I love me some collards! There are so many ways to cook them and they make the greatest wrap instead of using a tortilla (cooked or raw). Check out this video of Seitan-stuffed Collard Greens to see how easy it is to make a wrap from collards!
Today’s Meatless Monday recipe is a beautiful and tasty dish using collards that is my take on a traditional African dish.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 cups sweet potato, matchsticks
- Pinch of sea salt
- 1 bunch of collards, stems removed, leaves in chiffonade, 4 stems thinly sliced on diagonal
- 1/2 cup carrot, matchsticks
- 1/3 cup orange juice
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons tamari
- 1/2 teaspoon curry powder
- 2 tablespoons raisins
Preparation
Heat water in a medium skillet with lid. When water gets bubbly add sweet potatoes and salt, cover with lid and simmer for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk together juice, peanut butter, tamari, and curry. Add carrots, raisins, and collard stems with sauce mix in skillet. Simmer with lid on for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in collard greens and simmer for another 3 minutes stirring occasionally to coat the greens with the sauce. Serve immediately.
