My Bento Box

Ok, well no not really, more of a copycat to be truthful!

Jenn  over at Not Exactly Bento inspired me with her mini meatloaf bento.

I had leftover pork sausage meat in my freezer from Christmas, so I thought I’d have a go.

Here’s my version, though I warn you, I’m not a recipe kind of follower, so this recipe is a guesstimate!

1 pack pork sausage meat ( one lb weight)

1oo grammes grated cheddar cheese

1 large onion finely chopped or grated

1 large carrot grated

2 handfuls breadcrumbs

salt and pepper

combine all ingredients in a bowl until well mixed. form into log or patty shapes and place on a grill pan.

Cook at 180 oc or 350 of for approx 30 minutes or until well done.

To freeze, allow to cool completely and freeze wrapped in parchment or waxed paper to prevent freezer burn.

In hindsight (wonderful thing that it is) next time I make these I will cook them in the oven on a flat pan or on my George Foreman grill. Cooking them on a grill pan was healthy, but not easy to remove! They were so soft they kinda sank round the grill rack and cooked! Making them a little bit difficult to remove, however with a little persuasion I was able to coax them off

Bento for  Thursday is as follows;

Wheaten soda bread, miso soup sachet, mini meatloaf, roasted broccoli, roasted sprouts and roasted carrots.

I’m taking a mug to work tomorrow as quite frankly the mugs in the building I will be in, leave a lot to be desired!!
