Ingredients
2 medium
Zucchini
(peeled and chopped)
1/2 cup
Tahini
1/3 cup
Lemon juice
1/3 cup
Extra virgin olive oil
3 clove(s)
Garlic
1 1/2 tsp
Cumin
1 pinch
Salt
1 dash
Black pepper
1 avocado(s)
Avocado
1 can (15oz)
Chickpeas, canned, low sodium
(rinsed, drained, and mashed)
12 leaf
Collard greens
(washed and dried)
Instructions
Chop the zucchini and then add it to a large food processor along with the tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper. Process for about 30 seconds - 1 minute, until you get a smooth consistency.
In a medium-sized bowl, mash the avocado pulp and chickpeas.
Prep your collard wraps by placing them flat (rough side up) on a cutting board and gently glide a sharp paring knife across the length of the stem, shaving it down to the same thickness as the rest of the leaf. Each wrap will require two leaves for rolling.
Place two leaves head to foot, overlapping halfway. Apply a generous amount of hummus at the center where the two leaves overlap.
Add the mashed avocado-chickpea mixture.
Fold in sides and tightly roll like you would a burrito. Cut in half through the center just before eating.
Notes:
Texture modifications for stroke recovery:
Pureed: Omit the collard greens. Process all ingredients in a food processor or blender until a smooth consistency is reached.
Minced:Omit the collard greens. Process all ingredients in a food processor or blender until the mixture is moist and pieces are small enough to fit between the tines of a fork.
Soft and bite-sized: Omit the collard greens. When mashing the avocado and chickpeas, make sure the pieces are no bigger than the size of your thumbnail. To test for softness, press down on the mixture using the back of a fork. The mixture should remain squashed and not regain its shape.
