Thermomix recipe: Fresh Corn and Tomato Salad with Mint Herb Oil

Mint

Flakes

Grams Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO)

Grams black or red rice

water

2-3 corn on the cob, peeled

3-4 large bright red tomatoes, diced

Grams feta, crumbled

Black Pepper freshly cracked

Place mint and salt into the Thermomix bowl and chop *3 sec/speed 6.*

Add EVOO and cook *4 min/70°C/speed 1.*  Cool slightly and blend *1 min/speed 8*. Scrape down sides of bowl and lid and repeat. Remove from bowl and set aside. YOu may wish to strain out the solids, but I didn&#039;t.

Fill bowl to the 1L mark and place the rice into the simmering basket and the basket into the bowl.

Prepare the corn and place into the Varoma, set Varoma aside.

Steam the rice *15 min/100°C/speed 3.* Place the Varoma with the corn on top of the bowl and steam a further *15 min/100°C/speed 4*.

Remove both the corn and the rice and cool. Cut the corn off the cob and place into a large mixing bowl with the rice. Add the tomatoes and feta and toss gently. Drizzle generously with the Mint Herb Oil and add black pepper. Serve on the day it is made.

A gorgeous, subtly sweet side dish with forbidden rice, roasted butternut squash, apples, and fresh mint.

Jeweled Black Rice Salad

black rice ((I recommend organic “Forbidden Rice”))

lbs butternut squash ((about 4 cups))

olive oil (divided)

tbsp date syrup (or maple syrup)

cinnamon

salt (divided,

cayenne

lemon juice (divided)

green apples

tbsp honey ((substitute date syrup or agave to make vegan))

pecans

mint

pomegranate seeds ((arils))

Preheat oven to 425 degrees Boil 1 3/4 cups water on stovetop. Add the black rice and 1/4 tsp salt, bring back to a boil. Cover with a lid and reduce heat to low. Cook the rice for about 30 minutes.While rice is cooking, in a mixing bowl combine butternut squash, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tbsp date syrup (or maple syrup), 1/4 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp kosher salt, and a small pinch of cayenne. Stir to coat all of the butternut squash pieces evenly.

Spread squash out on a parchment-lined baking sheet, place in the oven, and roast for 10 minutes. Stir the squash, moving the pieces from the outside in and the pieces from the inside out. Roast another 5-15 more minutes, checking every 5 minutes, until the largest pieces are tender and browned on the edges. Remove from oven and allow to cool to room temperature.

When rice is done cooking, remove from heat and let stand covered for a few minutes. Uncover, fluff with a fork, and allow to cool to room temperature. If you want to cool it more quickly, transfer it to a cold mixing bowl and continue fluffing with a fork to air it out.

In a small mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of water with 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice. Slice the green apples in half, cut out the cores with a melon baller, and grate the apple halves into the lemon water. Discard any peel that is left behind after grating. Let the grated apple stand for 3 minutes in the lemon water, then drain.

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 tbsp fresh lemon juice, 1 1/2 tbsp honey, and 1/4 tsp salt. Whisk vigorously while drizzling in 1/4 cup olive oil to create a dressing.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice, cooked butternut squash, grated apples, 3/4 cup chopped pecans, 1/2 cup fresh roughly chopped mint, and 1/3 cup pomegranate seeds (arils) - if you&#x27;re making ahead, save the mint to stir in just before serving. Pour dressing over the ingredients and toss gently with a large spoon until the dressing is well incorporated. Add additional lemon juice or salt to taste.

Serve at room temperature or chilled. I prefer room temperature, the flavors seem to shine best that way. Salad tastes best served within 24 hours, but will last up to 3 days in the refrigerator. I do not recommend freezing this dish.

Paper-thin veggies, a shower of herbs, a pile of fried crispy red curry rice, and a limey garlicky vinaigrette all over top. This crispy rice salad is all I want to eat right now!

Crispy Rice Salad with Cucumbers and Herbs

garlic

fish sauce

avocado oil, or another neutral oil

lime juice (3-4 small limes)

brown sugar

chili crisp (more for spicier)

jasmine rice (note 2)

avocado oil

red curry paste

cornstarch (optional)

English cucumber, thinly sliced (about 1 cup)

shallot, thinly sliced or minced (about 1/4 cup)

cilantro, roughly chopped (about 1/2 cup)

mint, roughly chopped or torn (about 1/4 cup)

peanuts

chili crisp

Dressing

Blitz everything up in a blender or food processor to make this SUPER yummy, punchy sauce.

Crispy Rice

Toss the rice in a bowl with the oil and curry paste. If it&#8217;s not sticking together when you squeeze it, add the cornstarch and get your hands wet to mix it again (this happens if the rice is pre-cooked or several days old). Squeeze it into loose, squishy chunks and transfer to the air fryer in a single layer. Air fry at 400 for 7-9 minutes, until golden and crisped. (See Note 3 for alternative methods &#8211; I find the air fryer to be fastest and most convenient!)

You're Done! Yum! 

Break the crispy rice apart into little golden, delightful chunks. Toss with about half of the dressing and however many veggies you want. Garnish it with some peanuts and chili crisp if you want. I mean, honestly. Wow. This is so good.

This was one of the most delicious things I’ve made in a long time! I love outside of the box salads that aren’t lettuce based. I made a couple slight changes to use what I had - sriracha instead of chili crisp, added some fresh sprouts because I love them. Wonderful!

This was insanely delicious. Full of flavor, texture, color. The crunchy cool cucumbers complement the red curry spice perfectly. Hubs and I LOVE rice already, so had to try this dish and it was a hit!

This Crispy Rice Salad is delicious and will be made again and again! It's easy, it's do-ahead-able and so tasty!!
I find so many times that Pinch of Yum has just what I need to make for dinner, thanks from my family and me!

I’m vegan and replaced the fish sauce with coconut aminos. I thought soy sauce would be too salty. The coconut aminos worked perfectly. The salad was amazing. I can’t wait to have it again for lunch today! Thanks for another delicious recipe.

Whoa. This is a stellar, hearty salad that I’m now putting in my rotation. I made my bowl with brown rice and it didn’t “clump” as well I’m sure jasmine rice would have but it was still delicious and crispy. I had a fennel bulb which I sliced thin and roasted in gochujang butter and added it to the salad along with crispy baby lettuce. The dressing is absolutely bananas. Fish sauce in abundance can put me off so I made mine with just one Tbs. It was perfect for me. Thanks for a creative and delicious salad!

I made this recipe with brown rice and added sliced radishes and pan-seared tofu. Delicious!

This is so much more than a boring rice salad; using different grains and textures and adding different flavours you can make a filling hearty meal.

Crispy Rice Salad with edamame, mango, and sesame-toasted crispy rice with Chili Crisp Tahini. This texture-loaded salad is vegan, gluten free, and super satisfying.

Crispy Rice Salad with Chili Crisp Tahini

Tbsp. toasted sesame oil

Tbsp. chili crisp/crunch ((I use Trader Joe's

Tbsp. lower-sodium tamari or soy sauce

cabbage

English cucumber

edamame

mango,

roasted, salted cashews, roughly chopped

Tbsp. tahini, well-stirred

Tbsp. rice vinegar

lower-sodium tamari or soy sauce

sugar

Preheat oven to 400°F and a line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.Mix rice with toasted sesame oil, tamari (or soy sauce), and chili crisp (I use gloved hands to thoroughly massage the seasonings into the grains).Spread rice in a thin layer on prepared baking sheet and roast for 40 minutes, tossing every 10 to 15 minutes, until crispy. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.

Meanwhile, prepare Chili Crisp Tahini by combining all dressing ingredients in a glass jar or bowl; mix well to combine. Whisk in 1 Tbsp. of water to thin dressing.

Combine cabbage, cucumber, edamame, mango, green onion, and cashews in a large bowl. Season salad components with a pinch of salt. Add cooled crispy rice and dressing; toss well to combine.

so good! I traded the mangos for radishes and avocado to make chopping easier, and added salmon for a super filling salad for dinner. i love all your recipes!

Oh my! So very tasty! I used pineapple instead of mango and pecans rather than cashews. My husband loved this salad and asked for more. I’ll be making this again!

I was a bit surprised that the rice didn't pick up more flavour, but I did use frozen cooked brown rice (from Trader Joe's) instead of fresh and let it rest overnight in the refrigerator, which probably wasn't needed. The rice was done in 17 minutes at 400°F - and some of the chili flakes a bit burned, so watch closely! It needed some salt, too! Otherwise, lovely and very adaptable recipe. To reduce the oil, I think I will use Trader Joe's Chili Crisp Sprinkle right at the end. I also added some dried fried garlic.

This was so yummy! Easy to make. It was refreshing but with a nice kick from the chili crunch. My husband loved it! Will be making again! I think it will be yummy served chilled by the pool this summer!

I have made this at least a dozen times- it is SO GOOD! My whole family enjoys it. I've started to meal prep it once a week for lunch for myself and my husband- I don't dress it, and reserve the cashews and crispy rice to add just before eating to preserve the crunch factor. We add some grilled chicken for extra protein and it's the most satisfying, filling meal!

This tahini dressing is now at the top of my list. I did however use honey (double the amount due to preference) in place of sugar. I’d say that DishingOutHealth has the most saved recipes on my list of fav recipes.

Sorry, this didn’t do it for us. We found it very salty and the crispy rice was very oily. The second night we ate it we brightened it up with a squeeze of fresh lime and some cilantro. Won’t make it again though.

2nd time I make it.  I have Chinese dumplings with it which is perfect.  My family love it.

This salad is fabulous! I will make extra dressing next time. I enjoyed it just as much leftover as I did fresh, although the rice isn’t as crispy.

I came across this recipe and had to try it.   Very tasty and very adaptable!  It was a hit at our house!!!

I made this salad exactly as written and my goodness it was delicious!!

This salad is amazing!! Love the flavors and crunch.

So delicious. Used wild rice and threw in some cooked lentils. This is a perfect potluck or weekday packable lunch dish.

This was so delicious!! Will definitely be making again!

½ red onion (finely diced)

black pepper

I made this with leftover saffron rice and added some extra veggies (red cabbage and red pepper) and more olives.  It was a big hit at the potluck I took it too.  I'm saving this one!

This salad looked beautiful on the Instagram post and somehow I managed to duplicate it.... and it tasted as good as it looked.

This was simple and delicious.  I took it to a potluck and it was easy to make in advance and could be served at room temperature.  I made 2/3 white basmati rice and 1/3 brown rice to add some nutrients and fiber.

I made this for my dept meeting and of course I tried some. Super simple and delicious (others that tried it said the same) and healthy. I will make this again and I loved the dressing.
