    What to do with the liquid left in the Thermomix bowl after cooking

    Think of the liquid left in the Thermomix bowl after steaming the salmon as "stock", in fact you could add some homemade Stock Paste to it from the beginning and use it for a risotto or pasta after. It'll have a really lovely flavour.

    What to cook in the bowl while the salmon steams?

    I like to maximise my cooking time and all that water creating steam for the salmon is the perfect opportunity to cook something at the same time and save time and washing up, isn't it?

    One of the first times I cooked this I made it with noodles and it made dinner, then for lunch for LittleT and me the next day and a further lunch for me a couple of days later.

    I sometimes make it with rice and it makes enough for dinner for 2 adults, with plenty left for lunch the following day.

    I have also served it on one occasion with a salad of cherry tomatoes, feta cheese and mixed leaves (all drizzled with good Spanish extra virgin olive oil and sherry vinegar, of course).

    Of course, you could just add any vegetables that need using up and then blend it into a soup (my tip: remove a fair bit of the liquid before blending, this is because you can add liquid back in to make it thinner but you can't take it away after blending).

    Note: If you use wholegrain rice, try soaking it first for a few hours so that it doesn’t take forever to cook.

    My favourite part?

    In about half an hour you have a fantastic meal on the table without much fuss and much washing-up.

    I do love Thermie all-in-one meals using the Varoma.

    Excuse the appalling photos, they are from way before I started paying more attention to food photograhy.

    • Thermomix
    • Parchment paper

    Ingredients
      

    • 4 salmon fillets fresh

    • 5 cm piece of ginger peeled and divided in one 3 cm piece and one 2 cm piece
    • 1 clove garlic peeled
    • 2-3 spring onions the white part trimmed and the green part finely sliced
    • 80-100 g red pepper or green if you prefer green
    • A big handful of fresh coriander
    • 1 or 2 lemon or lime either goes well and it will depend on how much you like the citrus flavour
    • 10 g honey optional
    • 30 g soy sauce

    TO MAKE IN BOWL WHILE STEAMING SALMON IN VAROMA

    NOODLE SOUP

    • 800 g water
    • Pak choi optional
    • Rice noodles

    OR

    RICE

    • 1000 g water
    • Pak choi optional
    • 50-70 g of rice per person

    Instructions
     

    • Place chilli, the 3 cm piece of ginger, garlic and spring onion, approx 65 g of the pepper and coriander in the bowl and chop: 5 seconds, speed 7.
    • Lower down anything that may have climbed up the walls of the bowl and add the juice of half or one lemon or lime, honey and soy sauce and mix: 10 seconds, speed 3.
    • Wet a piece of baking paper, scrunch it up and lay it flat on the bottom of the varoma tray.
    • Place the salmon on top and pour most of the sauce over the top of the salmon fillets, make sure you leave a bit of the sauce in the bowl (do not wash!).
    • Place the pak choi or any other vegetables you want to use in the top tray of the Varoma, cover with the lid.
    • Place in the bowl: the 800 g water a bit of chopped pak choi, the rest of the pepper, the other chunk of ginger OR the 1000 g of water and the rice.
    • Put the Varoma (with the salmon and vegetables) in place: Varoma, speed 2, 25 minutes (this will really depend on the thickness of the steaks, the ones I buy tend to be quite thick so check them from the 12-15 minute mark or so). Check that the rice is fully cooked
    • If using noodles, add them in the last few minutes according to your packet’s instructions or wait until the salmon is cooked and use the stock then.
    • Serve with Spanish flair!

    Notes

    Note: If you use wholegrain rice, try soaking it first for a few hours so that it doesn’t take forever to cook.
