STUFFED COLLARD GREENS
Collard greens are great leaves to stuff. They remind me a bit of grape leaves, though they don't need to be brined before you stuff them. Just remove the stems, blanch them, fill and cook like cabbage leaves. I used medium-grain Cal-Rose rice that I bought at my local Iranian market for these; this type of rice is perfect for stuffing grape leaves and vegetables, the package told me, because it doesn't swell when cooking and won't break the leaf.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil while you carefully stem the collard greens, trying to keep the leaves intact. Fill a bowl with ice water. When the water comes to a boil, salt generously and add the collard leaves, in batches. Blanch for 2 minutes and transfer to the ice water. Drain, gently squeeze out excess water and set aside.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil over medium-low heat in a large nonstick skillet and add the onions and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, until the onion is tender but not browned, 5 to 8 minutes. Add the pine nuts and garlic, stir together and add the drained rinsed rice. Stir for a minute or two, until you hear the rice begin to crackle, then remove from the heat. Toss with the herbs, salt and pepper, and 1 tablespoon olive oil. To gauge how much salt you will need, use the amount that you would use when cooking 1 1/4 cups of rice.
- Oil a wide, deep lidded sauté pan or saucepan with olive oil. To fill the leaves, place one on your work surface, vein side up and with the stem end facing you. The leaf may have a big space in the middle where you stemmed it; if it does, pull the two sides of the leaf in toward each other and overlap them slightly. Place about 1 level tablespoon of filling on the bottom center of each leaf. Fold the sides over, then roll up tightly, tucking in the sides as you go. Place in the pan, seam side down, fitting the stuffed leaves in snug layers.
- Whisk together the lemon juice, remaining oil, and tomato paste with 2 tablespoons water. Season to taste with salt. Pour over the rolls. Add enough water to barely cover the rolls and top with a layer of lemon slices if desired. They will add some bitterness to the dish because of the bitter oils in the lemon skin. Invert a plate over the rolls to keep them wrapped and in position, and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cover the pan, turn the heat to low and simmer for 1 hour, at which point the leaves will be tender and the rice cooked. Remove from the heat and carefully remove the stuffed leaves from the water to a platter or to plates with a slotted spoon or tongs. Allow to cool for at least 15 minutes. Taste the liquid left in the pot and adjust seasonings. Serve the rolls warm or at room temperature with the liquid from the pot as a sauce.

Steps:
- In a large skillet set over medium heat, heat 3 tablespoons of the oil until shimmering, about 2 minutes. Add the collards, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and saute until just al dente, about 15 minutes.
- Remove from the skillet and drain, reserving the cooking liquid. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in the same skillet over medium heat until shimmering, 1 minute. Add the drained collards and the sugar. Stir until the sugar begins to caramelize, about 15 minutes. Add some of the reserved liquid to help melt down the sugar as needed. Toss in the red pepper flakes, fully coating the collards before serving.

Steps:
- In a large pot over medium heat, heat oil and butter. Saute the onions until slightly softened, about 2 minutes, then add the red pepper flakes and garlic, cook another minute. Add collard greens and cook another minute. Add the vegetable stock, cover and bring to a simmer. Cook until greens are tender, about 40 minutes. Add tomatoes and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
COLLARDS
Steps:
- Prepare the collards for cooking by cutting the large stems from the center of the leaves. Stack the leaves and cut them crosswise into 1-inch strips
- Put 2 inches of water in a saucepan large enough to hold the raw collards (the leaves can be pushed down tightly and will wilt to about one-quarter volume as they cook). Add the ham hock or pork and bring the water to a boil. Add the collards and toss with tongs until the water returns to a boil and the leaves wilt down into the pan. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer over low heat for 1 hour, or until tender. Stir occasionally, checking to be sure there is enough liquid to prevent scorching. Taste the liquid and add salt if needed. Serve with buttermilk cornbread and hot sauce.

- Use a paring knife to shave off the thick part of the collard green stems. (See photo in the post above to see how to do this.)
- 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.
- 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.)
