Meyer Lemon Sauce

Perhaps this should be called RAW Lemon Sauce!
Ingredients
2 large Meyer Lemons, 1/4 and seeds removed.,
2 dessert spoons of simple syrup. ( 1/2 cup each sugar and water boiled for 3 minutes)

Method
Place lemons and sugar syrup into TMX and mix, speed 10 for 1 minute. 
Scrape down and mix again speed 7 for 1 minute. 

Notes 
Will keep for 2 days. 
I am serving this with Veroma steamed Salmon , grilled Semolina wedges and salad from the garden.
Could be thinned with a little olive oil and a bit of honey , use as a salad dressing. 

This was adaped to TMX from a recipe in Epicurious .

Cauliflower and Kohlrabi Mash

This recipe is for people watching their carb count.
Cauliflower has 1.9 carbs per 100g.
Kohlrabi has 4.2 carbs per 100g.
Compared with potato that has 12.3 carbs per 100 g.

Ingredients

Medium size head of cauliflower, cut into chunk
1 large Kohlrabi peeled and cut into 2 cm dice.
1 heaped table spoon of Greek yogurt.
1 dessertspoon of grated horseradish
Salt and pepper to taste
2 x 1/4 cups of chives

Method
Place 1 litres of water in TMX bowl and set 30 minutes, speed 4, varoma temperature.
Place Varoma dish on TMX and add Kohlrabi and Cauliflower. Steam until soft.( Kohlrabi takes longer than Cauliflower to steam.)
When soft, tip out water and add Cauliflower and kohlrabi to bowl with yogurt, horseradish and salt and pepper.
Mash on speed 7 until a creamy mash.
Add 1/4 cup of chives and fold in at speed 4.
Place into serving dish and sprinkle remaining chives over top.

Notes.
I used home grown horseradish. Bought ok. ( I think grain mustard would also be ok)
Finished dish can be reheated in Microwave.
Very good substitute for mashed potato , pasta or rice.
I served it with crumbed Chicken fillets and salad.

Stir Fry Mix, Garlic ,Ginger and Onion

This year I panted 44 Garlic cloves.  I have just harvested them and have processed most for use during the year. Most i have frozen whole vacuum packed, some i minced in the TMX and froze in snack size packs, and some i combined with Ginger and onion to use as a base in Stir Fry.

Place equal amounts of Garlic, green ginger and brown onion in TMX bowl , with a splash of olive oil, and chop on speed 7 for 5 seconds or to your liking.. 
Notes. 
I only roughly peel ginger and chop it into discs. 
Peel and 1/4 onion. 
Place in snack bags, excluding air. Label and freeze flat.
Snap off the amount required for stir fry. 
I buy the ginger when it is cheap and freeze it or preserve it in Vodka. 
Change proportions to suit taste. 

Chocolate Wheaty Biscuits

I have converted this recipe to TMX, from a lovely book by Michelle Crawford, A Table in the Orchard. With the TMX they are very easy to make. I doubled the original recipe. I intend to package up some in pretty bags for those unexpected Xmas presents. 

Makes 36

Preheat oven to 180 o C
Line 3 oven sheets with baking paper



Ingregients

240g rolled oats
240 wholemeal flour, Spelt if available
120 g of dark muscovado sugar, (a mix of raw and dark brown ok)
1 teaspoon of carb soda
1 teaspoon of salt
240 g butter
1 to 2 tablespoons of milk

240 g of chocolate to coat

Method

Place oats in bowl and mix for a few seconds until they are of a course consistency.
Add all other ingredients to bowl, EXCEPT milk and chocolate. Mix until butter forms call bread crumb size grains. 
Add 1 tablespoon of milk and mix on reverse speed 3 until mixture starts to clump together.  If mix is too dry, add another tablespoon of milk. ( after first tablespoon of milk I pinch together a small amount of mixture. If it comes together, don't add second tablespoon of milk. 
Remove mixture from bowl and form into a large flat disc on Silat.
Cut disc into 4 with plastic scraper and form each 1/4 into a disc, wrap in plastic and place in fridge for 20 minutes to firm up. ( can remain in fridge for a day or more).
Remove from fridge and roll between two layers of baking paper until 1/2 thick. 
Cut discs with 7cm scone cutter and place on baking tray and bake for 20 minutes.
Cool on wire rack. 

Ice with melted chocolate and leave some plain. 

Notes. 
I think the unbaked 1/4 discs would freeze well. 
As the dough holds together well, it is better to err on the thin side rather than thick. I have converted this recipe to TMX, from a lovely book by Michelle Crawford, A Table in the Orchard. With the TMX they are very easy to make. I doubled the original recipe. I intend to package up some in pretty bags for those unexpected Xmas presents.

Kefir Bircher Muesli

Love this as it is nice as is , but you can add extra fruit or / and seeds. I have added Chia seeds to the basic recipe for an extra Omega 3 kick. 
Ingredients
Rolled oats 100g
Kefir made with lo Fat milk, 250g
1 Apple,  quartered, cored, wash but leave skin on. 
Chia seeds, 14 g. 

Method
Place all in TMX bowl and mix 30 seconds, speed 4. 
Store in Fridge. 

Notes. 
This makes just under 2 cups, with 1 serve 1/2 a cup.
1/2 cup serve is approximately 235 calories. 
Store in fridge for up to 4 days.
Can sweeten, but I have not found this necessary.
