We hosted a few friends for a games and appetizers night this past weekend. They're not vegetarian and I wanted to make something they would find familiar - and something they could eat without missing the meat. I came up with this easy recipe for lettuce wraps. Enjoy!
You will need:
1 head of butter lettuce
3 cups of assorted veggies (onions, carrots, red peppers, snow peas, etc...), chopped fine or julienned
1/2 cup chow mein noodles (cooked vermicelli noodles work well here, too!)
1/4 cup chopped peanuts
For sauce:
1/4 cup peanut butter
1 Tbsp peanut oil
1 Tbsp tamari/soy sauce
1 tsp sugar
juice of one lime
juice of one orange
1/4 cup cilantro leaves
Put all of the sauce ingredients into your blender, and blend until cilantro is chopped finely.
Saute all veggies in a pan with a little peanut oil. When veggies are warmed through, and have a little color, mix in the noodles and the sauce. As soon as all ingredients are mixed, remove the mixture from the pan so the sauce doesn't stick and burn.
Serve individual lettuce leaves beside the bowl of veggie filling. Garnish with chopped peanuts.
Delish!
