Cooking up a storm in the Thermomix

After being on holidays and eating out a lot hubby and I have come home all inspired to cook.  So that is just what we have been doing this week.

Steamed Pork and Rice balls.

These were declicious.  I remember having these as a kid but we called them hedghogs and mum made them from beef mince not pork.
I have a thermomix so my recipes are cooked in there.
But super easy and could be adapted to those without a thermomix.

Soak 200g jasmine rice in cold water for 30 min, then drain.
Chop 4 spring onions, 2 tbs water chestnuts, 3 cloves garlic and 3 cm piece of ginger.
Add 500g prok mince and combine.
Add salt to taste.
Roll into walnut sized balls and coat each ball in rice.
Steam balls until cooked.

Aloo Tikki or Lentil and Potato Patties.

Cook and mash 350g potatoes.  Add to potatoe mash 3 green chillies, 1/2 tsp tumeric, 1/2 tsp garam masala, 1/2 tsp salt.Cook 200g split red lentils and combine with 20g piece ginger chopped, 3 cloves garlic, 3 fresh chillies, 1/2 tsp cumin, 1 tbs ground coriander, 1 tsp salt and 50g peas.

Dust hands with flour and take a golf ball size amount of potatoe mix.  Place 2tsp of lentil mix in centre and draw potatoe over.  Roll each in breqdcrumbs before shalow frying.

Both recipes are delicious served with a dipping sauce of sweet chilli sauce mixed with lime juice and soy sauce.

Enjoy!
