After a hard morning of work, all you want is a lunch that you can prepare quickly. Here are eight quick lunch ideas you should try this autumn!
This Mediterranean meal is perfect for vegetarians or anyone looking for a lighter dish. The pan-fried halloumi cheese is matched with avacado, sourdough, and whatever veggies you choose! The dish can then be served with the herbs of your choice. Thyme and spinach are the recommended options. If you want something with a stronger taste, you can fry the halloumi in barbecue sauce to create a blend of Mediterranean and American culture.
Eggroll bowls are one of the most versatile lunches you can have. What you include is entirely up to you. Whilst eggrolls are generally high in calories, eggroll bowls are not. The bowl gives you all the yummy filling from the eggrolls without any of the heavy pastry. There are so many variations you can try, but some of the recommended flavours are chicken Parmesan or ground pork with peppers.
Nothing says autumn lunch quite like a pumpkin! This healthy dish only takes 20 minutes to prepare and it will compliment your pumpkin spiced latte perfectly. The sweet fruity taste of the pumpkin mixes beautifully with the cinnamon seasoning to create a dish which will keep your taste buds sizzling all afternoon.
This delicious meal takes 15 minutes to prepare and is worth every minute. All you need is two salmon fillets, some vermicelli noodles, curry paste, mange tout, and a handful of frozen peas and you will have an autumn lunch to die for! For some added flavour, you can serve with a few sprigs of basil before drizzling with the juice from a fresh orange.
If you love pâté, you cannot get better than this dish. This flavoursome dish uses Dijon mustard and horseradish to create a smokey pâté that will leave you drooling for hours. To serve, grab some sourdough bread or a warm ciabatta and spread a hearty serving of pâté on top.
Creating homemade ramen is much easier than you might think. First, you will need some noodles. You can source some traditional Japanese or Korean noodles, or you can go with vermicelli if it is easier. From there, all you need are two eggs, garlic, mushrooms, a carrot, a handful chives, and some chicken broth. Splash in a dash of soy sauce and you have the perfect homemade ramen!
This fruity take on the classic sandwich will add a dose of fun to your lunch break. This dish is easy to create if you are used to making grilled cheese. All you need to do is put a large dollop of marmalade on piece of bread before layering the cheese on top. Make sure you use a decent amount for maximum ooze.
This dish is perfect for your lunchbox when you do not have time to cook before lunch and only takes 10 minutes to prepare. Pour a bowl of chicken stock (or vegetable stock for a vegetarian option) over the chickpeas and couscous and let them soak before mixing in red peppers and broccoli. For added crunch, crush some almonds into the mixture. Top it all off with two hearty spoonfuls of Greek style yoghurt and you will have a delicious and spicy autumn lunch.
