FRESH LUMPIA

Fresh Lumpia image

This is a delightful Filipino favorite. Caramelized onion adds sweetness, and peanuts add crunch to the lumpia filling. Serve with my recipe for fresh lumpia sauce (see Footnote).

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed
3 (6 ounce) lean pork tenderloins, sliced into small pieces
4 cups uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
½ small jicama (singkamas or yambean), peeled and cut into matchsticks
1 ½ cups bean sprouts
⅔ cup chickpeas, drained
1 cup fresh green beans, trimmed
2 stalks celery, diced
1 large carrot, minced
1 cup crushed salted peanuts
1 cup crushed salted peanuts, or to taste
1 head green leafy lettuce, or to taste
1 (16 ounce) package lumpia wrappers

Steps:

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; saute until onion is softened and browned, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer onion and garlic to a plate.
Cook pork and shrimp in the same skillet until browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Add back the onion and garlic; season with salt and pepper. Add jicama, bean sprouts, chickpeas, green beans, celery, and carrot. Cook and stir until vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Place filling mixture in a large bowl. Add peanuts and mix well.
Place a lettuce leaf on top of a lumpia wrapper. Place 1 tablespoon filling onto the lettuce. Roll up the wrapper, folding 1 end over the filling. Place on a serving platter. Repeat with remaining lettuce, lumpia, and filling.
