Chorizo Dip (Thermomix)
This chorizo dip is absolutely amazing...it's a great dip to enjoy with crusty bread, bread sticks and crisps.
Ingredients
If you don't have the Cookidoo app for your Thermomix follow the recipe below (please note: I've changed the measurements to grams instead of ounces):
- 56g green (spring) onions green top part only
- 56g green (spring) onions white part only
- 140g chorizo ground
- 125g fresh Roma tomatoes quartered (approx. 1 large tomato - I used a vine tomato)
- 2 pinches ground cumin
- 225g cheddar cheese cubed
- 100g cream cheese I used low fat cream cheese to reduce the calories!
- 100ml heavy whipping cream I used Elmlea double cream to reduce the calories!
- 0.25 tsp garlic powder
Instructions
- Place the green onion tops into the mixing bowl and chop 3 seconds/speed 7. Transfer into a bowl and set aside.
- Place the white onion parts, chorizo, tomato, and ground cumin into the mixing bowl and chop 5 seconds/speed 5. Scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl with the spatula and without the measuring cup cook 10 minutes/Varoma/speed 1. Transfer into a separate bowl and set aside.
- Without washing the mixing bowl, place the cheddar cheese cubes into the mixing bowl and grate 5 seconds/speed 6.
- Add the cream cheese, whipping (or double) cream, and garlic powder, and cook for 6 minutes 30 seconds/195°F/speed 1. Transfer into a serving bowl.
- Serve the cooked chorizo mixture in the centre of the serving bowl, surrounded by the cheese dip and sprinkle with the reserved chopped green onion tops.
