COLLARD WRAPS WITH HERBED CASHEW SPREAD AND ROAST PEPPERS image

Categories     Vegetable

Yield 4 people

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 1/2
cup Raw cashews, soaked overnight in water and drained
1-2
Cloves garlic (careful: raw garlic is potent, so you may want to start with one clove!)
3
tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
1/4
teaspoon Sea salt (or to taste)
Black pepper to taste
Water
6
Oil-soaked sun dried tomatoes, patted dry
2
teaspoons Herbes de Provence
1/4
cup Fresh basil, loosely chopped
4
Medium sized collard leaves
3
Roasted red bell peppers (you can roast your own or use jarred)
2
cups Fresh arugula (optional, but nice if you want more of a green bite!)

Steps:

  • Place the cashews, garlic, lemon, sea salt, and pepper in a food processor or high speed blender. Process until the mixture is a thick paste. With the motor running, drizzle in water till the mixture is the texture of light, fluffy ricotta. It may not take much water at all, depending on how much water the cashews absorbed! Season to taste, and then pulse in the sun dried tomatoes, herbes de provence, and the basil. To prep the collards: you can either a) blanch them in boiling water for one minute each, then submerge in cool water and pat down with paper towels, or you can b) marinate them for 3-4 hours in a mixture of 1 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice, and a pinch of sea salt, wiping the marinade off before you get to wrapping. If you don't mind the taste of raw collards, you can skip this step! Trim down the inner spine of the collard leaves, per column instructions: http://www.food52.com/articles/4484_thinking_outside_the_wrap. Spread them with 1/4 the cashew mixture each, and then top that with 1/4 of the red peppers and arugula, if using. Wrap them up, slice, and serve!

These wraps were a great way to use up some leftover roasted peppers. I also had some leftover cashew butter, so this recipe was perfect for me.

I'm not a huge fan of collard greens, but these wraps were surprisingly delicious. The cashew spread and roasted peppers really helped to balance out the bitterness of the collards.

These wraps were easy to make and packed with flavor. I especially liked the combination of the creamy cashew spread and the tangy roasted peppers.

I had some trouble finding collard leaves at my local grocery store, but I was able to find them at a nearby farmer's market. They were definitely worth the extra effort!

These wraps were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. I'll try making them again with less cayenne pepper next time.

The herbed cashew spread was amazing! I could eat it on just about anything. I'll definitely be making this again.

I love the idea of using collard leaves as wraps! They're a great healthy alternative to tortillas or bread.

These collard wraps were a delightful surprise! The herbed cashew spread was incredibly flavorful and creamy, and the roasted peppers added a nice smoky sweetness. The collard leaves were a bit tough, but overall this dish was a hit.
