C L T Lettuce Cups

Salty, smoky, crunchy, creamy, juicy, complex, yet simple? Yes, please. The BLT sandwich is cherished for its perfect balance of textures and flavors. We turned this handheld baddie into a refreshing, gluten free lettuce cup with fluffy quinoa and the kick of peppery horseradish.

INSTRUCTIONS

1
Cook the quinoa

Combine quinoa, 1 cup water, just ½ tsp paprika, and a pinch of salt in small saucepan. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to low, and cook until water is absorbed and grains are tender, 12 to 15 minutes.

2
Toast the breadcrumbs

Meanwhile, heat 1 tsp olive oil in medium nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add breadcrumbs and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to small plate and wipe skillet clean.

3
Cook the chickpeas

In same skillet, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium-high heat. Add chickpeas and a pinch of salt and pepper, cover, and cook until crispy in places and browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Add tamari and just 2 tsp liquid smoke and cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and liquid has evaporated, 3 to 4 minutes.

4
Make the mayo

Combine mayo, just 2 tsp horseradish, and a pinch of salt and pepper in small bowl. Set aside. (TIP: Add more horseradish if you prefer more heat.)

5
Assemble and serve
