Lettuce Wraps

• Ingredients:
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 pound ground pork or chicken
• Pepper
• 1/4 pound mushrooms, chopped or thinly sliced
• 4 cloves garlic, chopped
• 1 1 1/2-inch piece of fresh ginger root, cut into thin matchsticks or finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
• 1/2 cup chicken stock
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• A few dashes of hot pepper sauce, optional
• 1 small head iceberg lettuce, core removed and head quartered

Directions:

1. In a large skillet, heat the oil, two turns of the pan, over high heat. Add the pork and cook until browned, about 5 minutes; season with pepper. 

2. Add the mushrooms, garlic and ginger; toss for 2 minutes. Push the ingredients to the side of the pan and add the peanut butter to the center to melt. Whisk in the stock, soy sauce, and hot sauce, if using.

3. Spoon the mixture into a serving bowl or individual bowls. Serve the lettuce wedges alongside. 

4. Scoop the mixture into lettuce leaves to wrap up as you eat. Serve with rice if wanted.
