| . Recipe ~ Collard Leaves Make Great Wraps Collard Wraps with Pecans and Avocado Recipe ~ by Christine Salus I LOVE collard leaves. They are super nutrient dense and make great wraps. The possibilities are endless!  Ingredients 4 large collard leaves 1 red bell pepper 1 avocado 2-3 ounces alfalfa sprouts ½ lime 1 cup raw pecans 1 tablespoon tamari (gluten-free soy sauce) 1 teaspoon cumin (or ½ teaspoon minced garlic and ½ teaspoon grated ginger) 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil Directions To prepare collard leaves wash leaves, cut off white stem at the bottom that has no leaves and place them in a bath of warm water with juice of half a lemon. Let soak for 10 minutes. Dry the leaves off with paper towels and using a knife thinly slice down the central root (to make it easier to bend the leaves for wrapping). Slice avocado and pepper. In a food processor combine pecans, tamari, cumin (or garlic ginger mix) and olive oil. Pulse until combined and mixture clumps together. Place a collard leaf in front of you and layer nut mix, red pepper slices, avocado slices, a drizzle of lime juice and alfalfa sprouts. Fold over the top and bottom and then wrap up the sides. Slice in half and serve. |
