Amazing!

Amazing...that’s the only word I can use to describe the Thermomix! We made this chicken, leek and corn risotto last night (using the vege stock paste I had made earlier), and it was honestly one of the yummiest risottos I have EVER had!

As soon as we had finished dinner, my man immediately said he wanted to use the Thermie to make something else! I hadn’t prepared for this and didn’t have much in the way of ingredients, but we were able to make a super easy and delicious sorbet! Using the guided recipe from The Basic Cookbook chip, we milled 60gm of organic raw sugar for 10 seconds on speed 10, then added 500gm of organic frozen strawberries and blended on speed 5 for 1 minute 30 seconds...instant strawberry sorbet! So tasty and not terribly unhealthy either...!

The sorbet doesn’t look like much in the picture because I just spooned it straight out of the mixing bowl but it certainly tasted much much better than it looks! (I need to work on my photography skills for this blog...)

Tonight we are going to make meatballs with tomato sauce served with mashed potatoes. We have some friends popping in for dinner (including a very discerning toddler who will no doubt make her feelings known if she isn’t impressed with her meal!) so the pressure is well and truly on!
