Dishes for when you’re too tired to cook
Worked all day or rushed from one place to another, and then you still have to cook in the evening. You don’t feel like buying a hundred ingredients or standing over the stove for hours. These dishes are for all those times when you do want to cook yourself, but really don’t have the energy anymore.
1. Omelet
The perfect way to clear out the fridge. Add a piece of bread and you can call it a meal.
Another one you might not even need to leave the house for. Canned tomatoes, olives, capers and anchovies all keep forever in your kitchen cupboard and together make a fantastic sauce.
3. Pasta pesto
Another pantry classic. Add a knob of butter for ultimate creaminess.
4. Peking duck
If you have time to stop by the Asian supermarket, a ready-made Peking duck from the freezer is your ultimate lifesaver. Pancakes are in the freezer section right next to it. Add cucumber, spring onion and hoisin or black bean sauce, and you have a dish you can proudly serve to guests.
5. Pan-toasted sandwich
This one is for when you really don’t feel like it. Simply cheese and bread are already enough. If you still have a tomato, a slice of ham or some pesto, pop it on that sandwich, of course.
