Instructions
How to prepare collard greens for wraps:
- Trim the stem. Starting at the bottom of each green, cut along the spine on each side using a sharp paring knife and remove the stem.
- Trim the spine of the collard greens. Cut so that the spine is as flat as the rest of the collard green.
- Submerge each collard green into simmering water for 30 seconds.
- Transfer each collard green leaf to an ice bath (equal parts cold water and ice) and submerge it in the ice bath for at least 15 seconds
- Place the collard green leaf (one at a time) between two clean paper or kitchen towels and pat the greens completely dry.
- *** Collards can be used raw, but they are tougher and harder to digest, but hold up well as a wrap.
Make your wrap:
- Add your fillings.
- Start with a base to “hold” the fillings – hummus, bean dip
- Starting at the edge, begin to roll your wrap. As you go, tuck in the sides and continue to roll.
- Cut…and enjoy!
