For most of us, the microwave is the only cooking implement we have access to in the office.
And while the machines get a bad rep – mainly due to shitty ready meals that would insult anyone with taste buds – there are lots of ways to use these things for good rather than evil.
Here’s our pick of the best four lunches you can cook in the microwave in work this week.
1. Risotto
Super simple, super quick, and way less hassle than doing it over a stove. Basically the life hack you never knew you needed, until now.
2. Vegetarian tagine
The ideal recipe to make in bulk, freeze, and bring to work every day. This dish incorporates your five a day, and is also pretty bloody delicious.
3. Fritatta
While frittatas are usually considered a breakfast food, they’re really actually a really quick, easy and tasty lunch option.
The eggs paired with whatever herbs, meat and vegetables you have lying around combine to make a dish that ticks pretty much every box.
4. Jambalaya
This healthy, spicy, delicious recipe is quicker and easier to make than you’d ever think. It also totally hits the spot for those lunch time cravings we all get.
