Back to recipe

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces fresh mushrooms (we used cremini)
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • 1 tablespoon minced ginger
  • 1/2 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried, minced garlic
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried, minced onion
  • 1 red pepper, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
  • 1 head Boston lettuce
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrot
  • 1/4 cup chopped cashews (optional)

Directions

  1. Place the mushrooms, onion, garlic and ginger in a food processor. Pulse until finely chopped. Add ground beef. Pulse until well combined.
  2. Heat oil in a large, nonstick skillet set over medium-high heat. Add the mushroom mixture and seasoning blend. Cook, stirring often for 10 minutes until browned.
  3. Stir in red pepper, hoisin sauce, soy sauce and vinegar. Simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Serve in Boston lettuce leaves garnished with shredded carrot and chopped cashews. Why mushrooms? They provide an extra serving of vegetables and deliver important nutrients such as B vitamins, vitamin D, selenium, niacin, riboflavin, potassium, and fiber. They’re also low in calories, low-fat, low in sodium and are cholesterol free.
