Thai Meatball Lettuce Cups With Spicy Sweet Peanut Sauce
for dinner this evening. I'd bought Boston Lettuce but used it all up in salads and was in a small grocery store yesterday but they didn't have it so I bought Leaf lettuce instead. So mine don't look anywhere near as pretty as Luisa's but oh my they were delicious!

I just bought ground pork and ground chicken. I ended up with 39 meatballs. We ate 9 for dinner and I froze the remaining 30 to serve up for lunch when we have visitors later on this month.

I wasn't sure how much rice wine vinegar to add to the sauce so I added 1 tbsp. I added 1 tsp. of sugar, I subbed Sriracha for the garlic chili paste, and I used about 3/4 cup of hot water., I ended up warming it up in a saucepan on the stove as I do that with the peanut sauce that I usually make. I find it just helps all the ingredients meld better.

I cut my cucumber in to sticks and afterwards see that Luisa does hers in slices. The mint and cilantro are lovely. I used up some pickled carrots I had in the fridge.

This was fun to make. I'll totally make them again. Thanks Luisa for a great recipe.

They look fantastic! Great pictures Janet! I'm lazy and would probably make them "loose" and just spoon the meat mix into a lettuce cup and top with the fixings but balls would be much better especially if serving guests.

I can't wait to make this one!! I may make it with almond butter instead of peanut butter though, if that's not breaking the rules too much lol. Delicious photos Janet!!

I like the meatballs Linda because they`re neater when you eat them. :) If I just had the meat loose it`d be all over my shirt for sure! :) You know Michelle, I don`t think I`ve ever tried almond butter but I`m sure it would work just fine. Thanks guys!

Hi, Chuckieb! I missed this the other day. Those look delicious! Nice photos. I really like Luisa's recipes. There is always something refreshing about her recipes. Using a meatball is a cleaver idea. Much easier to eat and handle.
