Fry veg in your choice of coconut oil or butter and olive oil, add herbs and spices and fry for a minute or two. I also added a veg stock cube and tobasoco here. Add liquids and passata bring to boil and simmer I also added 2 carrots so if using these or any other hard veg simmer until they are almost tender 10 -15 minutes. Add ground almonds, stir then add the fish. Cook on a low to moderate heat until fish is cooked aprox 5 - 10 minutes dep on your preference.

I loved this. Never made anything fishy before other than roasted in the oven. DP had his on microwave rice with grated hard cheese (organic mature cheddar) and I blended some with a little extra water and a little tomato puree for dc's pasta. I had to pop out so had mine reheated as a soupy stew and this did no harm.

leftover leg of lamb soup

thenourishingcook.com/leftover-leg-of-lamb-soup/

Basically the leftover joint is slow cooked in liquid before making the oup. The advantage of this method is that it is easy to strip the leftover lamb from the bone once it has been slow cooked. The liquid that it has been cooked in also contains the goodness from the broth and becomes the stock for the stew. I was amazed how much meat was stripped off the slowcooked bone. It also blended nicely to make a sauce for children's pasta (all three ate it - amazing).

I did a speeded up version of this with my slow cooker on high.
