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
12 leaf
Collard greens
(washed and dried)
1 medium pepper(s)
Red bell pepper
(sliced (optional))
2 cup grated
Carrots
(optional)
1 cup
Alfalfa sprouts
(optional)
Instructions
Chop your zucchini and then add it to a large food processor along with your tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper.
Puree using the food processor for about 30 seconds - 1 minute, until you get a smooth consistency. Season to taste by adding more salt or lemon juice, if needed.
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 good amount of hummus at the center where the two leaves overlap. Add desired toppings (see notes). Fold in sides and tightly roll like you would a burrito. Cut through the center just before eating.
