Thermomix recipe: Colorful Vegetable Medley with Tomato Sauce. Ready in 40 minutes. Serves 4. Step-by-step Thermomix instructions on Chef Amai.
Ingredients
- 1-2 cloves garlic (5-10 g)
- 1 small leek (100 g), white and light green parts, roughly chopped
- 20 g olive oil
- 1 yellow bell pepper (approx. 200 g), deseeded and diced into 1.5 cm cubes
- 1 small eggplant (approx. 250 g), diced into 1.5 cm cubes
- 1-2 zucchini (approx. 300 g total, mixed green/yellow), diced into 1.5 cm cubes
- 400 g canned diced tomatoes (or 4-5 fresh ripe tomatoes, roughly chopped)
- 1 tsp dried oregano or mixed Italian herbs
- 1/2 tsp salt, or to taste
- 1/4 tsp black pepper, or to taste
- 1/2 tsp sugar (optional, for balancing acidity)
- 50-100 ml vegetable stock or water (if needed)
Instructions
- Add garlic cloves and chopped leek to the mixing bowl. Chop 3 sec / Speed 5. Scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl.
- Add olive oil to the mixing bowl. Sauté 5 min / 120°C / Speed 1. For chunky vegetables, use Reverse mode if preferred.
- Add the diced yellow bell pepper, eggplant, zucchini, canned diced tomatoes, dried oregano, salt, pepper, and sugar (if using) to the mixing bowl. If the mixture seems too dry, add 50 ml of vegetable stock or water.
- Place the simmering basket on top of the mixing bowl lid instead of the measuring cup to allow steam to escape and prevent splattering. Cook 18 min / 98°C / Speed 2 / Reverse.
- Pause the Thermomix. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the mixing bowl with the spatula. Check the thickness and consistency of the sauce; add remaining 50 ml stock/water if a thinner sauce is desired. Continue cooking 5 min / 98°C / Speed 2 / Reverse.
- To settle the sauce and prevent sticking, cook for a final 2 min / 90°C / Speed 1 / Reverse.
- Serve the colorful vegetable medley warm as a side dish, over pasta, rice, or with crusty bread. Adjust seasoning to taste before serving.
