Lamb Lettuce Wraps

I haven't posted any recipes for a few days but that doesn't mean that I haven't been cooking away with the veggies from our box.

I borrowed this one from another blogger, A Good Appetite, the Minneapolis couple who love to eat. Their comment about the recipe, "The seasoning of the lamb was very flavorful & slightly middle eastern. I really enjoyed the texture of the almonds & the saltiness of the olives. The warm filling was really nice against the cool crispness of the lettuce though you could easily serve it in a pita or on top of some couscous or rice." I agree that its delicious and quick to prepare.

Lamb Lettuce Wraps

1 T olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 lb ground lamb
1 t cumin
1/2 t coriander
1/2 t black pepper
1/2 t turmeric
1/2 c chopped green olives
1/4 c tomato paste
1/4 c sliced almonds
large romaine lettuce leaves, washed & dried

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion & sauté until just tender. Add lamb & cook until brown. Stir in cumin, coriander, pepper, turmeric, olives and tomato paste. Cook for 1 -2 minutes to blend flavors. Stir in almonds. Scoop a little into the middle of each lettuce leaf, wrap & serve.

I served Arthur's meat on a bed of chopped lettuce because he's not big into food being wrapped or that may not stay together.
