Collard greens are extremely nutritious. They are an excellent source of bone-building calcium. A cup of cooked collard greens contains 268 mg. of calcium. Besides calcium, they provide important minerals such as iron, copper, manganese, magnesium, selenium, and zinc. They contain very high levels of vitamin K, which plays an important role in bone health. Collards are also rich in vitamin A, vitamin C, and a good source of vitamin E. These are only a few of the many health benefits of collard greens.

Ingredients:

  • 6 large collard leaves
  • 1 avocado (sliced)
  • 2 carrots – chopped
  • ¼ head of green cabbage –chopped
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • Pieces of cooked chicken ,shrimp, sardines, or beans

Optional ingredients:

  • ½ to 1 cup diced sweet potatoes
  • ½ to 1 cup chopped zucchini

Directions:

  • Remove the center vein of each collard leaf
  • Steam or boil the leaves for 2-3 minutes
  • Sauté vegetables in coconut oil, ghee, or olive oil (low heat if using olive oil)
  • Sauté  sweet potatoes first because they will take a little longer to cook
  • Put ingredients and dipping sauce (below) on collard greens
  • Roll them up and they are ready to eat.

Note from Margie: These are my favorite vegetables to use, but the recipe works with most vegetables
