I'm running out of ideas for lettuce wraps!

[ohiosmith]

Make them with ground turkey. So far I've made Asian, Thai, taco, and Buffalo wing flavored. Tonight will be chili con carne.

1. I think this should have been posted in Latest Breaking News.

I'm sorry, but I am going to have to alert The DU Lounge Hosts.

[ohiosmith]

4. Food for thought!

[Mac1949]

2. Maybe instead of ground turkey, try tuna? nt.

[ohiosmith]

5. Great idea!

[Xyzse]

3. How about...

Placing cubed pork in garlic, salt, pepper with 3/4 parts vinegar 1/4 parts water in a pressure cooker for a good 20 minutes.

Then, use the liquid from that pressure cooker to fry the pork with a little bit of soy sauce.
Add corn peppers and a laurel leaf.

Since it is soft it would pull apart and split if you want.
...

Then, you can make a combination of chopped:

Tomatoes
Onions
Radish
Maybe even mango
Maybe place cilantro
Vinegar to bind them together.

In a bowl for a compliment.

8. YES!

9. Try cabbage with Reuben sandwich fixins.

Get some corned beef, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, and 1000 Island and put on a cabbage leaf in the oven.

10. Oh man! Outstanding!

11. PB&J - use a pepper jelly, like raspberry/chipotle.

That would be a pretty refreshing lunch.
Just a thought.

12. Outstanding!

13. try a tortilla

[ohiosmith]

16. Trying to keep it low carb.

23. corn is better than wheat flour

but ok wrap some good food in a limp lettuce leaf if you must

(stuffed cabbage and grape leaves (cooked, not raw) are good - you can stuff squash/zuchini and all kinds of peppers too)

[yawnmaster]

26. one important feature of lettuce wraps are to use nice crisp lettuce.

limp not so good...doesn't handle well.

[ohiosmith]

34. Limp is not good!

[ohiosmith]

27. Good ideas!

"limp"! Is that a shot?

[geardaddy]

14. How about Chicken Tikka?

[ohiosmith]

17. Cool!

[Taverner]

15. Rice and Clam Chowder

Trust me, it ain't half bad

[ohiosmith]

18. Interesting!

[geardaddy]

19. Are you using lettuce to avoid carbs?

[ohiosmith]

20. Yes!

[geardaddy]

24. Or are you avoiding crabs.

[ohiosmith]

31. I never sit on strange toilet seats.

[Denninmi]

21. How about a Thai style vegetarian one similar to raw spring rolls.

Various vegetables cut fine, such as carrot, pepper, water chestnut, etc., and a Thai peanut or chili sauce?

You could also add seafood or meat if you wished.

[ohiosmith]

22. Good one!

[marzipanni]

35. I want to try making these rice paper rolls

If you have a source for Asian rice paper, rice noodles, and rice vinegar, & red chili pepper, fish sauce for the sauce.

[ohiosmith]

36. Awesome!

[geardaddy]

25. How about seafood louie.

3 oz. imitation crabmeat, cut up
1/4 c. finely chopped green onions
1/4 c. finely chopped celery
2 tbsp. reduced calorie mayonnaise
1 tbsp. ketchup
1 1/2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 tsp. red wine vinegar
1 1/2 tsp. lemon juice
Dash white pepper
Salad greens & vegetables

[ohiosmith]

28. Used to be my favorite salad. Thanks for the reminder.

[yawnmaster]

29. Ground lamb, rice, some onion, garlic and olive oil...

I think would be a good way to go.

[ohiosmith]

32. Sounds so good!

[GoCubsGo]

30. Lentils.

You can spice them up however you like, and add whatever kinds of chopped veggies, herbs and nuts that you like. They go great with all sorts of sauces, too. A nice sweet & sour sauce comes to mind, although I prefer them Mediterranean-style with chopped red peppers, olives, olive oil, garlic and herbs, ad maybe a little red wine vinegar. Loads of lentil lettuce wrap recipes with a simple Google search. Here's one to get you started:

[Incitatus]

37. How about a Philly lettuce wrap?

Hot sliced roast beef with melted cheese and mushrooms/onions on some crisp lettuce

[ohiosmith]

38. Absolutely!

[mykpart]

39. Beef and/or chicken fajitas?

[ohiosmith]
