Larb (Thai Spicy Minced Pork) In Lettuce Cups

Posted January 14, 2012 By Janice Larb

I was thinking Thai food the other night when I made my tofu dish.  So this is what I came up with.  I had leftover ground pork and remembered getting this dish at the Thai restaurant that closed not so long ago.  Darn, that was a great place!  Anyway, the citrus, fresh herbs and spicy chili garlic paste is wonderful.  And it literally takes about 10 minutes to the table once you prepare all your ingredients.  Have a great weekend!!

LARB (THAI SPICY MINCED PORK) IN LETTUCE CUPS

1 lb ground extra lean pork
1/2 small onion, finely chopped, plus more for garnish
1 serrano chili, seeded and chopped, plus more for garnish
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
1/4 cup mint leaves, chopped
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1/4-1 t red pepper flakes (depending on how spicy you like your food)
juice of 2 limes
2 green onions, chopped, plus more for garnish
2 t low sodium soy sauce
1 T fish sauce
Iceburg lettuce cups

Pour 1/4 of the lime juice over the pork and let marinate while you get the rest of your ingredients together.  Brown pork and half the chopped onion in a large skillet until cooked, about 5 minutes.  Remove from heat.  Combine the rest of the ingredients together in with the pork and pour into a large serving platter.  Serve with lettuce cups on Protein Vegetable days, with extra chopped onions and chili.

Spicy Chicken Thighs and Greens

Posted January 8, 2012 By Janice Spicy Chicken Thighs with Greens

Another wonderful delivery from farmfreshtoyou.com brought me these beautiful collard greens.  I was expecting bitter greens, and instead, I tasted sweet, tender greens.  With the beautiful leeks they also delivered, I came up with this delicious dish.  I hope you all enjoy.

SPICY CHICKEN THIGHS AND GREENS

2 chicken breasts or thighs
2 leeks, whites only, sliced
2 slices of turkey bacon
1 bunch of greens, chopped
2 T sherry
2 t soy sauce
1 t chili paste (or to taste)

Add the chicken to a warmed skillet.  Brown each side for 5 minutes and remove from skillet.  Add bacon to the skillet and leeks.  Cook for 8 minutes or until leeks are soft.  Add sherry and cook for another 3 minutes.  Add soy sauce and greens.  Cook until greens are soft.  Depending on what kind of greens you make, this could take anywhere between 5 and 15 minutes.  Add chili paste, to taste, once the greens have wilted.  After the greens are nearly cooked, add the chicken back to the pan, cook another 5 minutes or until fully cooked.  Serve chicken with the greens.

Serves 2
