COLLARD GREEN WRAPS WITH CURRIED TOFU



Collard Green Wraps with Curried Tofu image

Store-bought curry pastes come in varying degrees of spiciness, even if their labels all say the same thing. If the cooked tofu isn't as hot as you'd hoped, amp it up by tucking a slice or two of Fresno chile into your wrap.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

5 scallions
4 garlic cloves, finely grated
1 (2") piece ginger, peeled, finely grated
1 Tbsp. virgin coconut oil or vegetable oil
2 Tbsp. Thai red curry paste
1 (14-oz.) package firm tofu, drained, broken into 1" pieces
1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
Kosher salt
1 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
1 Fresno chile, thinly sliced (optional)
1 bunch collard greens, leaves halved lengthwise, ribs and stems removed, covered, chilled
1/2 cup cilantro leaves with tender stems
1/2 cup Dang Original coconut chips or toasted unsweetened coconut flakes
Lime wedges (for serving)

Steps:

  • Remove dark green tops from scallions and thinly slice on a diagonal. Place in a small bowl, cover with a damp paper towel, and chill until ready to serve. Thinly slice remaining white and pale green parts crosswise and place in another small bowl; add garlic and ginger. (Have scallion mixture, curry paste, tofu, and coconut milk near the stove and at the ready so you can work quickly.)
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Cook scallion mixture, stirring, until just beginning to brown, about 1 minute. Add curry paste and cook, stirring, until it begins to stick to pan, about 1 minute. Add tofu and coconut milk, season with salt, and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer gently until sauce is almost completely evaporated and you can see the bottom of skillet, 5-7 minutes. Stir in lime juice.
  • Transfer tofu mixture to a platter and top with chile, if using. Arrange collard greens, cilantro, and reserved scallion tops on platter so that each component is visible and easily accessible. Place coconut chips in a small bowl and arrange lime wedges on a small plate.

Creamy hummus, crunchy bell pepper, and refreshing cucumber join tangy artichoke hearts and peppery arugula inside tender, blanched collard green leaves, resulting in fresh and flavorful veggie wraps that are perfect for a light lunch. Serve with chips on the side or even some lemon-garlic roasted potatoes or rice.

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

¼ cup apple cider vinegar
3 tablespoons kosher salt
1 bunch collard greens
1 (10 ounce) container roasted garlic hummus
1 large red bell pepper, thinly sliced
½ small seedless cucumber, cut into sticks
1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
1 (14 ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained and quartered
1 cup packed baby arugula
2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot with 3 inches of water. Add vinegar and salt; bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  • While water comes to a boil, remove 4 large leaves from the bunch of collard greens. Lay them flat on a cutting board and trim the stems until even with beginning of leaves. Carefully shave center stems down until leaves lay flat, being careful to not tear them.
  • Place leaves in boiling water and cook undisturbed until bright green and wilted, about 30 seconds. Use tongs to carefully transfer leaves to a bowl of ice water; let cool 3 minutes. Remove from ice water and pat dry.
  • Lay collard leaves flat on a large cutting board and assemble wraps as follows, dividing ingredients evenly among the 4 leaves. Spread an even layer of hummus on each leaf, leaving a 2-inch border. In the bottom third of each leaf, stack bell pepper, cucumber, onion, artichoke hearts, and arugula. Drizzle with lemon juice.
  • Fold the sides of each leaf in towards the center, using your hands to help keep the sides tucked in, and roll, starting from bottom. Slice in half diagonally to serve.
