Bonjour! For today's post I thought I'd share with you a recipe for one of my go-to lunches, which I reach for especially when I'm lacking time/inspiration. My gluten allergy, or 'the life ruiner' as I fondly call it, means that I can be quite restricted in terms of what I can eat, so for lunch I often start by chucking together a variety of veg and take it from there. It's a pretty healthy recipe too so you can feel all righteous and Victoria's Secret model-esque (at least until 3 o'clock when it's tea and biscuit time). It's INCREDIBLY easy, so you don't need to be of the Delia variety to be able to make it!
YOU WILL NEED:

Half a pepper (in whatever colour you so fancy)
4 mushrooms
6 sundried tomatos (I had to use cherry toms here as I'd ran out, but sundried will make it a lot more flavoursome)
1/2 a courgette
4 mushrooms
6 sundried tomatos (I had to use cherry toms here as I'd ran out, but sundried will make it a lot more flavoursome)
1/2 a courgette
A handful of mangetout
1/3 Aubergine
Feta or goats cheese, I use around 8-10 cubes (it's also really good with Halloumi. I love cheese.)
Spinach
Seeds (I like sunflower, sesame and pumpkin)

1) Slice and dice your veg to your preference. Heat up some oil in a frying pan - I use coconut as it's nice and healthy and gives another tasty layer to the salad - and throw in your peppers, courgettes, mangetout and aubergines, as these'll take a little longer to cook. Fry these on a med-high heat for 3/4 minutes then add in your mushrooms and tomatoes and cook for a further minute or so (until you see them browning slightly). Here you can choose either to add the spinach to the pan, or lay the spinach uncooked on a plate as a little bed for your hot veg. Whatever tickles your pickle! Either way, just make sure to, you know, wash it.
2) Pop you veg in a plate and sprinkle your cheese and seeds over the top. I have my salad sans sauce but if you'd like to add a little balsamic or something then this is the time to go crazy.
And that's it; a delicious and healthy lunch cooked and prepared in under 15 minutes! If you'd like to add a little more substance to it then I'd add in some chickpeas, sweet potato or tuna - it's delicious with all.
Happy eating!

This is my favourite kind of lunch! Constantly take a salad with all the trimmings to work with me, and its always surprisingly filling!
I like to add Feta, Halloumi but mostly I add a couple of spoonfuls of cottage cheese! :P

This is so often how my meals come to be as well. Just throwing a bunch of good veggies in a pan...and topping them with cheese and pumpkin seeds. Voila! So much simpler and healthier than making a carryout run.
