Lettuce Boats

Our fam (especially the kids) love these Lettuce Boats. They are quick, fun, and versatile - you can put whatever toppings you like in it! This is what we usually have (feel free to omit the meat/eggs if you are plant-based only; you'll still get sufficient protein with the noodles, hummus & sesame seeds).

• 500g beef mince
• 8 eggs
• 250g rice noodles
• 8 x iceberg lettuce leaves
• ¼ cucumber, diced
• 4 radishes, sliced
• 1 celery stick, sliced
• ¼ capsicum, sliced
• Hummus
• Sauerkraut
• Sesame seeds

• Cook the beef mince in a frypan with some coconut oil.
• Add salt & pepper to taste.
• Set aside the meat, and scramble up the eggs in a frypan.
• Meanwhile, boil the rice noodles in a pot of water until cooked through.
• Cut up all your vegetables and place on a platter, ready to use to assemble the lettuce boats.
• To assemble the lettuce boat, grab a lettuce leaf, and place inside the leaf some rice noodles, meat, eggs, sliced vegetables, and top with a blob of hummus and sauerkraut.
• Sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
• Make sure you don't put too much food in the lettuce leaf, or it will all topple out.
• Fold the lettuce leaf like a boat, and munch that crunch!
