Ingredients
Scale
½ cup cashew butter
2 cloves garlic, grated or very finely minced
4 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon curry powder, or to taste
½ teaspoon sea salt, or to taste
½ teaspoon freshly ground pepper, or to taste
Hot water, as needed for thinning the sauce
15-ounce can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
¼ cup finely chopped red onion
¼ cup finely chopped celery
4 large collard leaves
½ cup shredded red cabbage, divided
¼ cup cashews, roughly chopped; divided
¼ cup chopped cilantro, divided
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine all sauce ingredients (except the water) and whisk or stir to combine. Add hot water gradually until desired consistency is reached.
In a large bowl, smash the chickpeas with a fork, leaving some chunks for texture.
Add red onion, celery, and 1/3 cup of the sauce to the smashed chickpeas. Mix well and adjust salt to taste.
Remove the thick stem from each collard leaf using a paring knife. Soften the leaves by placing them in a bowl of freshly boiled water for 1 minute, then drain and rinse with cool water.
Lay a collard leaf flat and spread one-quarter of the chickpea filling onto the leaf. Repeat with remaining leaves and filling.
Evenly sprinkle each filled collard with shredded cabbage, cashews, and cilantro.
Roll up the collard leaves tightly like a burrito, folding in the sides as you go.
Slice each wrap in half and serve with reserved sauce for dipping.
Notes
Soften extra collard leaves in case of tearing.
Adjust seasoning to taste during preparation.
Ensure not to overstuff the wraps for better rolling.
