For a simple yet highly flavoursome canapé idea, try our hoisin duck and cucumber bites. It uses a speedy hack by using pre-made duck pâté, store-bought hoisin sauce that all sits on top of a cucumber slice.
It's salty, sweet and fresh and will have you coming back for more and more. It's got all the flavours of a popular Chinese takeaway feast, in an easy one-bite. Serve with a glass of our winning fizz, tried and tested by the Good Housekeeping Institute.

GH TIPS:
Not a fan of duck? Try using shredded cooked chicken breast instead.
GET AHEAD: Make and garnish up to 2hr ahead; loosely cover and chill.
These would be equally as delicious with crispy rice on the base too. If you have leftover cooked rice that's been chilling, cut into small cubes and either air-fry until golden or deep-fry in oil until golden and crispy all over.
