Romaine Wraps Recipes

Steps:

• Place a square of parchment paper on the kitchen counter and place three romaine lettuce leaves on the parchment, overlapping generously. Drizzle sriracha mayonnaise over the insides of the leaves and place 2 slices turkey on top of the mayonnaise. (The mayonnaise acts as the "glue" to hold the romaine together.) Top the turkey with 2 half slices Cheddar, 2 slices tomato and a slice of bacon.
• Use the parchment to assist in rolling it up like a sushi roll. Once the lettuce wrap is rolled, use the parchment to wrap it completely by folding in three corners and rolling up tight. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make 3 more wraps.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F and coat inside of a 13- by 9-inch glass or ceramic baking or gratin dish with 1 tablespoon butter. Cut 2 thin slices from each lemon half and squeeze juice from remaining lemon.
• Mash together remaining 2 tablespoons butter, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, and shallot and season well with salt and pepper. Sprinkle dish with remaining juice.
• Cook lettuce in a large pot of salted boiling water 1 minute. Immediately transfer with tongs to a bowl of ice water to cool. Drain lettuce and cut out ribs, leaving top 1 inch of leaves intact.
• Spread out 1 lettuce leaf lengthwise on a work surface. Place another leaf on first leaf, overlapping enough to cover any holes (use 2 extra leaves if necessary). Season 1 piece halibut with salt and pepper and place crosswise in center of lettuce. Spread top of fish with one fourth of shallot butter. Wrap lettuce over fish to form a packet (don't worry if ends aren't covered by lettuce) and transfer to baking dish. Make 3 more packets in same manner, arranging them close together in baking dish.
• Top each packet with a lemon slice. Cover packets with a sheet of wax or parchment paper, then tightly cover dish with foil.
• Bake in middle of oven until centers of packets are just firm to the touch, 15 to 20 minutes, depending on thickness of fish. Serve with pan juices poured over packets.

Steps:

• Blend garlic cloves, 1 tsp. salt, cilantro leaves, & pine nuts in a small food processor until you get a creamy texture. Transfer to a bowl & start adding oil while whisking. Bring to desired texture, adding the chicken stock if needed. Finish with salt and pepper to taste. Keep aside. Core and seed tomatoes and cut into strips. Slice green onions and avocado and set aside. Clean romaine and separate lettuce leaves. Mix the chicken with the cilantro pesto. Take a leaf of romaine & put some of the chicken mixture, add avocado slices, tomatoes, onions and top with cheese.
