Quick and hearty, a good lunch is like a blessing. Especially if you have a garden to dig, a baby to care for, a meal to cook, a nap to bless..you know the drill. This one really came out of the non-eaters. I mean, when I create recipes to order, sometimes I get leftover rice, bits of vegetarian “meat”. Well, this lunch was also put together on a plate from the first gifts of the garden, torn radish leaves, young arugula, oregano. That way you can mix and match the various carbohydrate-based ingredients you can afford for lunch, adding a legume, something crunchy like nuts, kernels, seeds. In different finishes – roasted and seasoned, raw, sprouted. Combinations pleasing not only to the tongue but also to the eye are always a surprise, even in my cooking classes. Because it’s so easy and fun. Inspirational “lunch bowls” can be found on instagram or the internet. You won’t need shallow plates at all now, with this super trend bowls will fill your kitchen shelves. At the same time, when combining ingredients, keep in mind that if you have a hot base, it’s not a good idea, for example, to add crisp lettuce leaves or herbs like mint, basil, which turn black with the hot steam, on top of a hot quiche or potatoes. So let’s try something simple like this for starters.

1.

Put olive oil in a hot pan, finely chopped shallots and immediately add the sliced “non-meat” .). if you are not veggie like me, you can use a piece of poultry breast, cod, tuna.

2.

Add pasta, toss with sesame oil (feel free to add sesame seeds too). Put in preparation bowl, stir in cooked rice. Place a portion on a deeper plate or bowl and arrange small radish leaves, arugula, torn oregano on top. We like such “quick meals” very much, if you don’t add lettuce (which would wilt), the meal prepared in this way can be carried in a picnic basket on a blanket to the park, or given to the children on a trip.
