Little something I picked up from a vegetarian cookbook. I'm not vegetarian however so I suggest adding in a few shrimp here or there.
Ingredients:
7 ounces medium chinese egg noodles
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 medium onion, roughly chopped
1 red bell pepper, seeded and roughly chopped
1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and roughly chopped
12 ounces zucchini, roughly chopped
3/4 cup roasted unsalted peanuts, roughly chopped
1/4 cup olive oil
1 lemon, juice and zest of
1 fresh red chili pepper, seeded and finely chopped
3 tablespoons fresh chives
1 -2 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
salt and pepper
Directions:
1. Cook noodles according to package directions, drain well.
2. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a very large frying pan(Wok works well too) cook the garlic and onions for 3 min or until they get soft. Add the peppers and zucchini and cook for another 15 minute over medium heat until they soften and brown. Add the Peanuts and cook for 1 more minute.
3. Wisk together Olive oil, lemon zest, and 3 tblspn lemon juice. Add in chilie, chives, and balsamic vinegar to taste. season with salt & pepper.
