Collard Rolls

In a rush?

IMG_3250

Lunch goes like this: grab whatever green leaf you have on hand (although collard greens work best) fill it with a mashed starch (squash or sweet potato), add in avocado and sundried tomatoes (that have been soaking in water for at least an hour), season with salt and pepper and a dollop of mustard, and there you have it. No recipe necessary!

Just watch and learn:

Repeat until full.

Quick bites

I was in a hurry this evening, so in the event of an emergency hungry tummy, I did the stop, drop and roll.

I stopped to look at what I had on hand: olive tapenade, some sun-dried tomatoes soaked in olive oil, fresh tomatoes, scallions, cucumbers and greens. And I simply took the washed leaves, dropped on the goods, rolled ‘em up, and nom nom nom’ed my way to satiation. Then flew out the door.

You know you’re in Turkey when…

…that happens. How red and juicy and sweet and amazing is that!? I am not one to bite into a tomato as if it were an apple, but this guy was unreal.
