Notes
-
- NOTE: This recipe can only be made in the TM6 model of Thermomix as it uses the slow cook mode.
- Meat substitution - use beef mince or beef shin if brisket is unavailable.
- Vegetarian option - substitute brisket with mushrooms, lentils, or textured vegetable protein (TVP) for a plant-based version.
- Spice and heat adjustments - you can adjust the level of heat by adding more or less chilli powder, cayenne pepper, or smoked paprika to suit individual preferences.
- Beans and vegetables - try adding black beans or pinto beans for added texture and flavour. For a heartier dish, corn or courgette can be added.
- Meal ideas and leftovers - use some of the brisket chilli to make chilli nachos, chilli-stuffed peppers or as a filling for tacos or burritos. You can also serve it over baked potatoes or use it to top a chilli cheese dog.
- If you're able to get a coriander plant from the supermarket you'll be able to get some roots and the stalks, however, if it's only a packet of fresh coriander that you can get you'll only have the stalks which will be absolutely fine for the recipe.
- Clean and scrape down the roots of your coriander with a spoon to remove the tougher, more fibrous bits on the outside of the roots, before adding to the mixing bowl.
- You can grate cheddar cheese in your Thermomix®. Before step 1, place 150g cheese (cut into 2 to 3cm pieces) into the mixing bowl and grate 8 seconds/speed 7.
- If the meat is not cooked to your liking the kidney beans, place a small bowl onto the mixing bowl lid, weigh 50g water into it and add 1 tbsp cornflour. Stir to combine, then add to the mixing bowl and cook 5 minutes/90C/reverse/speed 0.5, until thickened.
