Lettuce Wraps

We've had a bunch of Lettuce from our CSA this first two weeks.  Here's another fabulous thing we've done with our lettuce!

Lettuce Wraps

Lettuce- you wanna use the big leafs
1lb of ground meat.  We've used ground pork and grass fed ground beef from our local farm.
2 carrots grated
1 zucchini grated
1 tomato chopped

1 Tablespoon of coconut oil or other fat to cook meat in
1 Tablespoon of Tamari
1 Tablespoon of sesame oil

pepper to taste
hot sauce for afterwards :)

Just cook up the ground meat in the coconut oil or other chosen fat.  Add zucchini, carrot and tomato half way through.  You could also choose any veggies to add the first time we did pepper instead of tomato.  Then when it's almost cooked add tamari, pepper and sesame oil and finish cooking.

Then you take your lettuce leafs and use them as wraps for the meat!  Then add your favorite hot sauce!

Lots of Lettuce Salad

We have an abundance of lettuce around here since we've started our CSA.

We have two shares so that means we've received 8, yes 8, HEADS of lettuce.  The first week we had lettuce wraps a couple times and LOTS of salad.  This week we got a recipe from the farmers.  I modified it a little.  It was wilted lettuce salad.  I used yams instead of potatoes.  But, before that recipe I didn't know you could wilt lettuce.  So today I tried something out.  This is my recipe called extra lettuce veggie salad.

2 Tablespoons of coconut oil
1/2-1 head of lettuce chopped up

1 large zucchini chopped up

1/2 head of cabbage chopped up

1 sweet onion diced

1 teaspoon (or so) of Paprika
1 teaspoon (or so) of garlic powder
salt
pepper
a few swirls of balsamic vinegar


heat pan on medium heat add coconut oil, zucchini, onion, and cabbage.  Then add spices while stirring.  After veggies have gotten soft add lettuce to wilt.  Once it's almost wilted add balsamic vinegar.  And that's it!  It's so yummy!
