Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked rice
- 300g fish fillets (any white fish will do)
- 200g sausages, sliced
- 200g noodles (preferably egg noodles)
- 1 cup leftover pizza, diced
- 2 apples, diced
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons oil
- Salt, to taste
- Sugar, a pinch
- 1 cup brewed coffee (strong)
- 1 slice of strawberry cake, crumbled (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Get that oven heated to 180°C (350°F). We want it hot and ready to work its magic.
- Cook the Noodles: Boil water in a large pot, add a pinch of salt, and cook the noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Prepare the Fish and Sausage: In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the sliced sausages and cook until browned. Toss in the fish fillets and cook until they flake easily with a fork. Season with salt and a pinch of sugar to balance the flavors.
- Mix the Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cooked rice, noodles, diced apples, and leftover pizza. Add the fish and sausage mixture, followed by the brewed coffee and milk. Stir it all together like your life depends on it!
- Assemble the Bake: Pour the entire mixture into a greased baking dish. Spread it evenly, and make sure every bite will have that lovely blend of flavors.
- Bake It: Pop the dish into the oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until it’s bubbling and golden on top. Keep an eye on it; we’re not here to make a soggy mess!
- Garnish: Once it’s out of the oven, sprinkle the crumbled strawberry cake on top for an unexpected sweet twist. Yes, you heard me right! It’s all about balance!
- Serve: Let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Dish it out onto plates and make sure it looks as good as it tastes.
