MOROCCAN LAMB LETTUCE WRAPS
I am a huge fan of both Moroccan lamb and lettuce wraps. This combination—with the creamy and crunchy cucumber—makes a tasty slow-cooked dish. The wine and chili powder add extra flavor elements to the sauce mixture, too. —Arlene Erlbach, Morton Grove, Illinois

Steps:
- Make the kimchi purée first. For the most authentic - and spiciest - taste, purchase the kimchi at an Asian market. Put the kimchi, sesame oil and chili flakes into a blender or food processor, and pulse until a rough purée is formed. Set aside until ready to use. Combine all the ingredients for the kalbi marinade (from soy sauce down through the red pepper flakes), and set aside. For the lamb shoulder, slice into thin strips and pour the marinade over the meat. Massage it in, and leave the meat in the refrigerator for about 2 hours. Heat a cast-iron pan to high. Pan-fry the meat in small batches, and hold warm. To build the lettuce wraps, start with a large piece of Boston lettuce. Place grilled lamb kalbi on the lettuce leaf, and spoon a bit of the kimchi purée over the lamb. Top with a little cilantro and a slice of fresh jalapeno, and eat immediately.

Remove, drain on kitchen paper and set aside.
- For the stir-fry, mix together the orange juice, runny honey and light soy sauce.
- Heat a wok over high heat, add the groundnut oil and garlic and fry for a few seconds to release the aroma. Add the courgettes and peppers and cook stirring constantly for a few seconds. Then add the cashew nuts, and the orange soy honey mixture. Give it one final stir take it off the heat.
- To serve, remove the lettuce cups from the fridge, place onto a serving plate. Spoon the stir-fried vegetables into each parcel (holding back any liquid), top with the crispy Mongolian lamb pieces and dress with kumquat slices, edible flowers if using and coriander leaves.
SPICY PORK LETTUCE WRAPS
These lettuce cups filled with spicy ground pork take inspiration from Larb. Found in several Southeast Asian countries, Larb usually features seasoned ground meat served with sticky rice or lettuce cups, topped with fresh vegetables and herbs. Toasted rice powder is typically mixed into the seasoning for some crunch and to help thicken the dressing. Katie opts for ground peanuts instead to achieve a similar texture and nutty flavor. These can also be made with ground chicken, duck, turkey, or crumbled tofu in place of the ground pork. Fresh and flavorful, these lettuce cups are super easy to make at home any night of the week.

Steps:
- For the scallion and carrot relish: Toss the soy sauce, ginger, sesame oil, carrots, scallions and lime juice in a medium bowl. Set aside in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
- For the pork: Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil, and once hot, the pork. Cook the pork, breaking it up with the back of your spoon until it browns and is no longer pink, 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in the red pepper flakes, salt, garlic, ginger and shallots. Cook until they are aromatic and incorporated, another minute. Add the hoisin and stir to combine, then add the soy sauce. Cook until the pork is sticky and glazed, about 3 minutes. Transfer the pork to a serving bowl.
- Serve the pork with the lettuce leaves, some scallion and carrot relish, cilantro leaves, mint leaves, peanuts and sriracha, letting everyone build their own wraps with all the fixings.

Delicious and bursting with flavor, Asian lettuce wraps are a great idea for entertaining or a family style meal. Each person can build their own fresh, delicious wrap. Just be sure to have plates or napkins available since the mixture can sometimes drip a little. To serve, allow each person to spoon a portion of the meat into a lettuce leaf. Wrap the lettuce around the meat like a burrito and enjoy!

- In a large heavy skillet, heat the oil over high flame. Brown the lamb, breaking it apart with your spatula into small pieces, until the fat is rendered and the meat has begun to develop a crust, 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Push the lamb to the sides of the pan and add half of the onion, garlic and ras el hanout to the center. Cook, eventually stirring the lamb and veggies together, until the onion is soft, another 3 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the salt, harissa and lemon juice. Taste for seasoning and add more salt, acid or heat as necessary.
- Make the aioli: In a small mixing bowl or food processor whisk or pulse the egg yolk, lemon juice, and garlic until smooth. Working slowly, add 1 teaspoon of the olive oil and whisk or pulse until incorporated. Repeat with 3 additional teaspoons. Once the oil is taking, slowly drizzle in the remaining olive oil. Once the mixture is thick, add the mint leaves and season with the salt.
- To serve, arrange the lettuce cups on a platter and divide the lamb mixture between them. Garnish with the radishes, remaining red onion, and mint leaves, and serve alongside the lemon-mint aioli.
