Pork Cilantro Lettuce Wraps with Chimichurri Sauce

Well well. What does one do with a little extra pork roast hanging about? I use up the cilantro I've got in the refrigerator, combine it with a few bits and pieces, together with some "Memories of Patagonia" Herb and Garlic Chimichurri Sauce and voila! Fresh, delish, and perfect for a hot summer night.

You'll need your favorite lettuce that's nice and bend-y so you can wrap it easily. I happen to use Romaine lettuce leaves tonight. Wash and dry each piece and set aside.

You can find Chimichurri Sauce Recipe on the Internet (because I've not made it from scratch yet) and it's really lovely when you're making an exotic flavoured wrap such as this. I used a bottled version from President's Choice which really carries lovely marinades, etc. Here's what you'll need.

1 cup of Chimichurri Sauce, 1 cup of sour cream, the juice of one lime, 1 cup of cilantro leaves (fresh), 1 sliced red onion, shredded fresh ginger, thinly cut up pork roast. Combine in a bowl the Chimichurri Sauce with sour cream and add the lime juice. Then lay out the lettuce leaf and begin layering with a tbsp. of Chimichurri Sauce/Sour Cream/Lime mixture, shredded or thinly sliced pork roast, red onion, dots of freshly shredded ginger, about 2 tbsp. of cilantro leaves, then top again with another tablespoon of sauce. You can, if you like secure the leaves with toothpicks. What's so "cool" is you can assemble all of this and have it later. There is no heating required and it's a terribly refreshing dinner on a hot summer night. Enjoy!
