Vegetarian Vegetable Lettuce Wraps with Spicy Peanut Sauce ( Keto) ~~~***~~~ Vegetarische Gemüse Salat Wraps mit scharfer Thai Erdnusssauce ( Keto)
Hello
nice of you to stop by again :-)... Starting from July 1st my son decided to go vegetarian for 4 weeks as a start.... in order to feed him and help him with his new diet I googled a lot of vegetarian blogs, looked recipes online and got a few magazines - what a great excuse to buy more cookbooks :-)
Yesterday morning I found this recipe from cooking light and lucky me had most of the ingredients in my pantry... I cooked the sauce, the rice and prepared the veggies... served it like on the picture.... my son like the whole composition very much but I would eat it without the lettuce next time... with this recipe, it didn't really thrill me... other than that the veggies are so yummy and who can resist a peanut sauce :-)
Enjoy this vegetarian dish and if you can't help it add fried chicken or beef.
