Sushi from Collard Greens!

I was recently asked to repost and include the recipe for Sushi made from Collard Greens.  I am more than happy to comply.  These are easy to make and absolutely delicious.  A whole foods, Plant based diet is fun and flavorful.  The more veggies you eat, the more weight you will lose (if you need to).

Select a nice bunch to large collard greens.  The bigger leaves are the better ones to use for obvious reasons.  If you don't have a bamboo rolling mat get one.  They are available from Whole Foods or other markets.

Put about a half inch of water in the bottom of a large skillet.  Bring it to a boil.  Place the collard greens in the skillet, cover and steam for about 30 seconds to a minute.  They will come out nicely supple and easy to roll.  The picture above was taken with my iPhone.

Cook about 2 cups of short grain brown rice; set aside.  It will become sticky (much more than long grain brown rice.)  Next cook your veggies.  Your choice.  Cucumber sliced length wise with the seeds removed can be used raw.  Cook lengths of carrots, avocado red pepper, asparagus, etc. Add avocado  (if you don't have CAD).   Roll them up and slice with a very sharp knife.  Serve with Wasabi and soy sauce.  Enjoy!
