Ingredients
- 2 limes, juiced (about 1⁄4 cup)
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons chili paste, such as sambal oelek. Sambals are potent Indonesian condiments packed with chiles. There are different kinds, but the slightly tangy sambal oelek is a blend of hot red chiles, salt, vinegar or tamarind, and sometimes garlic. Other Asian chile pastes are suitable substitutes.
- 2 teaspoons fish sauce
- 2 cups roasted peanuts or cashews, roughly chopped. It is important to chop the nuts by hand—not in a food processor. Machine-chopped nuts will be overworked and pasty. The dish is so much better when the nuts have a distinct texture.
- 2/3 cup roughly chopped fresh cilantro (leaves and stems)
- 12 Bibb lettuce leaves (about 1 head)
- Half a medium fresh pineapple, peeled, cored, and cut into bite-size chunks (about 3 cups)
- Kosher salt
Directions
- Whisk the lime juice, sugar, chile paste, and fish sauce in a bowl until the sugar dissolves. Add the peanuts and cilantro and stir until evenly dressed with the sauce.
- When ready to serve, arrange the lettuce leaves on a large platter.
- Put about 1⁄4 cup of pineapple in each leaf and season with salt to taste.
- Top the pineapple with the nut mixture.
- Serve, letting your guests wrap (or fold) each lettuce leaf to enclose the filling.

Wow - Jena brought these to a party this past weekend and I was fortunate to have an opportunity to give them a try. I give them the conservative rating of SUPER DUPER FABULOUS ;-)
The version that she brought had a vegetarian-friendly fish sauce substitute - and cashews rather than peanuts. I'm sure the alternate version would also be splendid. Thanks Jena!
