Menu: Tuna on Tomato Sauce with Rice; Peaches and Cream Dessert
This complete menu pairs steamed fresh tuna on a silky tomato sauce with fluffy jasmine rice, followed by a peaches and cream dessert with digestive biscuit crumble. The TM7 steams the fish gently in the Varoma while the rice cooks below, and whips the cream to soft peaks for the dessert. An ideal all-in-one dinner solution.
About this recipe
Steamed tuna with tomato sauce and rice, followed by peaches and cream, is a complete Thermomix TM7 menu recipe that delivers two courses from a single appliance. This is the kind of quick weeknight dinner that also feels special: the Varoma gently steams fresh tuna and mango-scented fruit while jasmine rice cooks underneath, capturing every bit of steam and flavour. The tomato sauce is blended silky smooth in the mixing bowl, coating the flakes of tender fish without overwhelming them. For the dessert, tinned peaches and fresh mango are chopped in seconds, layered with crushed digestive biscuits soaked in peach juice, and topped with whipping cream whisked to soft peaks with a hint of vanilla quark. If you are searching for an all-in-one kitchen machine menu that covers savoury and sweet in one session, this recipe shows exactly why the TM7 earns its worktop space.
Preparation tips
- Choose tuna steaks of even thickness so they steam uniformly in the Varoma alongside the mango; uneven pieces release moisture differently and can turn some portions dry while others stay translucent.
- Chill the whipping cream, the butterfly whisk and the mixing bowl before whisking, as cold cream with a stabiliser holds soft peaks far longer over the peach and biscuit layers.
- Assemble the dessert glasses only shortly before serving so the digestive biscuits keep their crunch; if preparing ahead, keep the peach juice-soaked crumbs separate until plating.
Recipe variations
- Lactose-free version: replace the whipping cream and vanilla quark with chilled lactose-free whipping cream and a coconut-based vanilla yoghurt, and swap the digestives for gluten-free oat biscuits to suit intolerant guests.
- Festive winter version: substitute the fresh mango and tinned peaches for poached pears in spiced syrup, layering them with ginger biscuits and a dash of amaretto in the juice for a seasonal dinner-party finish.
