I'm cooking this todayRecipe's preparation
- Put 1 litre of water in thermomix bowl, and place basket into bowl. Weigh in 200g pearl barley. Cook for 40 minutes, Varoma, speed 2. Meanwhile, cut cauliflower into small florets and place in Varoma tray. Put Varoma in place when pearl barley has 20 minutes left to cook.
Wash barley in cold water when cooked and drain. Allow to cool. Allow cauliflower to cool also.
Combine in a large bowl with pomegranate arils, chopped dried cranberries, toasted and chopped walnuts, chopped pistachios, chopped mint and chopped parsley. I chop the herbs and nuts by hand.
In a jar combine the olive oil, white balsamic binegar, pomegranate molasses (see notes) and salt and pepper. Shake jar and pour over salad then stir gently to combine.
Tip
You can buy Pomegranate Molasses from specialty food stores or make some in your Thermomix by combining 1 litre of pomegranate juice, 110g white sugar and 100g lemon juice in the bowl of your Thermie, cook for 60 minutes, Varoma temp, speed 2, mc off. You will get around 300ml of syrup that will keep for a couple of weeks in the fridge.
Pomegranate season in Australia is November to March.

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. -

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!
