Lasagne bento


Leftover lasagne was the anchor dish in this bento. I make my own sauce with black olives and bell peppers, onion, garlic and herbs, and use three cheeses, ground beef, and spinach for the layers. The bundle of spinach that I purchased the very same day as I made this dish smelled off. So I tossed it out. If experience has taught me anything, it has taught me to trust my instincts and my nose.

The ham and cheese puff pastry was a fun addition. The mini sweet peppers were stuffed with shiitake saute in butter. Half mini bagel with cream cheese, dried apricots, radish, and two hard boiled quail eggs filled the second tier and were left out of the Mr. Bento thermos (because everything was hot in the thermos).

This bento serves as breakfast, lunch, and snack in a very cold building. Although the building does warm up with the heater blasting, it takes awhile.
