Sausage Lettuce Wraps and Peanut Dipping Sauce

This was a nice, refreshing dinner for a change of pace from our regular dishes. You can adjust all of the ingredients according to what you have or flavors you enjoy. I would have made it more spicy, if the kids weren't going to be eating it.

 

Sausage Lettuce Wraps and Peanut Dipping Sauce

Ingredients:

2 lbs sausage

1 onion, diced

Spices: Cumin, garlic salt, chili powder

2 stalks Celery, chopped

2 cloves of Garlic

3/4 cup Green Onions

2 tbsp Lime juice

1 cup Soy Sauce

2 tsp Pepper Sauce

Lettuce Leaves

 

Directions:

Cook sausage with diced onion until browned, adding in spices according to taste.

Add in celery and garlic and cook until softened.

Stir in lime juice, pepper sauce, and soy sauce and simmer about 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, rinse and prepare lettuce leaves and prepare peanut sauce, if using.

When finished cooking, top with green onions and serve over lettuce leaves. You can also mix in rice like I did.
