The options are endless... My wife and I both work, I do 99% of the cooking, often late at night with a less-than-stocked selection of ingredients.

A couple of ideas... soak a cedar plank for 3 minutes. Heat on grill on one side for 2 minutes, flip over and pour a good amount of rum on the now warmed side, salmon fillet on top of that, more rum on the salmon, season to taste. Cook for another 5-6 minutes. Grill some asparagus alongside the salmon directly on the grill, seasoned with oil and balsamic vinegar.

Thin porks chops cook quickly, and can be flavored with a mixture of apple cider vinegar, sugar and peppercorns for a sweet/peppery sauce. Cook the sauce along with the 'chops.

Chop up some raw chicken breasts and saute light butter. Cook batch of egg noodles at the same time, and heat some french-cut green beans in the micro. Make a sauce of sourcream, onion soup mix and herbs. Once the chicken and noodles are done, combine all the ingredients as an impromptu casserole. If you're not limited to 10 minutes, add some bread crumbs on top and bake in the oven for a bit to heat everything all the way through and let the flavors combine.




I'm sure it's a good recipe, but I couldn't stop laughing after "soak a cedar plank."


Worse, my first thought was "you have to soak a cedar plank for at least an hour!"


You really don't though, a few minutes is all that is needed for something that cooks quick like fish.


The laughter is coming from the size implied by "cedar plank".


You just made this thread my all-time HN favorite. Here here!


Chop up some raw chicken....this one is a winner.
