Day 36: Real Food

I'm still no eating real food, but for some reason I was looking at low-cal recipes today.  (Yes, I am torturing myself!)  This one is from Weight Watchers Magazine July/August 2013 issue.   It looks delicious!  I think I'll try it once I'm back on real food.

Turkey, Rice & Blackberry Rolls

 ¼ cup Thai chili sauce

2 Tbl. fresh lime juice

1 tsp. Dijon mustard

1 tsp. chopped thyme

¾ cup fresh blackberries halved

8.8 oz package brown rice

8 (8½ inch round) rice paper wrappers

8 leaves Boston lettuce, tough ribs removed

2 mini-cucumbers, cut in 3-inch strips

1 large yellow bell pepper, cut into 3-inch strips

½ small red onion, thinly sliced

¾ lb grilled turkey cutlets, thinly sliced

1. To make dipping sauce, mix chili sauce, lime juice, mustard, and thyme in small bowl.  Finely chop 3 T blackberries.  Stir into sauce.

2. Rinse rice in sieve under hot running water.  Drain well.

3. To make rolls, working one at a time, dip rice wrapper in bowl of warm water just until soft, 20 seconds. Place on damp, clean kitchen towel.  Fold 1 lettuce leaf to fit center of wrapper, leaving 1½ inch border on two sides. Spoon scant ¼ cup layer of rice over lettuce, layer top with 1/8 each of cucumber, bell pepper, onion, and turkey (3-4 pieces).  Top with 1/8 remaining blackberries, cut side down (4-5 pieces).  Fold in sides of wrapper and roll up.  Press gently to seal.  Cut each roll in half diagonally.  Serve with dipping sauce.
