Bento Challenge week 2 - my bento n.4
In the afternoon I made some gluten-free bread and froze half of it for next week bentos (I would like to prepare a couple of sandwich bentos!)
In today's bento:
:: pureed pumpkin with Parmigiano cheese
:: broccoli and carrots
:: Chicken and dried porcini mushrooms braised in millet beer
:: fragrant, home-made bread!
It is not a particularly colorful bento and I'm afraid it is not very well balanced but it did not take much to prepare. I love the contrast between the sweet taste of pumpkin and the strong taste of Parmigiano cheese, I think they melt perfectly together and the pumpkin took 15 minutes to cook and I did it while preparing a red chicori risotto for dinner.
Plus, the chicken: one of my favourite recipes for chicken, from a heart-warming book I love, 'Cooking with Hobbits!' (A tavola con gli Hobbit, the recipes in the book are all based on Tolkien's 'Lord of the Rings' trilogy and of course I love this recipes book because I love Tolkien). I tried the recipe on chicken thights and it took a while, but for this bento I used smaller pieces and it took 10 minutes :-)
