How much does it cost me to prepare nut wedges with the Thermomix?
The Thermomix nut wedges and their delicate taste depend on the quality of the nuts used. A nut tastes best when it was recently harvested and you only remove it from its shell shortly before baking. You can find chopped almonds or whole almonds, a portion of hazelnuts and the matching chocolate in a sufficiently high quality in a well-stocked supermarket. Expect it to cost around five euros.
