Sausages are a great way to get a flavorful meal on the table faster then you can say sauseech. Spiced lamb merguez sausages get topped with tender pickled cabbage and a smooth tahini dressing. For a special wrap we used Hot Bread Kitchen’s hand stretched M’smen, a flaky Moroccan flatbread. Warmed up a little, it has a delicious buttery flavor. Cook, relax, and enjoy!

Sesame Beef Lettuce Wraps with Rice

These lettuce cups are an explosion of flavor thanks to a rich marinade made with sesame, tamari, honey, and ginger. Sirloin filets are just the right kind of tender so you can easily bite into the cups. Warm short-grain rice will soak up the extra sauce. Don’t be afraid to use your fingers and get messy when assembling these. Cook, relax, and enjoy!

Crisp lettuce wraps are the perfect foil for big, bold flavors. We use tender, flaky, quick-cooking fish for the filling, and amp it up with a curry spice blend. The nuoc cham sauce—fish sauce, lime juice, sugar, water, and chili garlic sauce—is ideal for dipping or drizzling. Pile on peanuts, cilantro, and fried shallots at the table for an interactive meal that lets everyone choose their flavors. Cook, relax, and enjoy!
