How do you make collard greens more pliable to roll?
Collards are a rather stiff leafy green. With that in mind, before building your wrap, remove the stem with a sharp knife and blanch each collard in simmering hot water. Finally, cook for 1-2 minutes or until it becomes flexible. Get rid of any excess water. Now you are ready to go!
