Olive Magazine

Being a veggie can often be difficult. Cheese is usually always on the menu when it comes to grabbing a quick lunch and this can sometimes be monotenous. Don't get me wrong, I am a big cheese fan. Nothing seems to go down easier than a slab of cheddar or blue cheese. But sometimes, I just want to find something different - someting unusual and off the radar.
So when I was scouring through the latest October edition of Olive Magzine, page 77 came as quite a treat: '10 Veggie lunches for £1' > Cheap and delicious.
If you haven't bought the latest Olive Magazine (then why not?) below are some of the 'meat-free lunches' which they have described:

1. 'Crunchy houmous seeded butties': Grab 2 slices of seeded brown bread and pop on a thick layer of houmous. On top of that place a grated carrot and an appropriate amount of watercredd. Alas, a sandwich is made.

2. 'Bang bang noodle salad': Cook enough egg noodles for one person and drain. Pop the noodles in a bowl with 2 thinly sliced spring onion, some shredded mange tout, 4 baby corn sliced and a bit of sliced chilli (for added warmth). In a seperate bowl, grab a table spoon of crunchy peanut butter, another table spoon of sesame oil and 2 table spoons of soy sauce - throw in enough boiling water to create a dressing. Mix it up!

Dont they sound utterly fabulous? Even if you aren't a vegetarian, how could you possibly resist? I know I will certainly be throwing them together soon. Another perfect strike, Olive.

All above recipes from: Olive Magazine, October 2010 edition.
