This is a take on Thermomix Fish & Mixed Vegetable Parcels. Whilst the parcels are great, they are so fiddly and time consuming, plus I think this has much more flavour and you can change it all around to suit your protein!! Win win in my books.
4White fish fillets - 120-200 g each (barramundi, pink ling, whiting)
2Chicken breast cut horizontally
200gmixed vegetables e.g. carrots, zucchini, celery stalks, turnip, cut into pieces
500gwater
400gpotatoes - peeled, cut into slices (3 mm)
Instructions
Add to mixing bowl ½ tsp of the salt, ¼ tsp of the pepper, grated lemon zest, lemon juice & Parsley10 SECONDS | SPEED 5 - then set aside in small bowlNo need to rinse bowl - don't we just love this!
40 g extra virgin olive oil, 1 tsp salt, ½ tsp ground black pepper, 2 tbsp grated lemon zest, 6 sprigs fresh flat-leaf parsley - leaves only, 50 g lemon juice - approx. 1 lemon
Place vegetable into bowl weighing approx. 200g - mind you ours always goes WAY over - we love veggies5 SECONDS | SPEED 5
200 g mixed vegetables e.g. carrots, zucchini, celery stalks, turnip, cut into pieces
FOR FISHPlace Fish fillets onto steaming tray or baking sheet (remember, we need the steam to get through so place a trivet or bamboo sticks underneath for steam) in the Varoma - I use TOP tray.Place the vegetables on top of fish and pour half the amount of lemon & parsley oil over the vegetables.

FOR CHICKENAdd chicken to bottom tray on baking sheet (remember, we need the steam to get through so place a trivet or bamboo sticks underneath for steam)In top tray add veggies and pour half the amount of lemon & parsley oil over the vegetables. Don't worry - it will run through and season the chicken*Why don't I put them together like the fish? Easy - we need to make sure the chicken is steamed through. Fish can be under - Chicken CANNOT!!
2 Chicken breast cut horizontally
Place water into mixing bowl, insert simmering basket and weigh potatoes into it. Place Varoma into position, secure Varoma lid and steam 25 MINUTES | VAROMA | SPEED 1The fish will be cooked - just double check your chicken - it always has been for us, but if there is a thick piece of the breast - always best to check.
500 g water, 400 g potatoes - peeled, cut into slices (3 mm)
Ready to serve.Drizzle with the reserved lemon-parsley oil. Season potatoes with salt and pepper and serve
Notes
If you don't like lemon, substitute it for Soy sauce
We use Season Me Good seasonings on the protein also - their Pixie Dust for the vegetables and Tuscanfor the fish/chicken (we are not affiliated with Season Me Good in any way - we just LOVE their seasonings)
