Healthy Spring Rolls: Be-Leaf it or Not

This 'recipe' was borne of a nearly-empty fridge. My poor shelf hadn't been stocked in a bit too long, and all that was to be found was half a head of iceberg, a handful of carrots, a bit of chorizo and a lone courgette. It was cold out, and I'd come home from a startlingly wild game of netball absolutely ravenous. So what on earth to make from my odd little collection of ingredients?

Spring rolls! Except without rice paper. And without being rolls. Whatever they are, they're a fantastically easy to make dinner that is jam packed full of colour, veg and crunch. Feel free to chop and change for different vegetables, or chicken/beef/beans in place of chorizo.

Be-leaf me, you'll want to try these. 

What You'll Need

Per Person

- 1 courgette

- 2 carrots

- 5cm of chorizo

- 1/4 head of lettuce

The How-To:

1. Chop chorizo into small pieces and pop into a frying pan over a low heat with a little oil for about 5 minutes until warmed through

2. In the meantime, wash and chop the carrots into pieces the same size as the chorizo, and add in to the pan

3. Use a julienne peeler to create 'courgetti' (or just chop into small pieces if no peeler to hand), and add in with the carrots/chorizo

5. Stir everything for 3-4 minutes until warmed through

6. Tear away each iceberg leaf individually and give a quick rinse

7. Scoop a generous amount of courgette/carrot/chorizo mix onto each leaf

8. Eat immediately!
