Quick, what can I make?

[Magelet]

I have friends coming for shabbat dinner in an hour or two (last minute), and of course being New Years day, the stores are closed.
I've got

half a roast duck
mashed sweet potatos
1 or 2 eggs
cabbage
radicchio
lettuce
broccoli
kale
tofu
sweet potatos
potatos
onions
garlic
parmisan
chedder
a can of tomato paste
much of the usual spices
duck fat and drippings
homemade beef stock
sourkraut
olive oil coconut oil
butter

and some other pantry things

pasta and rice (but our guests can't eat pasta and probably wouldn't like unsoaked rice)


What can I use the duck in? I'm thinking of doing some french onion soup without cheese, and plenty of veggie possibilities but no ideas (quickish) for the already cooked duck.

sorry I have no real suggestions...but have you checked out recipezaar.com? You can enter the item you have and it will pick recipes for you. They also have gluten free, and diabetic recipes...so I think you may find other different options....I hope that helps!

Do you have some chicken broth? I would be tempted to do an egg drop with duck and broccoli. Got any bread for a side? Melt shredded cheddar on it.

It MIGHT work out with the beef stock though.

If you have enough broccoli, do a side salad with the cabbage and broccoli and (do you have any carrots?) Shred all that with a coleslaw dressing.

I'm kind of an experimental cook- but I bet you could find some recipes along those lines. Give it a whirl.

Thanks ladies. I'll definitely check out recipezaar next time.

I forgot that shabbos was coming even before my guests so I wasn't able to get on here in time to check.

I ended up doing a simple soup and salad.

I found some chicken stock in the freezer (guess I wasn't out, but the pot of the next double batch is going on now lol), and made duck cabbage soup. (the kale was no good ). duck fat, duck, cabbage, sauted onions, sauted garlic, salt, ginger. simple and they loved it! it was fun having guests not related over for dinner to our place for the first time. (actually, the second time I've had guests over for dinner on my own, and the first time was my dad. I'm definitely going to do it more.)
