Ingredients
- Juice of 2 limes (about 14 cup)
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons chile paste, such as sambal oelek (see ShopSmart, right)
- 2 teaspoons fish sauce
- 2 cups roasted peanuts or cashews, roughly chopped
- 23 cup roughly chopped fresh cilantro (leaves and stems)
- 12 Bibb lettuce leaves (about 1 head)
- Half a medium fresh pineapple, peeled, cored, and cut into bite-size chunks (about 3 cups) (see page 274)
- Kosher salt
Instructions
- Whisk the lime juice, sugar, chile paste, and fish sauce in a bowl until the sugar dissolves. Add the peanuts and cilantro and stir until evenly dressed with the sauce.
- When ready to serve, arrange the lettuce leaves on a large platter. Put about 14 cup of pineapple in each leaf and season with salt to taste. Top the pineapple with the nut mixture. Serve, letting your guests wrap (or fold) each lettuce leaf to enclose the filling.

Reviews
We loved this! Made it as appetizer for a Mother’s Day lunch with the family. Tasty, fresh, crunchy, and a little heat.
I’ve made these numerous times and they’re always a hit.
Whoopsies! I hope 2 juiced limes equal 1/4c, not 14 cups
