Ingredients
- 1 bunch Organic Collard Greens
- 1/2 Organic Red Pepper (chopped)
- 1/4 Organic Cucumber (sliced thin)
- 2 Medium Organic Carrots (chopped)
- 3/4 cup Organic Lettuce
- Organic Mint
- Vegan Lemon Ginger Spicy Glazed Glow Tofu
Instructions
Makes 2-3 servings
Wash and chop the organic red pepper, organic cucumber and organic carrots. Please aside. Cook the organic tofu as described in the “Vegan Lemon Ginger Spicy Glazed Glow Tofu” recipe on http://www.reawakeningbeauty.ca.
Bring a large pot of filtered water to a boil. In a separate bowl add cold water and ice cubes. Dip one collard green leaf in the boiling water for 15-25 seconds using the stem to hold the leaf. Remove from the boiling water and place immediately in the ice water for a few seconds. Place the leaf on a paper towel to dry. Repeat this process for the remaining green collard leaves.
Take one leaf at a time and place a little bit of the red pepper, cucumber, carrots, lettuce and mint in the middle of the leaf. Slowly wrap the collard green leaf similar to how you would wrap a burrito. Once tightly wrapped use toothpicks to hold the wrap together. Repeat this process for collard green leaf. Enjoy!
