Asian Veggie Wrap with peanut sauce...

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone.

 

I found this recipe while I was visiting my hometown, Louisville, Ky.

 

I love it that I finally found a peanut dressing recipe.

 

P.S. I make my own peanut butter in the food processor with a couple

drops of oil...or you can buy fresh from health food store (or even

kroger) if you are worried about veg friendly ingredients.

 

Enjoy!

Asian Veggie Wraps

Dressing:

1 tbsp sugar

3 tbsp rice wine vinegar

1 tbsp peanut butter (fresh)

1/2 tsp. salt

crushed red pepper flakes to taste

1/2 tsp. minced garlic (1 clove)

Wraps:

salt and pepper

1 cucumber, peeled and thinly sliced

4 cups boston lettuce or field greens

4 green onions

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

8 8-10 inch flour tortillas

Combine all dressing ingredients. Sprinkle cucumbers with salt and

pepper. tear the lettuce. Trim the onions. Slice the onions on the

diagonal. If you have a gas stove, wave the tortilla over flame on

both sides to soften, stacking totillas as you go. If you do not

have a gas stove, put a skillet over the burner set on medium high.

Heat a tortilla in the ungreased skillet, flipping as it softens.

Set aside and repeat with remaining tortillas, stcking as you go.

Put a little peanut dresssing in the middle of the tortilla, and

spread it around, leaving inch margin from the sides. Spread some

lettuce on tortilla, then a few onion slices, some cilantro, amd

some cucumber slices.

Fold the bottom of the tortilla up over the filling, fold the sides

in an inch or two, then roll up the tortilla to enclose the filling,

pushing and prodding to keep the lettuce and other filling

ingredients inside. If you are not serving the wraps immediately,

wrap in plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate.
