You all remember the lovely Marion Grasby from Season 2 of MasterChef. She was everyone's favorite to win until that dreadful satay incident I still can't talk about. Since leaving the MasterChef competition Marion has been writing a monthly food column in MasterChef Magazine and happily divides the rest of her time between personal appearances, cooking demonstrations, private catering and various media activities. In April Marion release a range of 5 Thai dishes under the Marion's Kitchen label.
I picked up a box of Marion's Thai Red Curry at Simon's Gourmet during the week and I was impressed with how fresh and easy it was but I also knew this little box of goodness was just made for the Thermomix. I came home and set about converting the instructions on the back of the pack to Thermomix instructions and this is what I came up with:
Marion's Thai Red Curry in the Thermomix
Ingredients
1 Box of Marions Kitchen Thai Red Curry
400g chicken thighs cubed
1 - 1.5 cups of pumpkin in 2cm cubes (approx)
2 tbs vegetabel oil
Method
add 20 grams of vegetable oil to Thermomix.
Add contents of sachet #1 Red Curry Paste and cook for 3 minutes on 100 degrees on speed 1
Add the contents of sachet #2 Coconut Milk and 250g water. Cook for 4 minutes on 100 degrees on speed 1.
Add the contents of sachet 3 Dried herbs plus the fish sauce and cook for 1.5 minutes on 100 degrees on reverse speed 1.
NOTE: If you don't like your curries too hot don't add the dried chillies from the herb sachet and add half a cup of additional water.
Add the contents of sachet #4 Bamboo Shoots being sure to drain them first, 400g cubed chicken and the diced pumpkin.
Cook for 17-20 minutes on 100 degrees on reverse soft spoon.
Serve with a steamed rice.
Keep an eye out for Marion's Kitchen range at good food stores. Also available in the range is:

Great Thermomix adaptation, Fleur! I wish I could get Marion's products here in the UK! Here's a Thai green curry recipe for Thermomix for your green fans: http://www.whyisthereair.com/?p=1380
ReplyDeleteThank you. I'll be in London for a month at the end of the year. Bit far to take my Thermomix - don't know how I will survive without it. Are you on London? F
ReplyDeleteSorry I missed your London trip, Fleur! I'm less than an hour from London; we could have met up. I think we tweeted about it but never followed up. Oh well. Another life, another time. We still have our Thermomixes to link us up on the amazing world wide web!
