Thermomix Grabbit Soup

I had an assortment of left over vegetables in the fridge today so I thought that I would make Grabbit Soup from the Demonstrator Delights Cook Book.
I weighed out the 350g of Vegetables. The first step is to melt 50g Butter and then add the Vegetables with ,2 Cloves of Garlic and an Onion in quarters.

 
These are chopped for 5 seconds / speed 6. Then I scraped down the bowl and added the chopped Potato, 750g boiled Water and 3 teaspoons of Stock Powder. I then cooked it for 18 minutes / 100c / spoon speed.

Above and below are  before and after cooking photos.

I then added a handful of frozen Parsley, Salt and Pepper and then whizzed it for 30 seconds/ speed 10. I am still amazed at the deliciously smooth texture of Soups made in the Thermomix.
I served the Soup with home made Multi Grain Rolls - kneaded in the Thermomix!.

Plum and Apple Pudding with Salted Caramel Sauce.

On Monday we had our Team Meeting in Conwy and Frances cooked a delicious Vegetable Biryani from the new Thermomix Indian Cook Book. I took along a Plum and Apple Dessert. I got the recipe from BBC Food and adapted it to the Thermomix.
first I choped the Root Ginger and Pecans.

Then I ground the Demerara Sugar in 2 seconds at speed 10 to make Brown Caster Sugar.
I chopped the Apple and Plums in seconds and then mixed the cake mixture which included Cinnamon (Ground from Cinnamon Sticks in the Thermomix - tastes much better!) and Nutmeg.

Above is the baked Pudding. Below is the Salted Caramel Sauce that I made to go with it!
This was made in 7 minutes in the Thermomix! The only problem was that I forgot to take it with me to the Team Meeting.

Thermomix Jamaican Gingerbread

At last I made some Jamaican Gingerbread in my Thermomix. I found the Recipe HERE on the Passionate Pantry Blog.

First you sift the dry ingredients in the Thermomix for 10 seconds at speed 4 and put them in a bowl.

Then you chop the Ginger Root.

 I used Black Treacle instead of Molasses and it was fine.
 I weighed and melted the Sugar, Black Treacle, Golden Syrup and Butter.

I then added a few more ingredients including Sour Cream, Eggs and Orange Zest and mixed those in.

You then add the dry ingredients that you sited earlier.

And here is the finished cake. It was moist and yummy. I gave it to the ladies who came to my Craft Day and they seemed to enjoy it with a little bit of Butter!
