I just found this old recipe in my Mum’s old cookbook and decided that it was time to bring it up to date so I could make it in the TM6. It has always been a favourite but now, with the TM6 I can make it so quickly and I also save on the mess. The TM6 has a Preclean setting that makes the clean up very easy. I have an old TM31 Thermomix as well and I used it to cook the rice at the same time. A total nourishing meal in less than half and hour. What more can I say?
