Here's another hubby bento. I packed him fixins for mini-falafel pita sandwiches (I got a smaller version of the same thing). I forgot the lettuce -- whoopsies. All in all, this is a fairly quick bento meal. The couscous takes 5 minutes to cook once the water boils, and the falafel mixture needs to sit 10 minutes before you form it into patties and fry for a minute on each side. It took me a little longer this morning because I made the entire box of falafel mix, which makes about 26-28 mini-pita-sized patties. If the falafel patties were already made, or if I had only made what I needed, this one would have been a breeze!
