in our house we have adopted a rule from the kids' aunt: 'we always eat the green things'. the kids accept, unquestioningly, that carrots are green, as are tomatoes and cauliflower. they eat it, because they don't really mind and (i must confess) because i am the boss. still - their passion is for carbohydrates (eldest) and fruit (youngest).today i had such fun with what turned out to be an inspired idea (i'm sure the more seasoned mother-readers amongst you will go 'doh!' but there we are). crispy duck with pancakes and hoisin sauce.
the fact their mother served them pancakes - wow! that was a whole big treat in itself (i'm not that fervently against pancakes - i just don't cook them that's all). Packing them with a variety of things - even better. My concession to eldest was the roast potatoes she was allowed to add (and as it happens she loves duck). Also I did not use the spring onions. But they happily added carrots and cucumber... such a fun meal!
going to try mexican enchiladas next weekend
je ziet hem pret hebben!
ReplyDeleteenchilladas gaan altijd als een speer,
vraagje: wat is hoisin sauce?
@Fienke: tsja. iets chinees, komt uit een flesje..... :-)
ReplyDeleteAh, goed idee, ga ik ook maken. Hoisin komt hier ook uit een flesje, het is een soort oester saus volgens mij.
ReplyDeleteWat een mooi mannetje by the way :-)
