Lunches

Our lady of lunches

No. Not the type with two bottles of Chablis. The other ones, where you're freelance, on a budget and working from home.

A rarely mentioned aspect about working from home, is just how much you think about making lunch. If there are no leftovers to hand, my lunches ideally need to be quick, healthy and satisfying. For my own amusement, and maybe yours, I've scored these with an effort to taste ratio. They're all sized for one person, too. I really don't like measuring things out.

Go on. Send me something to try.

Summer omelette with a scarlet salad

This omelette is based on one from BBC Good Food, where it's called From-the-fridge omelette. In addition to the ingredients you can see there, I used a small clove of garlic to, you know, garlic it up a bit, and a mix of strong cheddar and Parmesan cheese.

I like a scarlet salad. This one has my favourite super-sweety-sour-umami Datterini tomatoes, with red pepper and radishes. And a squeeze of lemon, which you can't see here. 

That's some homemade elderflower cordial too, using a River Cottage recipe.

Effort to taste ratio (both out of 10):
2:6

Verdict:
Needs the garlic for my taste. Good smug feelings about the amount of veg.
