Tips

Other options for vegetables include asparagus, onion, capsicum. You can choose the vegetables to your tastes.

You could also use sun-dried tomatoes, olives and baby spinach. For these you would chop them but not cook them in the machine.

This recipe was modified from the RPA Allergy Unit Friendly Food cookbook. It’s a great source of recipes if you are trying to eliminate different food groups from your diet. Of course you can find more family friendly recipes in my cookbook, Kate’s Thermo Cookbook. It’s available on iPad, iPhone and Android via Amazon for Kindle.

Thanks for reading.
