Meetings & Bento

Today is a day of meetings with a brief lunch sandwiched inbetween - and I actually have a tasty bento, mostly prepared in advance though I cooked the rice this morning in my rice cooker.
I made some spicy chicken & red pepper kebabs yesterday (but had to take them off the sticks to get them in the box!), Thai spiced (frozen mix from waitrose) griddled aubergine slices, sushi rice, pickles & a chocolate dessert pot (more later). I've also got an apple but I haven't eaten that yet!

One Pot Rabbit

I killed Thumper! Well bought him and cooked him anyway! Rabbit is a nice alternative to chicken (you can swap them in recipes, so if you can't get rabbit use chicken - but equally try using rabbit in your favourit chicken recipes) it's nice & lean and nice & cheap - I pay £3 ish for a whole one in the market which does 3-4 portions. An easy recipe which is a good summer sunday alternative to a full on roast - the left overs are good too. Serves 3-4.

1 rabbit (or small-medium free range chicken), jointed

1 aubergine, cut into chunks

1 red pepper, cut into chunks

10 small new potatoes

8 cloves of garlic, unpeeled

1 large courgette, cut into chunks

Good pinch of thyme

1. 
   
   Put the rabbit & vegetables in a roasting dish in a ingle layer.
2. 
   
   Pour over some olive oil and then mix everything with your hands until everything is shiny.
