11 tips and tricks about the thermomix recipe

Choice of fish : Use a mix of white fish, such as cod, sole, or monkfish, for more flavor and variety.
Homemade fish stock : Prepare a homemade fish stock using the heads and bones of the fish for a more intense flavor.
Gentle cooking : Use the gentle cooking function of the Thermomix to cook the fish at a low temperature, which will make them tender and flavorful.
Fresh vegetables : Add fresh vegetables like carrots, leeks, and mushrooms for more flavor and texture.
Creamy sauce : Prepare a creamy sauce using fresh cream, butter, and flour to bind the blanquette.
Lemon : Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to the sauce to brighten the flavors.
Seasoning : Season the blanquette with salt, white pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg for a balanced flavor.
Gentle incorporation : Carefully incorporate the fish pieces into the sauce to avoid breaking them.
Aromatic herbs : Add fresh herbs like parsley or tarragon at the end of cooking for a fresh aroma.
Accompaniments : Serve the fish blanquette with steamed potatoes, rice, or green vegetables for a complete meal.
