Moroccan Beef Lettuce Wraps



This came from yet another Weight Watcher Magazine recipe (the WWM September/October 2009 issue).

"1 eggplant, diced
1large onion, diced
3 garlic cloves chopped
6 dried apricots, chopped
3/4 lb. ground lean beef or ground lamb
1 (14 1/2-oz.) can diced fire roasted tomatoes with garlic
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1/2 tsp. ground coriander
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1/4 tsp. curry powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp cinnamon
12 large Boston lettuce leaves"

So to paraphrase first saute the first 4 ingredients about 3 min then add the beef and let brown. After the beef is browned you can add the rest of the ingredients and let simmer for about 4 min. I wouldn't make a lot of adjustments to this recipe, it was very tasty. I think ground turkey would taste just as good or better because it has kind of a sweet taste to it. Also we added a bit more cinnamon and I liked that, and the last thing is we used iceberg lettuce not sure what Boston lettuce leaves are?

  1. You should come up with some kind of rating system so we know which recipes are good and which ones are REALLY good. But I guess you won't blog about it if you don't like it, right? I'll bet Justin is loving all this yummy food!
