Will you be my
vegan Valentine? Haha, I'm just having a bit of fun, I'm not really
one for Valentine's Day. In Finland it's known as friends' day,
Ystävänpäivä, which I find somewhat better. So I want to
wish all my readers a very happy friends' day!
Somehow the season
gripped me anyway, and I made some “romantic” lunchboxes for my
partner and me containing beetroot coloured onigiri hearts made from
sushi rice and some fresh vegetables and a spicy
chilli-soy-sesameoil-dip. It was all presented in the style of a
bento box. I cooked the sushi rice with a few beetroot bits in the
pot in order to colour it red. I also added a umeboshi paste centre
to the hearts, just a little bit, in order to have a spicy zing
inside.
How are you
spending Valentine's Day? Do you have any food traditions for it?
