There are winter warmers like Nanna used to make the traditional way, stirring three pans with the oven on the go. Then, there are Thermomix ® winter warmers. All those soothing homestyle flavours you love. None of the stress and mess you don’t.
With a Thermomix ® and Guided Cooking from Cookidoo ® in your kitchen, you can even bring those slow-living cosy feels to busy winter weeknights. Toss a few simple ingredients into the pot, pour a wine and return to cuddle on the couch with a good book or binge-worthy TV.
See how Thermomix ® does hearty meals smarter with five of our favourite winter recipes.
One-pot Hainanese chicken
Sally from our Recipe Development team swears she could live on this recipe for the rest of her life! Soothing, silky chicken. Aromatic rice. A drizzle of chilli for those who want more heat. Hainanese chicken is a winner dinner across South East Asia and the world. Traditionally, it takes some work. But Thermomix® chops the prep time down to just 15 minutes and cooks it all in one pot (practically hands-free) in less than two hours. Yes, a whole chicken, rice, chilli sauce - the whole shebang fits into a Thermomix® with layered cooking. You can even super-size this winter warmer with the 45% roomier TM7 Varoma.
Meatballs in tomato sauce
Nothing brings warmth to a winter kitchen quite like this rustic Italian classic. A simmering open pot filling the air with rich aromas of garlic, tomato, herbs and little jewels of meaty goodness. It’s utterly satisfying, simple cooking. And the new Open Cooking mode brings that time-honoured tradition to the TM7. What does that mean? In the last 10 minutes of cooking time, you can lift the lid, reduce the sauce, taste your dish as it's cooking and season to your liking. Cook up a big batch of this extra-filling winter recipe and save any leftovers to go in sliders or subs, on pizza or spaghetti.
Sticky toffee puddings
The cooler days get us all craving the sweet nostalgia of delightfully soft-spongy steamed puddings smothered in a rich, buttery sauce. They’re the kind of dishes that instantly add another cosy layer to the warm hug of family gatherings. Pop ‘Sticky Toffee Puddings’ into the Search in Cookidoo ® and add it to ‘My Week’ to make it part of your winter warmer meal plan. Not only will you hit on a winner (it’s got a 4.8-star rating), Cookidoo ® will start feeding you more heavenly winter inspiration in the ‘For You’ tab on the mobile app.
Versatile soup
One big, nutritious, steaming bowl of budget-friendly goodness for soup season. Nothing goes to waste here. Just toss in whatever winter veggies are sitting in your fridge. Thermomix sautés to brown your base beautifully (garlic, onion, shallots or leek), with a little curry paste for extra warmth. Then it lets you add as many layers as you like – go with zucchini, carrot, pumpkin, sweet potato, broccoli, celeriac, parsnip or green peas. Ready in 45 minutes. Best enjoyed with a big hunk of buttery toast and your favourite chunky knits.
Slow-cooked lamb Madras
A set-and-forget pot of melt-in-your-mouth buttery madras. This low-effort, low-cost, highly hearty meal instantly warms you up with the bold heat of Southern India, and tempers the fire with the sweetness of coconut cream. Let Thermomix® do the chopping and sauteing – add the Blade Cover and leave Thermomix® to get on with dinner while you get on with what matters to you. Cooking for one, two or three? Scale it and make it your own. Or make the full recipe and pop the leftovers in your freezer. It keeps for up to a month. Even longer if you vacuum seal it.
Make winter warmers more flavourful and effortless.
