  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove, diced
  • 1/2 onion, diced
  • 1 zucchini, diced

In a frying pan bring the oil up to medium-hot heat. Add the next 7 ingredients plus salt and pepper. Sauté for 4-5 minutes or until the vegetables are slightly soft.

Place 3-4 tablespoons of the mixture into each lettuce “cup”, fold and serve. Serve with the Peanut-Hoisin-Soy Sauce.
