Winter - Brown Bag Lunches

[Pedal Wench]

I might have to try the Ribollita one tomorrow too. I'm assuming that you use canned white beans?

Made the Ribollata tonight -- will have it for lunch tomorrow. I kinda personalized it with what I had - I used two bags of shredded kale, four cans of great northern beans, and I didn't have tomatoes, but I did have half a jar of spaghetti sauce. Since I also didn't have garlic, I thought it would work.

Thanks for the new recipe!

I like Couscous. I buy Near East original plain. I use the recipe on the back of the box, but here it is.......

Zesty Greek Couscous Salad
1 package Near East Couscous Original Plain - the box is 10 ounces
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 T lemon juice
3 T olive oil - important b/c it keeps the couscous from sticking together
2 large chopped tomatoes
1 medium zucchini, halved and thinly sliced
1/2 cup fresh basil cut in strips - I use dried and just guess
1/3 cup green onions sliced

Prepare couscous by bringing 2 C water or broth to a boil, add 1/2 tsp salt and 3 T olive oil. Stir in couscous, cover, and let stand for 5 minutes.

The recipe says to add the veggies and remaining ingredients. I like to saute my green onions first. Refrigerate.

I eat this cold. I really like these containers b/c they don't spill or leak, they are just the right size, and they are cheap......
