4 Servings

Ingredients

  • 4 Large Collard Green Leaves
  • BRINE:
  • 1/3 cup Coconut vinegar
  • 2/3 cup water
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 Tbsp maple syrup
  • FILLING:
  • 1 cup Red Quinoa
  • 2 cup Water
  • 1 tsp Creole Spice
  • 1 tsp Herbs de Provence
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1 cup Red Beans, cooked
  • 1/3 cup Parsley, chopped
  • 1 cup Red Pickled Slaw Recipe

Steps

  • Prepare the leaves by de-stemming them half-way, so that much of the thicker stem is removed.
  • In a wide shallow pot, steam the leaves briefly for a few minutes until vibrant.
  • Toss the collards in the brine to marinate for about 10 minutes, tossing regularly.
  • Rinse and cook red quinoa with water, spices, herbs and salt until tender.
  • Lay drained collard greens on a flat surface. Assemble wraps by scooping quinoa, red beans, parsley and pickled slaw into the middle of the collard greens. Roll while tucking in sides and ends into a compact wrap.
  • Keeps well at room temperature.
  • Enjoy!
