· You can use the Varoma for steaming during step 5 - it's a good way to cook your
vegetables at the same time as cooking the chicken.
· Victoria likes to steam some eggs as well in step 5 - they will be hard-boiled and
are lovely peeled, chopped and added to the dish as a garnish.
· Delicious served with rice or bread, and a green salad or steamed vegetables.
