It happens all too often. I meant to start supper an hour ago, but the
|
|
telephone rang, or the traffic was dreadful or I was just late, late, late.
|
|
|
|
Now the children are hungry, my husband is having a sense of humour failure
|
|
caused by low blood sugar levels, and we are all too knackered to spend more
|
|
than five minutes getting food on the table.
|
|
|
|
Ready meals are out of the question. They take too much time to reheat. And
|
|
let's face it, those flimsy white plastic trays of slop feel like prison food,
|
|
not nourishment or pleasure. There has to be a better alternative.
|
|
|
|
Enter _Five Minute Food_, the new Telegraph TV webcast, available to watch at
|
|
[www.telegraph.co.uk/fiveminute][7]. Like its big sister, [_Ten Minutes to
|
|
Table_][7], I'm cooking in real time - no cheating, no backstage help. But
|
|
with just half the time, I'm feeling the pressure.
|
|
|
|
Of course, it won't be fancy dishes. But a Mexican-style toasted cheese
|
|
sandwich, a spicy soup, even a simple duck dish, can be made from fresh
|
|
ingredients and whizzed on to the table faster than the average takeaway can
|
|
knock out an oil-slicked tikka masala.

Sure it's fast, but it's real food, with fresh ingredients. Never mind the
|
|
speed, feel the quality.

### Recipes

|
|
|
Every week, we will be pitting Xanthe against the clock to conjure up[** new
|
|
speedy and delicious meals**][9]. Whet your appetite by watching the first
|
|
four here:
|
|
|
|
**Noodles with teriyaki sauce and smoked duck: **Amazingly popular and very
|
|
easy. You could use leftover roast duck instead of the smoked duck, or if you
|
|
have time, cook a fresh duck breast.
|
|
|
|
[**Watch the video, print the recipe**][10]** **
|
|
|
|
**Soft polenta with parmesan and prosciutto: **Comfort in a bowl for a chilly
|
|
day. Instead of prosciutto, eat polenta with grilled salmon, or on its own.
|
|
|
|
[**Watch the video, print the recipe **][11]** **
|
|
|
|
**Quesadillas with avocado, salt and lime:** It's all too easy to eat too many
|
|
of these quesadillas, all crisp tortilla and gooey melted cheese, the
|
|
Mexicans' better answer to the toasted cheese sandwich. Avocado dressed with
|
|
nothing more than coarse salt and lime juice is a magic combination.
|
|
|
|
[**Watch the video, print the recipe **][12]** **
|
|
|
|
**Spicy tom yam soup: **This hot and sour broth is also delicious cold. If you
|
|
need carbs, microwave a pouch of ready-cooked rice to eat alongside it.
