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
Utensils: Bowl with lid (2 l capacity)
4 soup bowls (200 ml)
Ingredients
10 g butter or margarine
100 g onions, sliced
800 ml meat stock
salt, pepper
2 slices bread
40 g grated cheese
Aubergines stuffed with minced meat
Utensils: Bowl with lid (1 l capacity)
Shallow flan dish
(approx. 30 cm long)
Ingredients
250 g aubergines
200 g tomatoes
1 tbsp olive oil to grease the dish
100 g onions, chopped
4 mild green chillies, seeds removed
200 g minced beef
2 garlic cloves, crushed
2 tbsp parsley, chopped
salt, pepper
paprika
60 g Feta cheese, cubed
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 original 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. Grease the bowl, add the sliced onion, meat stock and the
seasoning. Cover and cook.
9-11 min. 900 W
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, and grill.
6-7 min.
1. Cut the aubergines in half lengthways. Scoop out the flesh
with a teaspoon to leave a shell about 1 cm thick. Dice the
scooped-out flesh.
2. Remove the skin from the tomatoes and chop.
3. Grease the bottom of the bowl with the olive oil. Add the
onions, cover and cook.
2 min. 900 W
4. Cut the chillies into rings. Retain a third for the garnish.
Mix the minced meat with the diced aubergines, onions,
tomatoes, chilli rings, garlic and parsley. Season to taste.
5. Dry the aubergine halves. Fill with half of the mince
mixture, spread the feta cheese on top, and then add the
rest of the filling.
6. Arrange the aubergine halves in the greased oven proof
dish, place the dish on the low rack and cook.
11-13 min. 630 W
Garnish the aubergine halves with the chilli rings and
continue cooking.
4-7 min. 630 W
After cooking, stand for approx. 2 min.
