15 pitted olives
1 tbsp capers (drained)
Juice of 1 lemon
40g EVO (+ a little more to brush cake tin)
Salt, black pepper
To decorate: cherry tomatoes, pitted olives
Preparation: * Chop parsley and basil for 7 seconds on Speed 7. Repeat if needed and then set aside
* Put water and salt in TM Bowl and bring to boil for 15 minutes at Varoma Temperature on Speed 1. (Or you just use kettle to boil water if you are in hurry)
* Insert steaming basket and put rice. Cook it for the duration that is indicated on your rice pack (It took me 15 minutes)
* In the meantime chop tomatoes and olives. Put them together with parsley and basil. Add capers, lemon juice, EVO, salt and pepper.
* Drain salmon. Crumble by your hands or by a fork into a deep bowl
* When cooked drain rice. Wash under tap water to stop overcooking. Drain and put together with salmon and mix gently
* Bring back to boil the water in TM Bowl. Insert back steaming basket, put peas inside and cook for 10 minutes at 100ºC on Speed 2
* Drain peas, wash under tap water and put together with veggies and mix gently
* Put all the ingredients together and mix gently
* Brush a cake tin with a little EVO. Put rice salad inside by pressing. Let it rest in the fridge for 1-2 hours.
