Noodle Vegetable Fish Guacamole Stew-ish Thing


So, obviously, I wasn't entirely sure what to call this one. I found left over noodles, fish, guacamole, and lemons in the fridge, so I invented this stew thing. It was quite good! The guacamole on top was really nice.







Recipe: 

(Creates 1 Serving)

Stew thing:
1/4 Cup left over cooked pieces of salmon or chicken or beef (or just cook the pieces of meat/fish in a separate pan or boil it with the noodles)
1/2 Cup brown rice noodles
1 Cup water
1 Green Onion, chopped
1/4 Cup Yellow Onion, chopped
1 Garlic Clove, minced
1 Stick of Celery, chopped
1 Handfull of Salted Almonds
2 Tablespoons Coconut Oil
1/2 Tablespoon Lemon Juice
Fresh Parsley and/or Fresh Basil
Turmeric
Cinnamon
Rosemary
Oregano
Ginger
Salt

Guacamole Topping: 
Half an Avocado, squished
Half a tomato, chopped
1/8 Cup Yellow Onion, diced
1/8 Cup Red Bell Pepper, diced
1 Teaspoon Lemon Juice
A little bit of Cayenne Pepper or Paprika
Xylitol
Salt


Directions:

Boil the brown rice noodles (and small pieces of chopped fish/meat, if you don't have leftovers to use) in 1 cup of water and 1 tablespoon of coconut oil for as long as the package of noodles recommends. Chop the yellow and green onions, and the garlic, and add them to the boiling noodles.

While those boil, chop up a stick of celery, and basil/parsley leaves. Then prepare the guacamole by mixing the ingredients listed above in a small bowl.

When the noodles are done, strain the pasta mixture and put the pasta back into the pot. (Note: In the photo, I used a pan rather than a pot because the noodles and fish I used were already cooked, so I just started at this step.)









Add in almonds, 1 tablespoon of coconut oil, 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice, and the celery, basil and/or parsley you chopped. (Add in the left over fish/meat at this point.) Sprinkle in turmeric, cinnamon, rosemary, ginger, oregano, and salt. Stir everything in the pot over a low heat for a minute or two.







Pour the contents of the pot into a bowl. (Optional: Taste the mixture and add more turmeric and cinnamon if you're crazy like me and want it to taste overly-spicy. You could even add some cayenne pepper in there if you want.)








Pour the guacamole on top, and you're ready to eat!













Cheater additions: I actually did not use salmon; I used some sort of white fish. So technically that wasn't the perfect thing for my diet. But whatever. Close enough. :P
