Recipe's preparation

Add all ingredients except pasta to the mixing bowl and mix for 4 seconds, speed 3.

Place Greek salad ingredients into a large bowl and without washing the Thermomix® bowl, add 1 litre of tap water to the bowl.

Place simmer basket into the bowl over the water, and then weigh 100g pasta of your choice into the simmer basket.

Cook pasta 12 minutes, 100c, Speed 4 (note: adjust the time to suit taking into consideration time on the packet directions, plus an extra few minutes for the bowl water to heat).

Some people like to run the pasta under cool water to stop the pasta cooking further under its own heat and to speed up the pasta cooling process for your lunch! But this may be a big no-no for others! If this is the case for you, allow the pasta to cool enough for the steam to stop before stirring through with the Greek salad ingredients to serve.

Tip

Makes enough for 2 servings, so cook once, and have a spare serving for lunch the next day!

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:

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!
