This past summer I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to intern with a major company/law firm in London, UK. Of course, working in the corporate world, I got an hour long lunch break every day. Being the food/eating nut that I am, I took that opportunity to try as many of the little food shops in London’s financial district as I could… and believe me there are a lot of them. There was one, however, that I just kept going back to. It was called Tempi Med and it was just a block or two from both my work and St. Paul’s Cathedral. I would go pick up food there and then sit in the St. Paul’s courtyard in the sun and eat.
There was this one thing that they made and, oh man, it was so good that I had to get it once a week. So simple, too! Anyway, once I got back stateside I started to miss my delicious lunch dish. Then I realized that it was so simple I could just make it myself! And so I do. Frequently. With vigor.
Picture to come, there isn’t one on the Tempi Med website and I haven’t taken one myself yet. (http://www.tempimed.co.uk BUT the menu doesn’t have my item anymore… they changed the lettuce to avocado, it looks like.)

This is absolutely glorious. It’s good for you, its delicious, and it’s relatively inexpensive! It’s hard to get much better than that. AND it’s a vegetarian dish! This is great when you eat it with some hummus on crackers or fruit. A change that I will probably try is adding some avocado instead of about half the lettuce. Yum!
