4.15  LETTUCE WRAPS



        Would serve 4 with other things  This is worth the fiddle



-1 large head of lettuce



- 1 lb lean ground beef/bison/chicken/turkey



- 1 tbs Mazola (for very dry meat)



- 1 tsp each minced fresh ginger, minced garlic



- 1/4 C water



- 2 biggish shots Worchestershire Sauce



- 1/2 tsp each ground cumin, salt



- 1/4  tsp fresh ground black pepper



- 1 each small red & green peppers, a carrot & small onion: very fine dice



- 1/2 pkg steam-fried noodles



- hoisin sauce



Ø      Cut the core from lettuce.  Plunge up and down in a sink of cold water to separate the leaves.  Spin dry or dry on paper/tea towels.  Chill in refrigerator.  Maybe 10 useful leaves per head, for main course, plan 3-5 wraps per person.



Ø      Start frying the meat with the ginger and garlic (5+ minutes).  Add peppers, carrot and onion (5+ minutes).  Add water, cumin, Worchestershire, salt & pepper.  Stir well   Float a sheet of aluminum foil over meat mixture to help cook the carrot (5+ minutes).  When the water is almost gone, layer the noodles on the meat and replace the foil (5+ minutes)   Mix together and serve in a large bowl with a side bowl of hoisin sauce.



Ø      Smear hoisin inside a lettuce leaf, add several spoonfuls of meat mixture, roll up to eat.

You're most welcome.
I cook the noodles in a pot according to pkg directions.
Lots of prep work to dice things up. I like lots of cumin.
I was given a big Porche 301 kitchen knife, razorblade sharp.
Easy to add a fingertip to this.
I have come to prefer Romaine lettuce: More useful leaves in the needed shape!
I made a 3X batch to divide up and freeze in meal-size slabs.
Better get to it.

Two feeds for me and 8 meals went into the freezer.
I actually pay attention to how much I eat, also for tacos and chili.
Use a kitchen scale to get the grub divided up without being disappointed.
