Less prep time in the kitchen with your Thermomix


One of the things I love about my Thermomix is WAY less time PREPARING FOOD for cooking/eating. Did you know you don't even need to take the leaves off your strawberries before making a sorbet? There are great health benefits to incorporating the leaves, as I read here.

Here are some of the things we save time on:

Pumpkin soup - no need to peel or de-seed your pumpkin (butternut pumpkin)
Soup - no need to peel potatoes
Salads, CADA etc - no need to de-seed your apples
Chopping onions - only need to peel and cut in half
Peeling garlic - you can peel up to 30 cloves of garlic at once in your Thermomix! I have tried this and it is amazing! Just store the peeled cloves in the freezer
Mashed potato - some people don't even peel potatoes for their mash!

Using your Varoma pt 2 | Mexican Style Chicken 'Baked' Potatoes



{ Chilli Chicken and Beans 'Baked Potatoes' }

LOVE MY VAROMA and THERMOSERVERS!!

I steamed baby potatoes and 3 chicken breasts at the same time while prepping my chilli ingredients, grated cheese then shredded the chicken and set it aside in the Thermoserver to keep warm with the potatoes while my chilli sauce cooked for 13 minutes, add chicken back in, stir through and another meal is done. 

Served with baby potatoes, sour cream, grated cheese and sliced avocado


The finished result was amazing!!

Recipe was adapted from the White Chilli Chicken recipe in Meat on the Menu
