Number Of Ingredients 15

¾ cup dry brown lentils
cooking spray
1 (8 ounce) package gourmet mushroom blend, roughly chopped
1 cup matchstick-cut carrots, plus more for garnish
2 cloves garlic, minced, divided

These lettuce wraps were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

I'm not a big fan of lentils, but these lettuce wraps were surprisingly good. The filling was flavorful and well-balanced, and the lettuce cups were a great way to keep everything together.

These lettuce wraps were a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved them. I'll definitely try them again with less chili sauce.

I had to make a few substitutions (I didn't have any hoisin sauce or rice vinegar), but the wraps still turned out great. I'll definitely be making them again.
