Ingredients
- 12 long, thin carrot spears (1 carrot, peeled)
- 12 medium leaves Chinese (Napa) cabbage (14 ounces) rinsed and left whole
- 12 medium leaves collard greens (14 ounces) rinsed, stems removed
- 1 bunch watercress rinsed, stems trimmed
- Cayenne pepper to taste
- Zest from 1 lemon
DRESSING
- 2 tablespoons flaxseed oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- Sea salt and cracked black pepper
- 2 teaspoons hempseeds, chia seeds or ground flaxseeds
Instructions
- Bring a pot of water to boil and separately blanch each vegetable in the order listed. Cook each until just tender (carrots, 1 minute; cabbage and collards, 30 seconds; watercress, 10 seconds); remove with tongs. Immediately plunge each into ice water to stop cooking. Drain well.
- To assemble rolls, place 2–3 collard leaves on a bamboo sushi mat or tea towel. Top with 2–3 cabbage leaves. Then place a thick strip of watercress and 2 carrot spears on cabbage, closest to you. Sprinkle with cayenne pepper and lemon zest. Roll, jelly-roll style, using the mat or towel as a guide. When completely rolled, squeeze gently to expel excess water and to seal the roll. Lay on a dry cutting board and slice crosswise into 1-inch-thick rounds; arrange on a serving platter.
- Whisk together dressing, adjusting salt and pepper to taste. To eat, dip each roll in sauce and seeds.
