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!
