Have you got a trusty cheat's dinner? A recipe you can whip up 'in a jiffy'? One that everyone loves? Fridays are J's long days at work and I try to have something easy to prepare and assemble that can feed the kids at 6pm and remains fresh for when J eats at about 8:30pm.
A foodie friend put me on to a local Chinese grocer who sells peking duck. You can go in and buy (a half or) whole duck and they'll debone it for you for about $28 which leaves a bit for lunch the following day.
My cheat's meal for peking duck is duck pancakes. The preparation should take less than 5 minutes and can be assembled as needed.
ingredients serves 4
hoisin sauce - about $3 a jar. Lasts months
pancake - if not fresh may be found in the freezer section, dozen = $3.50
cucumber x 4, cut in half, deseeded. Each half cut in to 6 lengths
mint leaves
method
Using the back of a teaspoon smear the pancake with half teaspoon of hoisin sauce. Place pieces of duck an cucumber on the hoisin. Top with a few fresh mint leaves. Roll up like a wrap and eat!
