"The tradition of Italian cooking is that of the matriarch. This is the cooking of grandma. She didn't waste time thinking too much about the celery. She got the best celery she could and then she dealt with it."--Mario Batali

Ingredients:  
1 lb ground pork
1 small red onion, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 Tbsp minced fresh ginger
1 Tbsp minced lemongrass (optional)
1 jalapeno pepper, minced
2 tsp sugar

Directions:
Preheat a clean, lightly oiled grill or grill pan. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken with the onion, garlic, ginger, lemongrass if desired, jalapeno, sugar, and salt, stirring gently to evenly distribute all the ingredients. Roll the mixture into golf ball-size orbs, then carefully thread 3 or 4 onto each skewer.

When your grill is hot, add the meatball skewers and grill for 4 to 5 minutes per side, until a light char has developed on the outside and the meatballs are cooked through. When done, they should feel firm, but springy to the touch.

Use the lettuce and rice to make little Asian-style wraps with the meatballs, topping with cucumbers and your choice of sauces.
