Cooked Lunches Served Cold

Hagakure_irl · 2008-09-08 12:02:28

Hi basically I'm looking for a bit of help on lunch ideas. I don't have the facility to re-heat anything I cook, but maybe there are dishes I could cook and eat cold? Or any other lunch ideas? I'm really into Asian food, so I like cold rice etc and pasta cold as well! Any help is much appreciated :)

I made Gigantes in the weekend, basically butterbeans in a tomatoey sauce.
It is a nice dish cold or room heat.
Greek cuisine has a lot of dishes that can be eaten at room temperature.

Don't forget thermos flasks! you can get wide mouth ones bowl type ones now, if you rinse with boiling water and leave boiling water sit then they can stay really hot, perfect for stuff with a lot of liquid/sauce, like curries & rice etc. I do not like food piping hot anyway. You could microwave it in a normal bowl until roasting in the morning and pour it in.

Some ideas:

Soba noodle salad (sesame seeds, spring onions, cucumber and soy sauce);
Potato fritatta;
Niçoise salad (salad greens, tomatoes, boiled eggs, tuna, green beans);
Meat croquettes or risoles;
Ratatoille (aubergines, courgettes, peppers, onions, roasted then mixed with feta cubes and black olives)

There is also a wonderful site about bento boxes with lots of ideas, look it up, is well worth it!
