Provided by: Captain
Total time: 140 minutes
Cook time: 120 minutes
Prep time: 20 minutes
Yields: 22 servings
Cuisine: American,Southern
Number of ingredients: 7
Ingredients:
  • 3 cloves garlic (finely diced)
  • 1/2 yellow onion (about 7 ounces diced)
  • 8 ounces bacon (hickory smoke cut into 1.5 inch pieces)
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 1/2 cup chicken stock
  • 3 bunches collard green (between 1 1/2 to 2 pounds destemed and cut into strips)
  • dry red wine
How to cook:
  1. If your collards are not already cut up then you have to remove the thick part of the stem and cut into strips. This is clearly demonstrated in the video if you've never cut up collards before. Wash them thoroughly.
  2. In a large pot over medium low heat add the bacon, cooking until halfway done. Next add the onion. Cook until bacon is crisp and onion begins to brown around the edges.
  3. Add the garlic allowing to saute for 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant. Then add the paprika and crushed red pepper. Cook for 30 seconds stirring continuously being careful to not burn the paprika. Quickly deglaze with a dry red wine. I use a cabernet.
  4. Add the apple cider vinegar, chicken stock, and collards. If collards are to the top of the pot, cover and allow to wilt down for about ten minutes. Stir thoroughly, cover and reduce heat to low.
  5. It will take 1 to 2 hours to finish cooking. Stir periodically. If liquid levels fall too low add extra water or chicken stock. When tender add salt and black pepper to taste and serve.

  2. Lay out the collard leaves and spread 2 tablespoons (30 grams) cauliflower hummus on each, leaving a 1-inch (2.5 centimeter) border without it, so that it doesn't seep out. Top with cucumbers, bell peppers, red onions, tomatoes, and avocado, in that order. Place all the veggies lengthwise in the same direction, perpendicular to the length of the leaf.
  3. Wrap the collard green wraps, starting with the wide side. Fold in the ends first and then roll up like a burrito. (You'll want to roll parallel to the way the veggies are cut and laid out.)
  4. Place seam side down and repeat with the remaining collard wraps.
