Lunchbox prepping: chore or pleasure? Whether it’s for school or work, it can sometimes be difficult to come up with new meal ideas. Thanks to Roma products and our delicious solutions, you can simplify your meal prep while diversifying your menu!
Roma has everything you need to make a change from the traditional ham sandwich on white bread. Cooked sliced sausages and capicollo are two of our favourite products: these deli meats are the proteins of choice for your lunchbox or bento.
Delicious Cooked Sliced Sausages
Everyone loves sausages, be they mild or hot! But have you ever tried them cold? Our cooked sliced sausages will simplify your daily life and bring a touch of novelty to your lunches. Very versatile, they’ll enhance the flavours of your meals in the blink of an eye. Choose between our mild Italian version or our spicy harissa merguez, depending on your preferences.
Work Lunch: Merguez Ciabatta
Make heads turn at the office with this delicious merguez sandwich on ciabatta bread. Nothing’s easier: simply spread mayonnaise on your bread, then top with Roma cooked sliced merguez sausages, red onions, provolone or cheddar cheese and a variety of microgreens (radish, beet, broccoli, arugula, sunflower, etc.). Add tomato slices at the very last minute. A perfect way to reinvent your sandwich!
Tip: for a crunchier texture, toast the bread and sauté the cooked sliced sausages!
School Lunch: Mini Naans With Mild Italian Sausage
Kids will love our mini naans with mild Italian sausage. Easy to eat, these sandwiches are perfect for small appetites. To make them, fill mini naans with mayonnaise, Roma cooked sliced mild Italian sausages, lettuce, tomato and cheddar cheese. Fill the other bento compartments with cucumbers, cheese cubes and ranch dip, and voilà! You’ve got yourself a simple, appetizing lunch in no time.
Tip: to avoid wet sandwiches, place the tomato slices in a separate container. Your child can add them at the last minute.
Shake Things Up With Sliced Round Capicollo
This capicollo is our sliced version of Italian ham. Whether in a sandwich or served with crackers, vegetables and cheese cubes, this tender, extra-lean meat made from marinated pork shoulder will take your tastebuds on a journey! Roma offers this charcuterie in mild and spicy versions, to satisfy every craving.
Roma’s delicious deli meats are available in groceries and specialty food stores across Quebec.
Work Lunch: European-Style Sandwiches
Adults need variety in their lunchboxes too! For a meal that’s anything but boring, cut a baguette in half and top it with mayonnaise, hot capicollo slices, apple slices, Brie cheese and red onions.
Tip: nobody likes browned apples. To prevent oxidation, opt for the Cortland variety and add a little lemon juice to the slices.
School Lunch: Capicollo Rolls
Sometimes, you simply need to vary the presentation of a meal to renew the kids’ lunchbox. Fun and delicious, these capicollo rolls are sure to please your little ones. Making them is easy: spread mayonnaise on a large tortilla, add Boston lettuce, slices of mild capicollo and cheese, then roll the tortilla up tightly. Slice each tortilla into 2 cm rolls. For a colourful lunch, garnish the bento with snow peas, cherry tomatoes, cheese cubes, kiwi slices and grapes.
Tip: hold the rolls in place by securing them with toothpicks.
