Quick and Simple Vegetarian Lettuce Wraps

Ingredients

• 1 splash olive oil
• 1 cup rice
• ¼ cup chopped onion
• 1 clove garlic, chopped
• 1 cup vegetable broth
• 1 ½ cups water
• 1 head romaine lettuce leaves
• 1 dash soy sauce, or to taste (Optional)
• 1 splash lime juice, or to taste (Optional)

Step 1

Warm some oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the rice and cook, stirring often, until it turns a nice golden brown—this usually takes about 3 to 5 minutes. Then toss in the onions and garlic, cooking everything together until the onions soften, which should take another 5 to 7 minutes.

Step 2

Pour in the vegetable broth and water, and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, lower the heat to a simmer, cover the pan, and let the rice cook gently until it’s tender and all the liquid has been absorbed—about 10 to 15 minutes. Give the rice a good fluff with a fork and let it cook for another minute or two to finish up.

Step 3

Finally, spoon the rice mixture into lettuce leaves and add a splash of soy sauce or a squeeze of lime juice, depending on what you like. Enjoy!
