GINGER BROCCOLI STIR-FRY
WITH SWEET POTATO NOODLES

PREP TIME: 10 MINUTES / COOK TIME: 25 MINUTES

Cook the noodles and the stir-fry separately in this recipe. Then use the stir-fry like a sauce on the noodles. The ginger in the stir-fry sauce goes beautifully with the sweet potatoes. If you’d like fewer carbs, you can replace the sweet potatoes with zucchini.

FOR THE STIR-FRY

2 tablespoons coconut oil

6 scallions (white and green parts), sliced

1 teaspoon grated ginger

1 red bell pepper, sliced

2 tablespoons water

CARROT PAELLA

PREP TIME: 10 MINUTES / COOK TIME: 20 MINUTES

Valencia, which sits on the coast of Spain, has served some form of paella for centuries. It’s a saffron-scented rice dish with vegetables and a mix of meat, fish, and poultry. Here, seafood takes center stage. The sweet earthiness of the carrots mixes well with the sweet flesh of the shellfish. The chorizo adds a nice spiciness to the dish.
