Collard Green Wrap with Curried Tahini



I know this looks like some kind of Atkins low-carb solution, but its totally not about that.  Collard greens are just so awesome, nutritious and sturdy compared to the old Weight-Watchers classic lettuce wrap.  And you know its alot better for you than the bread on a Subway sandwich.  (I will stop referencing aggressively marketed weight loss plans now.) 

This idea comes from my friend Tara,
The Healthy Hippie, who has recently started a funny and informative magazine of the same name.   

Prep Time: 10 Minutes
Cooking Time:  4 Minutes
Yield:  2 Servings
Ingredients:

1 Tbsp Tahini
Juice of ½ Lemon
½ Tsp Curry Powder
Pinch of Sea Salt
Assorted Vegetables, raw or lightly steamed if desired
2 Large Collard Green Leaves

Prepare assorted veggies by steaming, if desired.  In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, curry powder, sea salt and a splash of water (just add enough to get a consistency that appeals to you).  Divide the vegetables and tahini mixture between the two collard leaves.  Roll them up like a burrito, folding in the ends if possible.  Heat a pan over medium-high heat and spray with a little olive or canola oil.  Place wraps into the hot pan and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side.  Serve or pack into a lunch-bag for later, keeping wrap closed with a toothpick.
