Fresh & Local

Just wanted to share some pics of our local farm where we get our veggies. The farmers are friends of ours who are an inspiration to eat fresh and local!

Collard Wraps

I have made cabbage wraps a few times and I wanted to switch it up a bit, especially after I saw these beauties!

Collards from our favorite farm! They had a variety but these looked like the easiest to work with for wrapping.

Super easy to make and they were delish.

I cut the stem out of the leaves and placed a handful of the meat mixture in one half of the leaves, rolled and place into a baking dish.

Then I made a super simple sauce to put over the top.

Bake at 375° for 30-35 mins

Meat mixture...
I used 1lb ground chicken and 1lb ground beef
Coriander
Salt
Pepper
Worcestershire sauce
2 eggs

Sauce....
1 pint cherry tomatoes
4 large garlic cloves
1 red bell pepper
Olive oil (1/2 cup)
Pinch of salt
Pinch of pepper

After the meat is all mixed, place into one half of the collard leaves, wrap and place into baking dish. (I am terrible at measuring so season how you like it...if you really enjoy seasoned food add a 2-3 tsp of each seasoning, if you prefer mild seasoned food, start with just one tsp added to the meat mixture.)

For the sauce I just put everything in a jar and used an immersion blender, use what you have...blender, food processor or immersion blender. Then just pour over all the rolls.

Cover dish with foil and bake.

If you want you could serve this with some rice or mashed  potatoes...we ate it as is and it was amazing!

Hope you hit up your local farmers market or veggie stand while they are still open!
