PORK LETTUCE WRAPS WITH PEACH SALSA

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup cubed peeled peaches
  • 1/4 cup sliced green onion
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1/2 tsp sesame oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 lb (0.5 kg) pork tenderloin, cut into thin strips
  • 1 tbsp canola oil
  • Butter lettuce leaves
  • Peach Salsa*

Directions

  1. To prepare sauce, place peaches, green onion, lime juice, soy sauce, sesame oil and salt in a mini food processor; process until smooth. Pour sauce into a heavy zip-lock plastic bag. Add pork and squeeze bag to coat pork with sauce; seal bag and let stand for 30 minutes.
  2. Heat canola oil in a large non-stick frypan over medium heat. Add pork and sauce. Cook, stirring, until pork is completely cooked and sauce is reduced, thickened and heated through, about 6 minutes.
  3. To serve, place about 1/4 cup pork mixture in centre of individual lettuce leaves. Top with Peach Salsa. Wrap leaves around filling to enclose.
