Thai Lettuce Wraps from Brittany:

1/2 c. coconut

1 T. oil

1/2 c. shallots chopped

1/8 to 1/4 c. fresh ginger

2 T. chopped garlic

1 lb. ground pork (I use 1/2 ground turkey and 1/2 ground sausage)

juice of one lime (I used about 1/2 of the lime for juice)

3 to 4 T. diced green chiles

2 to 3 T. soy sauce

peanuts

Stir coconut over medium heat until golden and crisp. Remove and set aside. Add oil to pan and place over medium heat. Add shallots, ginger, garlic and meat. Stir until no longer pink. Add lime juice, peanuts, coconut, chiles and soy sauce to taste. Can also add fresh mint.
