It’s hard to eat the same old sandwiches every day. Introducing exotic flavours to your office lunch box will energise you for the rest of the day. Below are some simple recipes for you to try at home for flavours of the world and add a little variety in your weekday lunch life.
- Mediterranean Mezze Box
Include a few varieties of hummus, fried falafel balls (they microwave nicely), olives, cherry tomatoes with cucumber slices and pita bread for lunch that looks good enough to eat. Top with a little feta or tzatziki for added flavour.
- Japanese Bento
An easy bento box idea would be to use rice, teriyaki chicken or tofu and serve with steamed edamame and pickled veggies. Alternatively, consider the benefits of Office Lunches from //www.crumbsdelivered.co.uk/shop/office-lunch-delivery
- Mexican Burrito Bowl
Top with brown rice, black beans, grilled peppers ( a mix of red and green bell pepper), salsa and shredded cheese. Serve it with avocado or a spritz of lime.
- Italian Pasta Salad
Toss the pasta cooked with cherry tomatoes, mozzarella balls and fresh basil oregano or marjoram in a drizzle of olive oil. Top with salami/ roasted vegetable slices (or anything of your choice) for a more filling version.
- Indian-Inspired Wrap
Put cooked chicken, or chickpeas if preferred in place of them composed above on a wholegrain wrap spread with mango chutney and top it off some lettuce and sliced cucumber. These are sweet with a hint of spice that will awaken your taste buds.
Switching up your lunches for an international twist is a great way to keep things from getting boring and will motivate you to learn new food and ingredients. A couple of steps and you can be tasting world cuisine all at your desk.
