Chicken Cashew Lettuce Wraps and Sesame Stir-Fried Asparagus

We have a plethora of butter lettuce from the CSA right now- I was a little overzealous when putting in my order the past couple weeks. We're sorta between seasons right now, so the variety of veggies available from the CSA is minimal, but I know it'll boom soon and give us a ton of spring vegetables... in the meantime, we're trying to find lots of uses for the greenhouse grown butter/Boston lettuce we're getting.

Lettuce wraps it is! I've made lettuce wraps once before, back in the early days of the blog, and we liked them. This time I tried a stir-fried chicken and cashew filling- tasty!

Served with simple sesame stir fried asparagus and white rice.

Asian Lettuce Wraps and Coconut Lime Rice

Mmm... these were really good: pork lettuce wraps with grapefruit. I used a recipe that caught my eye in my Food Network Magazine, although I used ground turkey thighs rather than the ground pork because that was all I could find on the way home from work. The Bibb lettuce and the scallions are from the CSA. I would definitely make these again!

The coconut lime rice was somewhat of a disappointment... not as flavorful as I hoped, and the rice didn't get quite cooked all the way for some reason. Oh well. I'll try a different recipe next time, perhaps. And I'll try the coconut popsicles from the magazine, too!
