Gluten Free Beef Rendang Wraps
Hints & tips
Make gluten free - Swap the roti for a gluten free garlic/ or plain wrap. These are our favorites Old El Paso & El Cielo
Mince - Beef mince is used for the classic beef rendang flavours. Lamb mince would be a good alternative.
Easy swaps - Roti can be swapped for tortillas if that’s what you have on hand.
Add or swap out any salad you like:
Iceberg lettuce is the classic choice, but other lettuces and leaves can be used, too. Spinach, kale, and rocket will all yield different results in taste.
Add more vegetables. If you want a fresher flavour, you can add chopped tomatoes, red onion or avocado.
Serving suggestion - Serve as suggested above. Bulk out the meal with sweet potato fries or these Lentil & Coconut Fritters
Portion size - Serves 4 or 2 with leftovers. See below.
Storage - These are best cooked fresh. Cook what you will eat and store the leftover raw mince in the fridge for 3 days. Use to cook up another quick dinner or lunch.
