Thermomix Pasta Salad

Thermomix Pasta Salad With Homemade Mayonnaise

I remember eating this pasta salad on the weekends after mum did her grocery shopping. I would make a chicken sandwich and load the pasta salad inside. I love that I can recreate these childhood dishes with the use of my Thermomix to be homemade, without preservatives and to suite my families dietary requirements. Be sure to make the creamy mayonnaise to go with it as thats where it gets the creamy tangy flavour from. It will definitely have you going back for more.

How to cook Quinoa or Amaranth in a Thermomix

by Leave a Comment

Thermomix Quinoa

Thermomix Quinoa

As much as I love eating this nutty flavoured little grain, I never really know what the correct pronunciation is. Is it keen-wah? Or is it quin-noah? Regardless, I like to use quinoa as the base for a salad or as a side for dinner, substitute for rice or add to a poke bowl. Quinoa is gluten free and a great alternative to rice.

Quinoa can be bought in different colours. White the most common but you you can also get red and black grains. You can read all about the differences in their flavour profile here. The main difference to take note of is cooking time. White is the fastest to cook. I add 5 minutes for red quinoa and 10 extra minutes for black.

The full quinoa recipe is featured in the Salad Collection cookbook. It is a great grain to use in tabouli, a salad bowl or our quinoa and kale salad.

Thermomix Quinoa

INGREDIENTS

  • 1000g water
  • 300g white quinoa

STEPS

  1. Add water (1000g) to the bowl and set the small simmering basket into position.
