My aunt Joanne's awesome ~basil~ wraps
- Large leaf basil in the little tub from Trader Joes*
- Peanuts - Limes, skin left on, cut into tiny dice - Fresh ginger, peeled, diced very small - Toasted coconut. Avaialbe at TJs untoasted, toasts in your over in 2 minutes. - Honey and water 1:1 ratio to form a drizzlable dressing that's not too sticky sweet It's a lot of work cutting everthing up, and the limes are kind of tricky, but when you wrap it all up in a big basil leaf and drizzle the honey dressing on it, it's just so worth it. This is an amazing appetizer and an interesting conversation piece. It activates a bunch of different taste sensations: bitter, sweet, salty, yummy. *crucial ingredient for 2 reasons: it's washed and the bigger leaves are perfect for wraps. |

I haven't had my morning coffee, and thought this was some kind of facial mask/pack or something until the end! I was thinking how cool it would be to have an aunt that made fancy homemade beauty treatments! Ami |

I can only blame it on the fact that I was on some weird posting spree last night. The recipe would not be the same without the toasted coconut, but the honey could be substituted for something low carb. -- Peace, Pen -- Pawbreakers - The Candy for Cats! http://www.pawbreakers.com "limegreen" wrote in message om... - Large leaf basil in the little tub from Trader Joes* - Peanuts - Limes, skin left on, cut into tiny dice - Fresh ginger, peeled, diced very small - Toasted coconut.
