For the Wraps
ingredients
- 4 collard green leaves
- 8 ounces tempeh
- 1/2 cups garlic hummus
- 1 avocado
- 1/2 red onion
- 3 roma tomatoes
- 2 large carrots
Spicy Almond Butter Sauce
ingredients
- 1/3 cup almond butter
- 1/8 cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 tbsp minced garlic
- 1/8 cup sesame oil
- 1/8 water
- 3 tbsp sriracha
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes
Method
Step 1
To prepare the collard greens, you'll first want to cut off the thick stems. To do this, cut along the thick spine of the collard green till about 2/3 of the way up the leaf. Then cut it off. Afterward, trim the spine by using a sharp knife to slice the stem horizontally. This will help to flatten your wrap.
Step 2
Next, prepare a bowl or saucepan with boiling water. Dip the collard green into the boiling water for about 15 seconds. The leaf will start to turn a darker green. Then dip the wrap into a bowl of cold water for about 10 seconds and then pat dry with a towel.
Step 3
Lastly, lay the collard green onto a plate and place a paper towel on top to help with the drying process. Repeat for the rest of the wraps.
Step 4
To prepare the tempeh, slice it into about 1/4 inch thick slices. Add 2 tbsp of olive oil to a saucepan and then lay the tempeh flat on top. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until slightly browned. Then add in 1/2 cup of teriyaki sauce and coat the tempeh in it. Cook for another 2-3 minutes on each side or until the tempeh looks done. Be careful to avoid burning the tempeh.
Step 5
Then slice the onion, tomatoes, and avocado. Shred the carrots.
Step 6
On one of the collard green wraps, spread on some of the hummus. Then add 3-4 slices of tempeh and layer with the tomatoes, onion, carrots, and avocado. Roll the wrap like a burrito and serve!
Step 7
To prepare the almond butter sauce, add all of the ingredients into a food processor and then blend until creamy!
