In the rush of wrapping up a busy day, it’s comforting to know that you can also wrap up a meal presentable enough for guests in about half an hour.

This savory filo strudel gets a head start with cooked ham and cooked rice (from a deli or Chinese take-out counter ― or use instant rice). While the strudel bakes, stir together a simple mustard sauce and season watercress with rice vinegar to serve as salad.
