Name: Lamb Larb Lettuce Cups with Crispy Garlic, Fresh Herbs & Lime Dressing
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 12 min
Total time: 27 min
Yield: 2 servings
Ingredients: 12 oz ground lamb; 4 tablespoons fish sauce; 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice; 2 tablespoons neutral oil (divided); 1 tablespoon white rice; 1 medium shallot, minced; 4 garlic cloves, minced (divided: 2 tbsp sliced thin for crisping, 2 tbsp minced for mixing); 2 Thai chilies (or 1 serrano), minced; ¼ cup fresh mint leaves; ¼ cup fresh cilantro leaves; 2 scallions, thinly sliced; 1 head butter lettuce, leaves separated and rinsed; Salt to taste; 1 teaspoon coconut sugar (optional)

This is Thai larb—ground lamb seasoned with lime juice, fish sauce, and toasted rice powder, folded with fresh mint, cilantro, and scallions, then served in crisp butter lettuce leaves with mounds of crispy fried garlic and a squeeze of lime. It's textural, aromatic, and feels like a proper meal.
