Asian Lettuce Cups

I LOVE to order these at PF Changs!! Here's how to make 'em at home (thanks to Campbell's Kitchen):
(serves 4)

1 lb. ground turkey, chicken, pork, or beef
1 med. organic* carrot, peeled and shredded (about 1/2 cup)
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 (1") piece of fresh ginger root, peeled and minced (you can use ground, but fresh is WAY
     better!*)
1/-4*-1/2 t. crushed red pepper
1 cup Swanson Chinese Hot and Sour Flavor Infused Broth
2 T. cornstarch
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1 T. freshly* squeezed lime juice
8 large leaves Boston, Bibb, or Butter* lettuce
2 green onions, thinly sliced (about 1/4 cup)
1/4 cup chopped dry roasted* peanuts

Cook your meat of choice in a 12" nonstick skillet over med.-high heat until well browned, stirring often to separate and crumble. Pour off any fat. Add the garlic, ginger, and red pepper, and cook and stir for 1 min. Add 1/2 cup of the broth and heat to a boil. Stir the remaining broth and the cornstarch in a small bowl until the mixture is smooth. Add the cornstarch mixture to the skillet. Cook and stir for 2 mins. or until the mixture boils and thickens. Stir in the cilantro and lime juice just before serving. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the meat mixture into each lettuce leaf. Sprinkle with green onions and peanuts. Fold lettuce over filling to make a cup and enjoy!

Count your blessings out loud today, and be thankful!!

Love,

MM
