- Thai Burritos
- -------------
-
- Peanut Sauce:
-
- 1/4 cup minced onion
- 2 Tbsp. minced shallot
- 2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
- 1/4 tsp. minced garlic
- 1/4 tsp. chili pepper flakes
- 1/2 cup canned coconut milk
- 1/2 cup chunky peanut butter
- 1/4 cup low-fat milk
- 1-1/2 small bay leaves
- 1-1/2 Tbsp. dark brown sugar
- 2 tsp. fresh lemon juice
- 2 tsp. fresh lime juice
-
- Saute the minced onion and shallot in the vegetable oil
- for a few minutes. Do not brown. Stir in all the other
- ingredients and simmer for about 30 minutes to make a
- paste. Cool, then refrigerate until ready to use. Mix
- thoroughly before using. Makes about 1-1/4 cups.
-
- Dipping Sauce:
-
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup red wine vinegar
- 1-1/2 Tbsp. fish sauce
- 1 tsp. red pepper flakes
- 1/2 cup shredded carrots
- 2 Tbsp. shredded radish
- 1/4 cup unsalted roasted peanuts, chopped
-
- Bring the sugar, water and vinegar to a boil. Stir in
- the fish sauce and pepper flakes. Place the carrots,
- radish and peanuts in a small bowl and pour the hot
- liquid over. When cool, cover and refrigerate. Before
- using, bring to room temperature or warm slightly. (Do
- not cook, however; that ruins the vegetables' texture.)
- Makes about 1 cup.
-
- Burritos:
-
- 1/2 cup coarsely grated carrot
- 3 cups shredded green cabbage
- 1-1/2 tsp. rice wine vinegar
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. black pepper
- 2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
-
- 1 tsp. sesame oil
- 1 Tbsp. minced garlic
- 1 Tbsp. minced fresh ginger
- 2 pinches chili pepper flakes
- 1 lb. peeled, uncooked shrimp, cut into lg. chunks
- 2 tsp. fish sauce *
- 1/8 tsp. black pepper
- 1 cup mushrooms coarsely chopped in strips
- 1/4 cup canned coconut milk *
- 8 large flour tortillas
- * Asian sections of supermarkets carry fish
- sauce and coconut milk.
-
- Toss together the carrot, cabbage, vinegar, salt, pepper
- and 1 Tb. vegetable oil. Cover tightly with plastic wrap
- and punch a hole in the top. Microwave on high power for
- 5 minutes, until the vegetables wilt. (Or saute.)
-
- Meanwhile, heat the sesame oil and the remaining 1 Tb.
- vegetable oil in a large skillet over high heat. Quickly
- saute the garlic, ginger and pepper flakes for 1 minute.
- Add the other ingredients except the coconut milk and
- tortillas and stir-fry for about a minute. Add the coconut
- milk and continue cooking until most of the liquid has
- evaporated. Add the cooked cabbage mixture and remove
- from the heat.
-
- Spread about 1 Tb. of the peanut sauce on each tortilla
- and divide the shrimp-vegetable filling among them. Fold
- or roll up. Place on a cookie sheet, seam side down, and
- cover lightly with foil. Heat in a 325-degree oven for
- about 7 minutes. To serve, spoon some dipping sauce over
- each.
-
- Serves 8.

- (I clipped this recipe from a Sunday newspaper magazine
- about a year ago. I made it once for some friends and it
- was tasty! It does take some time to prepare and quite a
- few ingredients, though)
