I'm not a sandwich person, I can have it twice a week max no more than that. According to my work mate I always have elaborate lunches, apparently that means I rarely have sandwiches. I personally think it has something to do with my Indonesian background, I grew up with rice or noodles for breakfast, lunch and dinner, I did have the occassional toast for breakfast but it was more for a treat in the weekend.
So the habit goes everywhere with me, it doesn't matter where I live, I will always have my elaborate lunch.
Here is one of my elaborate lunches, Bagel with cheese, coriander and dried apricot.
Ingredients:
Bagel, sliced in half
Cream cheese
A handful of corianders, finely chopped
A medium size chily, deseeded and finely chopped.
A handful of dried apricot, chopped.
and some nice grated cheddar.
I'm not giving an exact measurement it's a freestyle dish, if you like it cheesier than add more cheese and if you like it spicier add another chili. And when you assembled your perfect bagel, warm it up in the microwave about a minute and half so the cheese and apricot will melt.
Yummy warm bagel!
PS: Most people will think that adding raw chili in your bagel is crazy, so feel free to opt this ingredient out.
