Ladies Who Lunch

September 24, 2010

When you sandwich three pickles and a lonely slice of processed cheese
between two slices of stale bread, you know youve hit packed-lunch
purgatory. Weve come up with a few simple, creative ways to make dining
al desko gourmet.


Mix lemon, garlic, olive oil, a drop of honey and a handful of coriander
(cilantro) into raw grated carrots. Scatter a spoonful of sesame seeds
on top. Toss in some feta if you like. Delicious.

Take last nights chicken leftovers and mix the meat into some lime,
chillies, coriander (cilantro) and avocado for a hearty Mexican salad.

Cooked brown rice mixed with grated orange zest, chopped hazelnuts,
olive oil and almost any vegetable is a tasty filler-upper.

If youre really pressed for time, a tin of flageolet beans, rinsed and
mixed with a splash of olive oil and some chopped parsley is a sure
winner.
