Just popping in, hope to enjoy LJ a little more fully this weekend. :o)

Two slow cooker recipes and then one fantastic sounding wrap from the leftovers. Mmm. On a side note, though, if you're not going to look up the recipes right away, at least write down the name. Some of Aaron McCargo's shows from last month looked fabulous, but they're not in the top 100 and I couldn't remember what it was enough to search for it. Was planning on checking out the episode descriptions and finding them that way, but it appears they no longer list them that way? I couldn't find it, anyway. *sigh*

Cook Time: 15 min Level: Easy Yield: 4 servings

1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 cup shredded cabbage
1 cup shredded carrots
2 cups shredded leftover cooked beef
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 1/4 cups water

Salt and pepper

8 Bibb or romaine lettuce leaves

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the sesame oil and heat. Add the cabbage and carrots and saute for 2 minutes. Add the beef and cook, stirring, until the beef is heated and the cabbage begins to wilt, about 2 minutes. Add the hoisin sauce and soy sauce and cook 5 minutes, until mixture heats through and cabbage wilts, stirring frequently.

Meanwhile, bring the water to a boil. Place the couscous in a heatproof bowl and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and curry powder. Pour the boiling water over the couscous and cover for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.

Spoon some of the beef into the center of each lettuce leaf and roll up. Serve with the couscous.
