Lettuce Wraps

May 09, 2023

By Esther Boateng

Wrap your chops around these little beauties and enjoy a light lunch or appetizer; mix and match your lettuce wrap filling to suit even the pickiest eater in your family. Go all out with your favorite toppings or keep it simple with a few choice ingredients: fire-roasted red peppers, soaked sundried tomatoes, artichokes, pickled onions, whatever you fancy. Add your ingredients of choice to your veggie medley mix and blend in your favorite protein, such as sliced grilled lamb chops or chicken, to make a meal of it.

Garnish your wrap with a dash of mashed avocado or homemade guacamole if you have time; hummus seasoned with a pinch of oregano also goes down nicely. Crushed sprouted almond nuts scattered over your wraps add extra crunch, and compliment the red cabbage, radish, and red onions. And if you fancy it, why not garnish your wraps with a slightly tangy but spicy garlic dressing for extra flavor. Bon appetit.

Makes approximately 10-12 lettuce wraps

Recipe Note

Use as much or as little filling as you need and store any leftovers in the fridge for the next day. The red peppers and artichoke hearts are slightly salty, so I chose to skip additional salt. The dressing also contains salt but feel free to season accordingly.
