#400 – Frittata Lunch

February 18th, 2010

#400 - Frittata

Did you spot the little mouse in my salad?  He’s a buddy of the panda featured in lunch #396.  I’m finding these little bottles really handy to add a bit of zing to salads or steamed veggies and of course the cute factor doesn’t hurt either.

Today’s Lunch:

  • Chorizo, feta and green pepper frittita,
  • salad with lettuce, tomato, cucumber and carrot with
  • a mouse bottle filled with lemon juice to dress the salad.

#398 – Tofu and Vegetable Stew Lunch

#398 - Tofu and Vegetable Stew

This is a lunch that I packed for myself awhile back using leftovers from a Meatless Monday dinner. I made this vegetarian stew by cooking up a bunch roughly chopped tomatoes with chunks of carrot, green pepper and spring onion with some smoked paprika and cumin. When everything was cooked I added some big chucks of smoked tofu and let it warm though.

Today’s Lunch:

  • Tofu and vegetable stew with
  • couscous.

#397 – Vietnamese Summer Roll Lunch

#397 - Vietnamese Summer Rolls

I’ve been a little scarce on the blogging front lately. The combination of a broken camera and succumbing to the nasty bug that is doing the rounds has kept me from packing/posting any lunches. Today’s post is a lunch I packed last week that I photographed with the camera in my phone. It contains my first attempt at making a variation of Vietnamese Summer rolls. They didn’t turn out too badly, but are probably best eaten right after you make them and not left in the fridge overnight as I did.

Today’s Lunch:

  • Vietnamese Summer rolls filled with smoked ham and julienne carrot, mange tout, red cabbage, baby corn and spring onions,
  • a dipping sauce with soy sauce, umeboshi vinegar and some slices of spring onion and
  • some baby tomatoes.
