    4. Place Varoma into position and cook 18 minutes/Varoma/speed 3.

    5. After 18 mins of cooking, remove eggs (if using) with tongs and place into cold water to stop further cooking.  Add green beans to Varoma and cook for a further  6 minutes/Varoma/speed 3. When eggs are cool, peel and chop them. Set aside.

    6. Rinse rice immediately under cold water to stop further cooking, and then clean lid and simmering basket as described below.

    7. Place rice into large serving bowl and add reserved chopped parsley and mint, chickpeas, diced onion, tomatoes, chopped egg (if using), nuts and seeds, currants. Sprinkle coriander, cumin and salt over everything and toss gently to combine.

Tip

CLEANING: Tumeric will stain the lid, seal and simmering basket. To minimise the staining, immediately cooking is finished and food removed, cover the stain liberally with Jif Creme Cleaner (no other brands works, so only use Jif). Rub the Jif with your fingers all over the stain. Jif may turn pink. Leave for a few minutes then rinse with water. The stain will be less but still there. It will gradually disappear over the next week or so with normal washing and use. You can also put the stained pieces in full sun, which will help fade the stain as well. The turmeric stain will not flavour the next thing you make in the Thermomix.

    I made this salad tonight and it was amazing tmrc_emoticons.) I love the flavours and how filling and nutrituious it was  - I steamed some lamb shanks to go with it but a chicken breast steak or anything you fnacy will go really well with this dish. Thank you for sharing tmrc_emoticons.)
