ADAPTING RECIPES FOR THE
MICROWAVE OVEN
If you would like to adapt your favourite recipes for
the microwave, you should take note of the
following: Shorten cooking times by a third to a
half. Follow the example of the recipes in this book.
Foods which have a high moisture content such as
meat, fish, poultry, vegetables, fruit, stews and
soups can be prepared in your microwave without
any difficulty.
ONION SOUP
Total cooking time: approx. 14 - 17 minutes
Utensils: bowl with lid (2 litre capacity)
4 soup bowls (200 ml)
Ingredients
1 tbsp butter or margarine
2 onions (100 g), sliced
800 ml meat stock
salt & pepper
2 slices of bread for toasting
4 tbsp grated cheese (40 g)
MUSHROOMS WITH ROSEMARY
Total cooking time: approx. 10-17 minutes
Utensils: bowl with lid (1 litre capacity)
Shallow round dish with lid
(approx. 22 cm diameter)
Ingredients
8 large mushrooms (approx. 225 g), whole
2 tbsp butter or margarine (20 g)
1 onion (50 g), finely chopped
50 g bacon, finely diced
black pepper, ground
fresh rosemary, bruised
125 ml dry white wine
125 ml cream
2 tbsp flour (20 g)
Foods which have little moisture, such as platters of
food, should have the surface moistened prior to
heating or cooking.
The amount of liquid to be added to raw foods,
which are to be braised, should be reduced to about
two thirds of the quantity in the originall recipe. If
necessary, add more liquid during cooking.
The amount of fat to be added can be reduced
considerably. A small amount of butter, margarine
or oil is sufficient to flavour food. For this reason
your microwave is excellent for preparing low-fat
foods as part of a diet.
1. Place the butter cut up into pieces in the bowl.
Add the sliced onion, the meat stock and the
seasoning. Cover and microwave.
9-11 min.
2. Toast the slices of bread, cut them into cubes and
divide them among the soup bowls. Pour the soup
over the toast cubes and sprinkle on the cheese.
3. Place the bowls on the turntable, use the top grill
and brown the cheese topping.
6-7 min.
1. Remove the stalks from the mushrooms and chop
the stalks into small pieces.
2. Spread the butter on the bottom of the dish. Add
the onions, the diced bacon and the mushroom
stalks. Season with pepper and rosemary, cover
and cook.
3-5 min. 900 W
Leave to cool.
3. Heat 100 ml of the wine and cream in the other
dish with its lid on.
1-3 min. 900 W
4. Mix the remaining wine with the flour, stir into the
hot liquid and cook with the lid on. Stir once
during cooking.
ca. 1 min.
5. Fill the mushrooms with the bacon mixture, place in
the sauce and cook on the high rack.
6-8 min.
Allow the mushrooms to stand for approximately 2
minutes once cooked.
