Easy Layered Meal in the Thermomix!

Ok, this is always tricky at first when I am experimenting, but I have succeeded! The hard part for me is not mixing any meat, or meat juice for that matter, into my vegetarian part of the meal. Same goes for dairy if that's something I'm avoiding. Here is a run down of what I made for dinner last night...

Pizza Bianca
Sweet Potato and Cauliflower Soup
Rosemary and Thyme Steamed Chicken with Sauce OR Lentils with Sauce
Cauliflower, Green Beans, Tagliatelle Carrot

Sound decadent?! Well, it was, and it was easy. I've based the meal around one of the Thermomix demo's so way too much food for 2, but I am working on the portion stuff after I sort out the taste factor!

Ingredients & Method:

Pizza Bianca
Preheat oven to 220ยบ.

3 sprigs rosemary leaves
2 cloves garlic, peeled

Add to TM bowl. Chop 4 seconds, speed 7. Remove and set aside.

220g lukewarm water
1tsp sugar
2tsp yeast

Add to TM bowl. Mix 20 seconds, speed 2.

400g baker's flour
30g olive oil
1tsp salt

Add to TM bowl. Knead, 2 minutes.

Place dough on TM mat and divide in 1/2. You can freeze or refrigerate the other half. Roll 1/2 into a ball and wrap in mat and place in a warm place for 15 minutes.

Soup & Chicken

1 garlic clove
1 onion, halved

Add to TM bowl. Chop 3 seconds, speed 7.

20g olive oil

Add to TM bowl. Saute 2 minutes, Varoma, speed 1.

500g water
1 tbsp stock
200g sweet potato, peeled and cubed
300g cauliflower, chopped
**These 2 veggies should fill up you TM basket
2 chicken breasts, prepared how you wish (we kept it as a whole breast)
Salt
Pepper
Thyme

Add water and stock to TM bowl.
Add veggies to TM basket and insert into TM bowl.
Add chicken to Varoma tray (top), lined with dampened baking paper, so no leaks occur, place ontop of TM bowl. Cook 12 minutes, Varoma, speed 1.

**DURING THIS TIME get your dough out on the TM mat and roll out into a circle, top with reserved rosemary and garlic olive oil and salt. Bake on a pizza tray or stone for 20 minutes.**

Vegetables of your choice (and how much you need). I used:
1 carrot, tagliatelle
Leftover cauliflower (what didn't fit in my TM basket)
Handful of frozen green beans
1/2 tin lentils, in a ramekin

Add to Varoma dish. Continue cooking everything 10 minutes, Varoma, speed 1.

Remove Varoma and place veggies and chicken into Thermoserver to stay warm. Add TM basket veggies to TM bowl. Blend 1 minute, speed 9 (gradual). Pour into Thermoserver but leave enough to cover the blades for the sauce.

1 tbsp greek yogurt
2 tsp wholegrain mustard

Add to TM bowl. Mix 10 seconds, speed 3.

Serve up!
