Equipment

  • 1 Thermomix

Ingredients
  

  • 750 ml water from the cold tap, NOT hot
  • 400 g fresh chard clean (whole), rainbow or swiss varieties work
  • 3 medium potatoes in chunks (500-600 g)
  • 2 cloves garlic peeled, you can add more to taste
  • 35 g extra virgin olive oil use a bit more, 40 g, if you are using 500 g of chard
  • 1 teaspoon sweet paprika half teaspoon if using smoked paprika
  • 1 pinch salt (Maldon sea salt or Himalayan pink salt work great)

Instructions
 

  • Place the chard in the Varoma and cover with the lid, then place the potatoes in the inner steaming basket. Pour the water (750 ml) in the bowl, insert the inner basket with the potatoes. Close the lid and place the Varoma on top: Varoma, 25 minutes, speed 1. Check that the potatoes are cooked, give them a few more minutes on Varoma, speed 1 if not.
    750 ml water, 400 g fresh chard, 3 medium potatoes
  • Remove the Varoma and the basket. Dry the bowl quickly with a clean cloth (wash it first if you want but I didn’t), it needs to be dry as you’re about to add oil and it just doesn’t mix well with water.
  • Chop the garlic 7 seconds, speed 5. Use the spatula to lower the bits of garlic that may have travelled up the walls of the bowl and the lid.
    2 cloves garlic
  • Add the oil and paprika: 100ºC, 5 minutes, speed 1.
    35 g extra virgin olive oil, 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
  • Leave the oil to cool down a bit (I set my phone’s timer to 5 minutes for this). Put the butterfly in place (I have to confess that I don’t always use the butterfly and it turns out fine but it’s best if you do).
  • Add the chard, then the potatoes (this order is very important, the potatoes need to go on top): Varoma (TM5: 120º), 8 minutes, reverse, soft speed (spoon symbol). Serve and season with salt as necessary.
    1 pinch salt

Notes

My tip
Boil an egg per person and either serve it alongside the chard and potatoes or chop 1 or 2 eggs and add at the end, for this I would do 1 minute, reverse, soft speed.
