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!

Chicken Shawarma Collard Wraps with Yogurt Dill sauce
Ingredients
- 1 lb cooked shawarma chicken
- 6-7 medium-sized collard leaves stems removed and blanched
- 1 cucumber skins and seeds removed, small dice
- 1 onion thinly sliced
- 2 tomatoes small dice
- ½ cup thin-sliced purple cabbage
- 2 cups lightly packed baby arugula (optional)
DILL TAHINI YOGURT DRESSING
- ½ cup whole milk yogurt
- 2 tbsp tahini
- ¼ tsp onion powder
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp packed, chopped dill
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ¼ tsp coarse black pepper or to taste
- 1 lime
Instructions
MAKE THE TAHINI YOGURT DRESSING
- In a mixing bowl, add the juice of the lime, yogurt, tahini, all the spices, salt and pepper, chopped dill and mix well. Set aside.
PREP COLLARDS
- Blanch the collard leaves
- Cut off the thick stems of each leaf. Place a skillet with about 2 inches of water over a simmer. Add the collard leaves one at a time. Once pliable (about 2-3 minutes), transfer each leave to a plate lined with a paper towel to help dry them off. Now let’s put it all together.
PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER
- Lay your leave flat with the veins pointing inwards. Smear the yogurt tahini down as the first layer. Next, add the chicken, then add all of your desired vegetables, and an extra drizzle of the dill yogurt tahini sauce (optional). Finally, roll the collard like a burrito.
- To serve, I like to slice the collard wrap down the middle to expose what’s inside.
- Enjoy Immediately.
