has quite a few recipes in it.  All free!!!

In this week's woman's day this is Curtis Stones meat pie recipe:

2 tbls olive oil
500g beef casserole chuck steak cut into 1cm cubes
2and a half tbls plain flour
1 onion finely chopped
1 garlic clove finely chopped
1 carrot peeled finely chopped
1 celery stalk finely chopped
1 teaspoon groung coriander
1 tbls soy sauce
1 tbls worcestershire sauce
1and a hald cups beef stock
4 sheets frozen puff pastry
1 egg beaten


1.  Heat 1 tbls olive oil in a medium heavy based saucepan over high heat. Coat meat in flour and brown well in pan.

2.  Reduce heat to medium and add extra oil to pan. Saute onion and garlic 4 minutes. Add carrot and celery and cook a further 4 minutes. Add coriander, soy and worcestershire sauce, and cook until almost dry. Add stock and cook for 1 hour or until meat is tender and sauce is thick. Allow to cool.

There are more steps but those of us with pie makers can then add them to our pastry and cook in pie maker

I hadn't thought of making muffins in the pie maker but thanks to your link with Sunbeam leesmac78, I made up an instant batch of muffins. Mine had glace cherries and choc chips in. The first 4 were a mess.  :(The recipe said to use paper cases but these became distorted when the lid was closed and most of the mixture was stuck on the lid.  :'(I decided to have a go using these plastic bun (not muffin) cases that I have. You can see that these turned out quite well though I will put more mixture in next time. The case does need to be lower than the pie base for buns to work.  I did try one bun without any case which did work but I thought  that the non stick surface would not last so well doing this. It has to be said that the bottom of the buns brown more quickly than the tops so they are cooked when the buns show a very light colour. Here is a copy of the recipe adapted for the Thermomix. I am calling them buns because the pie maker is not big enough for muffin cases.

Name Blueberry choc chip Buns    

1 cup        self raising flour   
1/2 cup        caster sugar   
60G g        choc bits   
1        egg, lightly beaten   
1/4 cup        oil   
1/3 cup        milk   
100 g        100g blueberries or other fruit   


 
1   Grind the sugar to caster 3 secs/ speed 10
2   Add flour to sugar mix 3 secs/speed 4 ,
3   Mix together, egg, oil and milk. Stir into flour mixture.3 secs/speed 4
4   Add blueberries and choc bits in the TMX. Mix well.stir until just combined. speed 2 reverse
5   Place a double layer of muffin cases into the Pie Magic. Spoon ¼ cup of the mixture into the prepared pie maker and cook for approximately 6 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

Preparation time: 10 minutes

thanks DD for your RV i was looking at those ones 2

[judydawn]

DD, could you just put a circle of baking paper in the base and bake your buns that way?

Thanks Yvette, could be adapted for the TMX easily.
