Instructions

  • Prepare Yumbini with 3/4 cup water according to package directions and set aside.

    Yumbini makes veggies friendly.
  • When the water is boiling, drop the trimmed leaves into the water, boil for one to two minutes.
    Yumbini makes eating unusual vegetables like collards fun and delicious!
  • Drain the boiling water and immediately add cold water to the pot to cool the leaves.
  • Place one leaf at a time, vein side up on the counter. Put 1/8th to 1/6th of the Yumbini (two or three spoonsful) on the leaf, just above the spot where you trimmed out the stem.
    Healthy veggies plus healthy beans and rice!
  • If desired, add other thinly sliced vegetables, laying horizontal.
  • Fold the two bottom "tails" up, then fold in the sides and roll forward to make a nice packet.
    Roll burrito style!
  • Continue until you have all the Yumbini rolled up in the collard leaves.
    It looks and tastes impressive, but only two healthy ingredients: Yumbini and collard greens.
  • If you plan to serve the Collard Rolls cold, you are done! Serve whole or cut in half using a serrated knife and serve open side up for dramatic effect.
    Yumbini is delicious hot or cold.
  • To heat the Collard Rolls, place in a steamer basket in a pot with about an inch of water in the bottom.
