Need some inspiration for your work lunches? Here are 9 tasty recipes to enjoy at the office!
Tired of the dull sandwich or the microwave dish hurriedly swallowed at work? Good news: all it takes is a few well-thought-out ideas to turn your lunch break into a moment of comfort. You don't have to be a chef or have three hours to spare: these recipes are homemade, easy to prepare, slip into a box and enjoy wherever you are!
Here are 8 simple, colorful and tasty ideas for eating well, even at work:
1. Savoury clafoutis with cherry tomatoes and tuna
Moist, melting and full of sunshine, this savory clafoutis ticks all the boxes for a practical takeaway meal. Just mix a few eggs, a little flour, milk, canned tuna and cherry tomatoes, pop in the oven... and you're ready to go. The result? A light texture somewhere between flan and cake, that fits perfectly in a lunchbox!
2. Soft egg and feta wrap
Looking for a fresh, quick and nutritious meal? This wrap is a real protein powerhouse. Hard-boiled eggs, crumbled feta, plain yoghurt or fromage frais, a few herbs and a squeeze of lemon: all rolled into a tortilla wrap. Easy to prepare the day before, easy to transport :)
3. Pasta salad with avocado cream, almonds and cherry tomatoes
Who said pasta salad had to be boring? Here, it gets a boost from a smooth avocado cream with just the right amount of lemon, and crunchy almonds to spice things up. Cherry tomatoes add their little sweet touch, and the whole thing holds together very well in the can!
4. Small tortilla quiches
No shortcrust pastry on hand? No problem! These mini-quiches use tortillas as a crispy base. Top with what you've got: leftover vegetables, a little cheese, a beaten egg... and off to the oven for ten minutes or so!
5. Nasi goreng: Indonesia's anti-gastap rice stir-fry
Nasi goreng is THE ideal dish for turning leftover rice into a tasty and complete lunch. Stir-fry with a few vegetables (carrots, leeks, onions, etc.), add a little soy sauce, an egg if you like, and you're ready to go.
It's simple, it's fragrant, it's easy to transport, and it reheats very well :)
6. Vegetarian salad jar
Salad in a jar is pretty, clever and practical! In this vegetarian version, we alternate layers of chickpeas, quinoa, colorful raw vegetables, a sauce on the bottom (to prevent it from getting soggy), and a little cheese or seeds for crunch.
It's ready in advance, takes up no space, and all you have to do is shake it up just before eating. An idea as pretty as it is good ;)
7. Fresh and colorful couscous salad
A bit like tabbouleh, but more generous. This couscous salad can be prepared in a flash with fine semolina, crunchy vegetables (cucumber, bell bell pepper, red onion...), fresh herbs and a dash of olive oil and lemon!
8. Chickpea curry
A comforting, fragrant, 100% vegetable dish. Chickpea curry is quick to prepare, keeps well and is easy to reheat. With a little rice or semolina, it becomes a complete and balanced meal.
9. Leek, ham and cheese gratin
Here's a sweet, simple gratin for those long days. Melt-in-your-mouth leek, soft ham, stringy cheese... it's all here to make you feel at home, even at the office. Prepared in a small individual dish or cut into slices in a tin, it reheats very well in the microwave and can be accompanied by a small green salad for a complete lunch!
In a nutshell
These recipes are here to simplify your lunches, while keeping the pleasure of eating good, homemade, stress-free food. They're easy to prepare in advance, easy to transport, and above all... they make you want to say no to processed foods.
So, which one will you try first? And if you have your own lunchbox tips, don't hesitate to share them :)
