Joyce's Vietnamese Chicken Meatballs in Lettuce Wraps
- Recipe by Jennifer Joyce
Pairing Suggestion
The Spanish grape Verdejo has a citrusy zing that goes perfectly with this sweet-spicy lettuce-wrapped chicken. It grows in the Rueda region in north-central Spain, where fine dry weather in 2004 resulted in terrific wines like the tangy Naia and the zesty, fresh Solar de la Vega.

Joyce's Vietnamese Chicken Meatballs in Lettuce Wraps
These meatballs were a great little dinner. Loved the flavors. And this is a fairly easy meal to prepare. However, I would add an additional sauce for dipping. That chili sauce was a tad hot.

I forgot, I did make a few other changes. I omitted the mint (I don't care for it in meat) and the sugar. We didn't miss them at all. I added a little dab of sriracha hot sauce on my meatballs, but my husband loved the sweet chili sauce.

These were delicious. I made the substitutions of soy sauce instead of fish sauce and lemon zest instead of lemongrass. It's what I had on hand. It was my 1st time using thighs in the processor. They were so moist. Will make these frequently
