    HOW TO MAKE COLLARD GREEN ROLLS

    First, gather your ingredients.

    INGREDIENTS YOU NEED:

    • For the Collard Wraps:
    • 1 bunch Nature’s Greens whole collard greens
    • 2 whole carrots
    • 1 whole red or orange pepper or 4 small peppers
    • 2 leaves purple cabbage or a ½ cup shredded purple cabbage
    • 2 cups farro cooked per package directions
    • ¼ cup peanuts optional
    • ¼ cup fresh cilantro
    • ½ cup garlic hummus
    • For the Peanut sauce:
    • ¾ cup natural creamy peanut butter
    • ¼ cup soy sauce or liquid aminos
    • 2 cloves garlic, minced
    • ¼ cup rice vinegar sub apple cider vinegar
    • ¼ cup water
    • 2 tablespoons maple syrup sub honey

    EQUIPMENT YOU NEED:

    • Cutting board
    • Knife
    • Large flat bottom pan
    • Large bowl (for ice bath)
    • Plates with paper towels (for cooling cooked collards)
    • Small bowl (for mixing the peanut dipping sauce)
    • Whisk

    Step 1: Prepare your collard green wrap fillings

    Cook the farro according to the package directions. That way, you can prepare the rest of your collard rolls ingredients while the farro cooks.

    While your farro cooks, grab a cutting board and a knife. Make sure you thoroughly rinse and clean your vegetables. For these wraps, I used carrots, red cabbage, and mini red peppers.

    Slice the carrots and red peppers (or whatever vegetable you use) into thin matchsticks.

    Either shred or chop the red cabbage. And if you have green cabbage, by all means use that!

    HOW TO PREPARE COLLARDS FOR ROLLING

    Slice the long ends and excess stem off the collard green. If the stem seems particularly large, you can cut a portion of it out. But, the blanching, which we will get to next, will help to soften the stem and make it easier to roll.

    cutting the stems off the collard greens to prepare them for blanching
    Look for a nice round or oval shaped leaf without any rips or tears.

    When the farro is done cooking, I like to add some olive oil and sea salt. This helps bring out the flavor. And the oil also helps the grains to not stick together.

    Step 2: Blanch the collard greens

    Next, you're going to blanch the collard green leaves. This really just helps them to become more flexible and less likely to rip or break when you roll them up.,

    Blanching basically is just quickly boiling and then quickly cooling it down so it doesn't lose too many nutrients.

    Start by bringing a large shallow pot to a gentle boil. I like to use a deep frying pan with a flat bottom. Place each leaf in the water one at a time for only 5 seconds!

    blanching a collard green in a pan of boiling water using red tongs
    use tongs to make sure the leaf is fully submerged.

    On your counter, near the boiling pan, keep a deep dish or mixing bowl filled with ice water. This will be your "ice bath."

    dipping collard green in an ice bath of water to cool it off
    quickly press your leaf under the cold water.

    And then next to that, have some dry towels or paper towels to place between each leaf. You don't want them sitting in the water and getting soggy.

    layer the blanched leaves between towels or paper towels as they finish.

    Step 3: Fill your collard green wraps

    Finally, the moment you have been waiting for. Filling your collard green wraps!

    Start with a layer of hummus on the bottom. Then add a scoop (or 2 of farro depending on how big your leaf is). Add the veggies on top of that.

    How do you roll collard greens:

    Start by folding in the two sides and then roll it up the long way. Kind of like a burrito if that makes sense!

    Step 4: Make the homemade peanut dipping sauce

    The peanut dipping sauce is a must! It adds so much delicious flavor. It is also super easy to make!

    All you have to do is add all the ingredients to a blender and pulse until it is smooth and creamy.

    If you don't have a blender, whisk all the ingredients for your Thai peanut sauce in a small mixing bowl till totally combined.

    HOW TO STORE RAINBOW COLLARD ROLLS

    To store the wraps, place them in a covered or air tight container. Do the same with the dip. These not only make a great appetizer, but also a good lunch option!

    FAQ's

    Frequently asked questions about my healthy rainbow collard green rolls.

    What is the healthiest way to eat collard greens?

    The healthiest way to eat collard greens is to eat them!! Collard greens are incredibly healthy on their own. Skip the frying with oils, bacon, and cheese. Instead, roll them with other healthy ingredients like hummus, whole grains, and veggies.

    How long does it take for collard greens to get tender?

    You only have to blanch collard greens in simmering water for about 5 seconds and they will be the perfect texture for rolling!

    How long do collard greens wraps last?

    Store collard rolls in the fridge in a tightly covered container for up to 3 days. The peanut sauce will last a little longer, up to 1 week.
