Best failsafe bolognese in the ENTIRE WORLD!!!

Omg this is the best thing I have ever eaten (since I've been a failsafer at least haha)
This recipe was adapted from Sandra at Cooking for Oscar http://www.cookingforoscar.com/recipe/no-tomato-sauce/ with some more inspiration from Frilly Pants over at Real Meals http://realfailsafemeals.blogspot.com.au/2012/06/spaghetti-bolognese.html

The sauce will be made with my version of the low salicylate no-tomato sauce for ease of reference I have put the recipe for the sauce below, make sure you have ingredients for both sections!

TIP: You don't need a Thermomix to make this, you will just need to chop all ingredients by hand and use some sort of food processor for the sauce, Thermomix just makes it a boatload easier.

Ingredients:
Mince either organic fresh lamb or beef or a mixture (you can also make mince in your TMX)
Two stalks celery
Two leeks
Bunch of shallots
3 garlic cloves
Failsafe oil (I recommend buying organic cold pressed as mainstream oils are often processed in a way which makes them toxic), sunflower oil will do. Today I have used olive oil as I am trying to increase my sals limit.

Method:
Peel garlic cloves, roughly chop vegetables (no need to be small) and pop in your TMX, speed 6 for approx 5 seconds, check to see if they are finely chopped.
Put half of them in the saucepan and leave half in the bowl for the sauce.
Put saucepan on LOWEST heat with lid on and a DECENT amount of oil. Slowly simmer.
After about 10 minutes pop the mince in a chop it all up with your TMX spatula or some other random kitchen implement. Turn the heat up a little to seal and then pop it back on low with the lid on to keep simmering.
Whilst this is simmering make sauce (reminder for sauce recipe below)
Ingredients:
1 Can red kidney beans
a few saffron threads soaked in 1/2 cup water (saffron threads optional, must use water)
1 pear- peeled and cut in half
1/2 sweet potato cut into large chunks (*WARNING mod sals, can be omitted)
2 tablespoons of butter (optional)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon citric acid
1 packet of pasta
Put all ingredients except water and pasta in the Thermomix (with half of the leeks, shallots and garlic you have already chopped up) and pulverise on speed 8 for 8 seconds
Add water with soaked saffron threads
With the MC cup in place cook for 25 minutes on speed 3 at 100 degrees
Put some water onto boil while the sauce is cooking and make the pasta, strain, mix through mince, shallots, leeks, and sauce. Sprinkle a little organic unflavoured cheese over the top if you can tolerate it. BEST FAILSAFE BOLOGNESE IN THE WORLD!!

My Version of Sandra's Low Salicylate- No Tomato Sauce

Since undertaking a low salicylate diet I have craved bolognese and pasta NON-STOP, I have actually been known to cry because I just want to eat some bolognese, HAHA! Slightly ridiculous for a grown woman but what can I say? It's tough not being able to eat the food you truly love and have grown up with. I found this recipe on Frilly Pants Real Failsafe Meals http://realfailsafemeals.blogspot.com.au/ and slightly adapted it. It does contain a small amount of sweet potato which is moderate in sals but this is optional. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did <3

Also don't worry if you don't have a Thermomix, put the ingredients in a food processor and then cook on the stove, hopefully this will work well, I have only tried it in Thermomix

Ingredients:
1 Can red kidney beans
2 leeks- cut in large chunks
2-3 cloves garlic- peel them and leave whole
a few saffron threads soaked in 1/2 cup water (saffron threads optional, must use water)
1 pear- peeled and cut in half
1/2 sweet potato cut into large chunks (*WARNING mod sals, can be omitted)
2 tablespoons of butter (optional)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon citric acid
1 packet of pasta (I used Gluten/Wheat free Organic Mung Bean Futtucini- ingredients certified organic green mung beans, water) I found it at Mrs Flannery's.
Put all ingredients except water and pasta in the Thermomix and pulverise on speed 8 for 8 seconds
Add water with soaked saffron threads
With the MC cup in place cook for 25 minutes on speed 3 at 100 degrees
While cooking put some water onto boil and make your pasta, strain, mix sauce in, sprinkle a little cheese that you tolerate on top if you wish.
I found this delicious and has totally fixed my epic cravings for bolognese haha!!
Enjoy :)

The Game Changing Machine for the Allergy Free, Whole Foods Cook

The most exciting thing happened, I walked into my class at college and this woman had a little station set up with all of these dips, homemade breads and homemade yoghurt. She was there to demonstrate the amazing Thermomix. The Thermomix is a German machine known as the world's smallest, smartest kitchen. It is used on Masterchef and has so many uses! It chops, beats, emulsifies, juices, mills flour, churns butter, kneads dough, cooks, stirs, steams, weighs and more. You can make salads, peanut butter, cake mixes, sorbets, juices and drinks, pizza, pasta and bread dough, risottos, sauces and gravies, custard, soups, jams and spreads and loads more in a matter of seconds to minutes.
I knew this was going to be an absolute game changer for someone with terrible allergies, intolerances and food restrictions because anything can be made from scratch so quickly and you know exactly what is going into everything that is made, it cuts down on SO much time spent in the kitchen, it is literally mind blowing. My excitement was barely containable. She whipped up a homemade fruit sorbet in seconds, churned butter in less than a minute from fresh, organic cream, showed us how to make our own muesli, it was all so quick and easy and wonderful.
I decided to take the plunge and become a consultant, I am so excited to show this wonderful machine to others, I really believe it can change the lives of those with food restrictions, it will be so easy to enjoy good, homemade food without being a slave to the kitchen! Very exciting, contact me for a free home demonstration of the machine in Brisbane on jessrems@gmail.com. You will be just as amazed as I was :)
