Thermomix Middle Eastern Cuisine

Tagines and couscous in Thermomix middle eastern recipes

A tagine needs patient cooking so the spices and the vegetables blend. The bowl simmers the sauce with onions, ginger, cumin and cinnamon, and the Varoma steams the couscous above it. In about an hour, you have a full meal. Add dried apricots or olives for contrast.

Couscous grains need steam, not boiling. The Varoma gives you light, separate grains. Then you fluff them with a little oil and serve them under the stew.

Mezze and breads

Mezze are small plates for sharing. Hummus, eggplant dip and tomato salad all blend or chop well in the bowl. Moreover, a dip takes less than five minutes. Set them on a table with flatbread, and your guests can help themselves.

Flatbread and other breads need only a simple dough. Knead it with the Thermomix, let it rise, and roll it thin. Cook the rounds in a hot pan for a couple of minutes on each side.

Finally, remember that a meal here is meant to be shared. Bring the pot to the center of the table, add bread, and let everyone serve themselves. The atmosphere matters as much as the recipe.

Spices and organization

Stock your pantry with cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric and cinnamon. Toast whole spices lightly before grinding them, because that deepens the flavor. Prepare the spice mixes in advance, and you gain time on busy evenings.

Many of these dishes taste better the next day, so cook ahead for a party. If you love sweet endings, visit partner sites or ask for ideas through contact. The site map lists every section.
