Preperation and cooking time: 35 minutes

Serves: 4

Seafood and vegetable salad ingredients:

1. 50 ml olive oil

2. 100 g French beans, trimmed

3. 1 aubergine, diced

4. 1 red pepper, seeded and finely sliced

5. 1 yellow pepper, seeded and finely sliced

6. 1 tbsp chives, finely chopped

7. 1 tbsp parsley leaves, finely chopped

8. 200 g prawns, peeled and de-veined

9. 150 g squid rings, washed

10. 125 g cooked mussel meat

11. 1/2 lemon, juiced

12. salt and pepper

Preparation method:

1. Bring the iCook 3 litre saucepan of salted water to the boil and cook the French beans for 1–2 minutes until just tender. Drain and refresh in iced water.

2. Heat half of the olive oil in a large iCook frying pan or Dutch oven over a moderate heat.

3. Sauté the prawns, squid rings and aubergine with some seasoning for 3–4 minutes, tossing and stirring occasionally.

4. Add the cooked mussel meat a minute before the prawns and squid are cooked, to warm through. Remove from the heat and transfer to a mixing bowl.

5. Add the peppers, French beans and toss well to combine. Dress with the remaining olive oil and lemon juice and season to taste.

6. Spoon into serving bowls and garnish with the chopped parsley and chives. Serve immediately, along with the spicy soy salad dressing.

Note: As an alternative, you can replace the seafood with chicken if preferred. If there are leftovers, place them in one of the iCook stainless steel mixing bowls. Once everyone has eaten enough, you can easily seal the mixing bowl with its matching lid.
