Wild Rice and Hummus Collard Wraps [Vegan]
Ingredients
- 2 collard greens leaves
- 1/4 cup wild rice cooked
- 1/3 cup hummus preferably homemade
- 1 small zucchini cut lengthwise in about 1/2 inch slices
- 1 red bell pepper sliced
- 1 orange bell pepper sliced
Preparation
- Pick two medium-sized leaves of collard greens and lay them down flat with the backside up. Trim the stem lightly to make it easier to roll.
- In a large pot bring water to a boil. Dip each leaf into the water and count to 10. Remove the leaf from water and pad it dry with a tea towel. Place both leaves with the backside up again and set aside.
- In a bowl mix wild rice and hummus together. In the middle of each leaf spread 1/2 of the wild hummus mixture, top with couple slices of zucchini and a handful of bell peppers.
- Wrap it up. Using your hands gently fold the top and bottom parts of the leaves inward while you roll the wrap, right to left, (very much like wrapping a burrito).
- Cut in half. A serrated or very sharp knife works best. Enjoy!
