1.5 teaspoons grated lemon peel
1/3 cup fresh lime juice
1.5 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1.5 tablespoons fish sauce
3 teaspoons brown sugar
1 -2 teaspoons finely chopped serrano
1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
coconut oil
16 oz ground chicken
1 chopped shalllot
handful chopped mint
Toppings:
lettuce leaves
chopped peanuts
cilantro
dried shrimp
toasted coconut
chopped ginger
thinly sliced and diced lime
Whisk together first 8. Set aside. Brown the ground chicken and shallot in a bit of coconut oil. Dump on the sauce and mint. Stir it up and let it meld while preparing the toppings.
Spoon the chicken mixture onto a lettuce leaf and pile high with fixin's. Shove in mouth. Lick the juice that runs down your arm. Sigh with contentment. My kids couldn't get enough of these. I even videoed it. Except, I didn't. There was a mishap and I ended up with an eight minute audio of our dinner conversation. I talk insanely fast. If I hadn't known what I'd said...I'd never have understood. Please make these. With all the fixin's. Especially the shrimp. My kid eats them for snack...plain. Honest. Oh, and use bottled lemon/lime juice and I'll hunt you down and slap your face.
