I love having colourful salads when I have my lunches at home. I often find that salads and light meals help you beat that 3pm slump.

So, here are a few more photos of quick lunches you can prepare without any fuss.

I recently started an Instagram account for my blog and have been connecting with a couple of fab food bloggers and also a few amazing ones I’m already following here on WordPress. I saw this recipe on @martinecooks on Instagram and HAD to try it out as she said it was addictive!

The original recipe stemmed from Smitten Kitchen but because I didn’t have all the ingredients to hand, I tweaked the recipe by replacing some of the original ingredients and also added other yummy goodness! This was our lunch today…

Ingredients
πŸ† Eggplant (cut into thick circles)
πŸ† Cherry tomatoes
πŸ† Sweetcorn
πŸ† Red onion (thinly diced)
πŸ† Capers (I didn’t have capers so I substituted them with chopped gherkins)
πŸ† Feta cheese
πŸ† Walnuts
πŸ† Sultanas
πŸ† Cilantro (chopped)
πŸ† Parsley (chopped)
πŸ† Olive oil
πŸ† Lime juice

Method
1. Pre heat oven to 200 degrees C. In a baking tray, place a good 2 to 3 tbsp of olive oil and arrange the eggplants on the tray. Season the eggplants with salt & cracked black pepper and bake for at least 15 mins on each side.
2. In a bowl, combine all the other ingredients and mix well.

3. The eggplants should be of a golden colour when ready.

4. Scoop as much of the tomato mixture onto each eggplant.

Serve immedietely…

If you have been reading my blog, you will know that I seem to have a love affair with Opila as they do some of the most amazing desserts and breads.

Just recently they started doing Menu del Dia (Menu of the Day). You can imagine my excitement! For just €11 per person, you get a 3 course meal with a drink included. “Menu” as the Spanish call it, is very popular in most restaurants all around Spain. So today I met my husband for lunch to try out the menu in Opila…

my starter, tuna with anchovies over roasted vegetables, drizzled with black olive sauce…

my husband’s starter, roasted vegetables drizzled with a creamy almond sauce…

20140508-172502.jpg
my main course, cod with the 2 typical sauce from this region…

20140508-172620.jpg
my husband’s main course, squid in its ink over roasted potatoes…

20140508-172736.jpg
my dessert, a moist chocolate & raspberry cake drizzled with raspberry sauce…

my husband had a pastry covered in a hot chocolate sauce…

All in all it was a lovely lunch and I am sure we will be going back there soon!!!

Happy Thursday to all! 😊
