An excellent way to cut down on the carbs that often accompany tasty wraps! There is a world of wraps beyond the tortilla!
Young Collards are more tender and the best option for using raw. However, even larger somewhat tougher leaves can be used here, as the different textures of the leaf and ingredients provide variety and balance. Collards are a great source of calcium, iron, and vitamin A and C, as well as being potent anti-carcinogens.
Remove stem from leaf, as well as bottom 1'' of stem from the lower part of leaf but cutting a small "V" into bottom of leaf.
Cover leaf with your favourite spread (hummus, tahini, baba ghanoush, garlic pesto, nut butter, pate etc.)
top with sprouts, grated carrots, zucchini, cilantro, cheese, or even a herring or two!
Roll tightly into a cucoon shape, folding the ends in if you prefer.
A fun and LOCAL sushi alternative!
