Cauliflower Rice Lettuce Cups with Sriracha Peanut Sauce
Veggie-packed lettuce wrapped made with cauliflower rice, seasoned with soy sauce and lime juice, and drizzled with a thick and spicy peanut sauce.
YIELD: 4-6 servings PREP TIME: 10 minutes COOK TIME: 15 minutes TOTAL TIME: 25 minutes
Ingredients:
Cauliflower Rice Lettuce Cups
1 tablespoon coconut oil
2 cloves garlic, mined
5 green onions, sliced
2 small red bell peppers, finely diced
2 small green bell peppers, finely diced
5 ounces shiitake mushrooms, chopped
2 large carrots, shredded (about 2 cups)
1 lime, juiced
2 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce or tamari
1/2-3/4 teaspoon salt
1 head cauliflower, shredded
Iceberg of Bibb Lettuce, for serving
Cilantro and chopped peanuts, for topping
Sriracha Peanut Sauce
1/2 cup natural salted peanut butter
1 cup light coconut milk
3 tablespoons agave nectar
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 tablespoon brown rice vinegar
1 tablespoon sriracha
Directions:
Melt the coconut oil in a large nonstick skillet. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds, then add the onions and cook for 3-4 minutes. Stir in the peppers, mushrooms, and carrots, and squeeze on the lime, soy sauce, and half the salt. Cook, stirring frequently, for 7 minutes.
Pour in the shredded cauliflower and remaining salt (to taste), and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
For the sauce: Combine all sauce ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, and boil for 3-5 minutes, until thickened.
Serve the cauliflower mixture in iceberg or bibb lettuce cups, and drizzle on peanut sauce.
I shredded my cauliflower in a food processor, which made it super quick and easy, but you can use a cheese grater if you don’t have a food processor that shreds.
Nutrition information is a rough estimate for 1/6th of the recipe with sauce. Lettuce is not included in the nutrition information, since the number of leaves will vary. Also, it’s just lettuce.
