Amount Ingredient
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped celery
1 x garlic clove minced
1 tbl vegetable oil
1 tsp salt
3/4 tsp ground turmeric
3/4 tsp lemon pepper
3/4 tsp grated fresh ginger root
2 cup water
1 cup whole-grain couscous (or regular)
1 x 16 Oz. Can garbanzo beans rinsed and drained
1/2 cup halved seedless grapes
8 lrg iceberg or leafy green lettuce leaves
Instructions:
Instructions: Saute onion, celery and garlic in oil until softened. Add salt, ground turmeric, lemon pepper and ginger root; mix well. Add water. Bring mixture to boil, stir in couscous and beans and return mixture to boil. Cover pan and let stand 5 minutes or until all the water is absorbed. Mix in grapes; cover and let stand 5 minutes. Fluff mixture with a fork. To serve: Spoon 3/4 cup mixture in center of each lettuce leaf; roll up into flute or cone shape. Serve with mango chutney. May also be served cold.

Makes 8 servings as a side dish, or 4 servings as a main dish.

NOTES : Fresh-lettuce wraps are attractive but a challenge to eat, because the crisp lettuce sometimes breaks. The test-group solution: Some ate out-of-hand, and the neat eaters used cutlery.
