Collard Green Wrap With Carrot Ginger Hummus and Rainbow Veggies. Ingredients. 4 large collard leaves or 6 small collard leaves. Instructions. For the wraps Trim off the thickest part of the collard green stem using a paring knife and turning the leaf over to access the backbone of the leaf. Youll just want to make sure the leaf bends nicely. If you prefer and sometimes I do, boil water in a large pan with a steamer basket and steam the leaves for a couple of minutes until they are a bright green. They should still be a little tough because you dont want them to break. This works best with large leaves. Pat collards dry and spread out with the inside of the leaf facing up. Spread a couple tablespoons of hummus on the inside of each leaf. Add a couple tablespoons of grains on top of the hummus and arrange some of each kind of vegetable on top. This is a beautiful way to serve the collard wraps if you are going for presentation. To eat, fold the edges in and roll up like a burrito. Makes 6 small wraps or 4 large wraps, depending on sizes of your collard leaves. Copyright www. dinnerwithaura.
