Thank you for this recipe. What I do with anything small that may fall out of the basket is I line the Thermomix basket with a basket coffee filter (don't know if these are available in Australia; I live in Canada). It fits perfectly and these filters are quite cheap and work really well to keep anything small from falling out of the basket.
