Recipe's preparation

    Method
  1. 1.  Place diced chicken into Varoma Dish and sprinkle with Spice Mix, ensuring a few holes are left uncovered (you can use whatever spice you like or even marinated chicken).

     

    2.  Measure 500g of water into the bowl, put lid on. Place Varoma in position with lid on. (Leave Varoma Tray out)

     

    3.  Cook 20 minutes/Varoma/Speed 2. Stir & break up chicken using spatula at halfway point to ensure even cooking.

     

    4.  Meanwhile prepare Greens as described and place into Varoma Tray, leaving a few holes uncovered. Please Tray into Varoma at 8-10 minutes left to cook depending on your tastes. (8mins for still crunchy greens)

     

    5.  When time is up remove Varoma Tray and set aside. Check Chicken is cooked, extend time if required, and set aside.

     

    6.  Empty water from bowl, clean and dry mixing bowl.

     

    7.  Place Coriander Seeds into Bowl, MC on. 3 mins/120deg/speed 1.

     

    8.  Mill 30sec/speed 10, MC on. You want a chunky texture not milled to a fine powder.

     

    9.  Add butter to coriander seeds and mix 30sec/speed 3, MC on or unitl butter has melted.

  2. Assembly
  3. Place Baby Spinach leaves into a large serving bowl, add cooked greens and chicken. Pour over Butter mixture and toss together until well combined.

Tip

This can be VEGETARIAN by omiting the Chicken steps and Starting at Step 4. Cooking the Greens 10-12 mins/Varoma/Speed 2. Greens can be placed into Varoma Dish instead of Tray.

A tasty Dish for a light lunch or dinner or makes a great side salad without the Chicken.

    TM 5
    If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
    For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.
    Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!

    Tasty and hearty salad that makes a big meal. Good warm as a winter salad and should be nice cold as a summer salad too! We had it with Brocollini instead of Asparagus as that was in season tmrc_emoticons.)
