Default 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.

LoL! 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!

If it didn't have honey, it might not be too bad.

i thought maybe it was an herbal wrap for the body, you know with
towels and blankets, etc. we learned how to do them in massage
school - this one seemed rather interesting. until, like you
say, at the bottom i realized it's an appetizer.

Oops, I guess you're right. I guess the coconut and the honey sort of
disqualify it. 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.
