Best 4 Collard Green Wraps With Curried Tofu Recipes

COLLARD GREEN WRAPS WITH CURRIED TOFU

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.

COLLARD GREEN WRAPS

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.

SHEET-PAN COLLARD GREENS AND CRISPY TOFU WITH NITER KIBBEH

Steps:

• Place a rack in middle of oven; preheat to 425°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil; spread out panko evenly on baking sheet. Toast, stirring once, until golden, about 5 minutes. Transfer panko to a plate; reserve baking sheet (leave oven on).
• Season tofu with ½ tsp. salt and arrange in a single layer on a work surface lined with a kitchen towel or several layers of paper towels. Fold towel over tofu, set a small rimmed baking sheet or cutting board on top and weigh down with a couple of cans or a heavy pan. Let sit 20 minutes to drain.
• Place garlic, ginger, and large sliced onion on reserved baking sheet. Drizzle with oil and 1 Tbsp. niter kibbeh and toss to coat. Roast, undisturbed, 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, rinse collard greens in a large bowl or sink filled with cold water and gently agitate. Lift from water (don't pour through a colander or you may redistribute sandy water all over greens) and repeat with fresh water. Remove greens from water.
• Remove baking sheet with roasted onion mixture from oven and arrange greens in a single layer over roasted vegetables (no need to pat dry). Return vegetables to oven and roast 10 minutes.
• Whisk tapioca flour, paprika, 1 tsp. coriander, ¼ tsp. cayenne, and 1 tsp. salt in a shallow bowl to combine. Beat egg whites in another shallow bowl until very thick and foamy (just shy of soft peaks). Set plate of toasted panko next to bowls.
• Unwrap tofu and transfer to a cutting board; halve each slab diagonally into triangles to make 12 pieces total. Working one at a time, dredge tofu in tapioca mixture, shaking off any excess, then dip in egg whites and shake off excess. Coat in panko, gently pressing to adhere. Place tofu on a large plate.
• Remove vegetables from oven (greens should be wilted and lightly charred around the edges at this point). Sprinkle with 1½ tsp. salt; stir gently and push vegetables toward center of baking sheet. Fold a short end of foil over to the opposite end of baking sheet and crimp edges together to make a sealed packet.
• Place tofu pieces on unlined side of baking sheet. Bake, turning tofu halfway through, 20 minutes. (Greens and onion should be very tender and tofu should be warmed through and the outside should be crisped.)
• Meanwhile, separate remaining small sliced onion into strips and place in an even layer in a small shallow bowl. Combine vinegar, sugar, a pinch of cayenne, and remaining ½ tsp. coriander, and remaining ½ tsp. salt in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high until just simmering, about 1 minute. (or heat in a small saucepan on the stovetop over medium-high). Pour over onion, making sure it is submerged. Let sit 20 minutes. Drain onion, reserving brine for drizzling if desired.
• Remove baking sheet from oven and open foil packet. Drizzle 1 Tbsp. niter kibbeh over greens; gently toss to distribute. Divide greens among plates; place 3 tofu pieces on each plate and drizzle with remaining 2 Tbsp. niter kibbeh. Scatter pickled onion over and drizzle with brine if using.

THAI TOFU COLLARD WRAPS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat.
• While the water heats up, prepare the collard green leaves. Trim the stems, then, using a paring knife, carefully remove the thick part of the stem from the leaf. Working parallel to the leaf, shave off any excess stem so that it is flush with the leaf and will roll easily. Repeat with each collard.
• Blanch each collard green leaf in the boiling water for 1 minute, until softened and bright green. Remove from the water and immediately submerge in an ice bath for 1 minute, or until cool to the touch. Dry the collard greens on paper towels until ready to use.
• Make the peanut sauce: In a medium bowl, combine the peanut butter, Sriracha, sesame oil, honey, lime juice, water, and salt. Whisk until smooth.
• In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes. Pour over the tofu strips and marinate for 15 minutes.
• Heat the sesame oil in a medium pan over medium-high heat. Add the tofu strips and sear for 2 minutes on each side, until browned. Remove the tofu from the pan.
• To build the wraps, lay a collard green leaf on a flat surface. Spread 2 teaspoons of peanut sauce across the center of the leaf. Lay 1 strip of tofu on top of the sauce, followed by 3-4 pieces of cucumber, 1 tablespoon shredded carrot, and a bit of mint, Thai basil, and scallions.
• Fold one side of the leaf over the filling and dollop a bit of peanut sauce on top. Fold the other side of the leaf over the filling, and using the sauce to secure. Fold the bottom of the leaf up and over the filling. Tuck in all of the ingredients and roll until the bottom half has reached the top of the leaf. Spread a bit of sauce on the top of the leaf and roll to secure the wrap. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
• Cut in half on the diagonal, then serve with more peanut sauce for dipping, if desired.
• Enjoy!
