Tofurkey and Hummus Bento Box

Today’s featured bento demonstrates the use of  cucumbers  to separate your food items.

I used cucumber as both a baran and cup  in this lunch.  A wall of sliced cukes shores up the quinoa and Tofurkey section.  It works well  for stopping  the small quinoa grains from flowing into the garlic simmered mushrooms. 

The  hollowed out  cucumber log  contains red pepper hummus for dipping  just about everything in the box and when it’s empty… this edible container can be munched as well!

Lightly salted watermelon radish is tucked in there too for color and a zing of flavor!   And those are dried cranberries on top of the sausage for a hint of sweetness.

This bento  took less than 15 minutes to prepare and qualifies as a “speedy bento”.  

Actually, it’s a “triple threat”:

1. quick assembly  

2.  natural and edible baran

3.  it’s  vegan

If  all goes as planned, Saba Man will eat everything, including the cucumber cup, and the box will come back perfectly empty!
