About this recipe
Chicken stock paste Thermomix TM7 style is the ultimate homemade flavour booster for anyone searching for clean-label recipes on their all-in-one kitchen machine. This allergen-friendly version blends boneless chicken, mixed vegetables, fresh herbs, coriander seeds, bay leaf and a squeeze of lemon juice with coarse sea salt into a concentrated paste that keeps for weeks in the fridge. Instead of relying on shop-bought stock cubes packed with additives, gluten or lactose, you decide exactly what goes into the jar, making it a safe choice for coeliacs, lactose-intolerant family members and anyone with food sensitivities. The TM7 does the heavy lifting: it minces the chicken to an even consistency, grinds the coriander seeds to release their warm, citrusy aroma, and mixes everything into a silky paste without you lifting a knife. A spoonful instantly deepens the flavour of weeknight soups, risottos, sauces and gravies, turning a simple quick weeknight dinner into something remarkably aromatic. It also makes a thoughtful homemade gift for fellow cooking enthusiasts.
Preparation tips
- Use boneless, skinless chicken thigh rather than breast for a richer, more gelatinous paste; the slightly higher fat content of thigh meat gives the stock paste a deeper savoury depth that dissolves beautifully in hot liquids.
- Sterilise your storage jars thoroughly before filling them with the stock paste, and always scoop with a clean, dry spoon afterwards; the coarse sea salt acts as the natural preservative, so avoid introducing moisture to keep it fresh longer.
- Start with half the sea salt if you prefer a milder seasoning, and taste a tiny amount diluted in hot water before adding more; fresh herbs like parsley and thyme can be swapped for whatever is left in your fridge or garden.
Recipe variations
- Vegetarian version: replace the chicken with an equal weight of mixed mushrooms such as shiitake and chestnut mushrooms; the umami-rich mushrooms combined with the vegetables, herbs and salt create a deeply savoury plant-based stock paste.
- Festive winter variant: add a small piece of fresh ginger, a strip of orange zest and an extra clove alongside the bay leaf for a warming, seasonal paste that lifts Christmas soups, turkey gravy and mulled-scented sauces.
