My Latest Craze

My latest craze has been using walnuts as the star ingredient in main dishes. I first started using them in marinara sauce with shirataki spaghetti noodles. Then, I added them to Vegan Zucchini Lasagna with Tofu Ricotta and Walnut Sauce.

I really like the crunch they add to a dish. They are are also healthy and filling.

Pantry Staples

You will hear me say this often, but I love to look into my pantry and see what I can make without venturing out into the world to buy groceries. That’s how this recipe came about.

I knew that I wanted to make an Asian inspired recipe using walnuts because I am always stocked up on Asian ingredients: brown rice vinegar, tamari, and sesame oil. I keep ginger in my freezer, to use whenever I need it, and I always have maple syrup in the fridge.

I was gifted with a cucumber this week, and I had lettuce in the fridge, and carrots in the freezer, so I knew what had to be done: Asian lettuce wraps.

Sweet and Savory

These fresh healthy lettuce wraps are sweet and savory. They are extremely easy to make, and are ready in minutes. Although, I would try to be patient because the longer the mixture marinates, the stronger the flavor.

Carrots add a sweet flavor. I added a little maple syrup for a sweet flavor as well. Ginger adds a touch of spice, which goes well with the nutty flavors of the walnuts, hemp seeds and sesame oil.

  2. Oh my word, these look AMAZING! Just what I need right now, too, as I’m currently eating very little meat to decrease inflammation in my body (blood type diet). The only thing I don’t have on hand is the hemp seeds, but I’m going to the natural food store this afternoon anyway…
