6             leaves collard greens -- blanched
1                cup shredded red cabbage
1             medium carrot -- coarsely grated
1                cup Thai Guacamole -- (see page 102)
1                     red bell pepper -- cored and thinly sliced
2                     scallions -- halved lengthwise (white and green parts)
     1/2           cup cilantro -- a handful, roughly chopped
To make collard wraps, remove the center stems and stack the leaves into a
pile. Trim into 4 x 6-inch rectangles.
Dip collard greens in boiling water for less than 5 seconds and place in
an ice-water bath. Dry with a clean kitchen towel.
On one end of the collard wrap, add a small mound of cabbage and carrot, a
dollop of guacamole, and a couple pieces of red pepper, scallion. and
cilantro. Roll tightly into a thick cigarlike shape and cut down the
middle on a diagonal. Place rolls seam side down on a plate.
MAKES 12 ROLLS
The trick with this recipe is to blanch the collard greens, because it
turns them a vibrant green and makes them easier to roll. To fill the
rolls, you can use any crunchy vegetables you have on hand, including
jicama, daikon, or even green papaya.

1/4 cup finely diced red bell pepper
