She’s Here...!

Uma Thermie is officially in the building...! And she is beautiful. I’m so excited, I have been googling dozens of recipes and religiously stalking other Thermomix blogs and Facebook pages to get recipes and inspiration...and now I can finally start making things!

The first thing I made, with the help of my Thermie consultant, was the vegie stock paste. So easy, relatively cheap, smells amazing and made me feel like a proper chef! But best of all I know exactly what is in it! One tablespoon of this paste plus 500gm of water makes the equivalent of a 500ml carton of liquid stock from the supermarket. And one batch of this in the Thermie made 1.5 jars of stock paste. The recipe can be found here.

I am super excited to make the meat stock and the chicken stock next. They keep in the fridge for a couple of months, but most of the Thermie recipes call for stock of some description so I imagine I’ll use them up pretty quickly. My man and I are going to try a chicken, leek and corn risotto for dinner tonight so I will be sure to let you know how that goes! Stay tuned...
