This dish is prepared with the help of a kitchen robot. This recipe is adapted from one I found in Mycook recipe book. I also include times and temperatures for the thermomix.

4 fish fillets

500g red bell pepper, roughly chopped

100g white wine

50g olive oil

1 tsp parsley

1 tsp coriander

1 tsp chive

2 garlic cloves

Salt to taste

Heat olive oil 1min/120º/speed 1 (TM: 1min/100º/speed 1). Cook garlic 2min/120º/speed 1 (TM: 1min/100º/speed 1). Add bell pepper, herbs and salt. Place fish in tray and set 10min/120º/speed 1 (TM: 10min/varoma/speed 1). Add wine and set 5min/120º/speed 1 (TM: 5min/varoma/speed 1). Give the sauce a silky finish by pressing turbo 6x5sec (TM: 30sec/speed 5-7-9) using the basket over the lid to avoid splashes.

Catalan Crème

Para versão Portuguesa clique aqui: Creme Catalão

This recipe was taken from the “Mycook” recipe book. I’m also including the times and temperatures for the thermomix. This pudding, similar to the créme brulèe, is of Spanish origin, hence the name catalão which means habitant or born in the region of Catalonia, Spain. It is their tradition to make this pudding on Saint Joseph’s day, March 19th and serve it for dessert.

1 litre milk

8 egg yolks

200g sugar

40g cornstarch

Peel of 1 lemon and 1 orange

1 cinnamon stick

Place the mixing paddle/butterfly in the jar/mixing bowl and add all the ingredients beginning with the milk. Cook for: Mycook 13min/100º/speed 3; Thermomix 13min/90º/speed 2/reverse. When finished program 1min/speed 2 in order to cool it down a bit and avoid lumps. 

Using the basket, strain the pudding in order to remove the peels and cinammon stick.
