Fresh Vegetable Tofu Scramble Collard Green Burrito

Posted byJennifer LynskeyPosted inUncategorized

My CSA has started, yay!  Surveying today’s haul: it’s kohlrabi, red leaf amaranth, peas, spring onions, collard greens, fruit share is strawberries, and I got crimini and shitake mushrooms as add on extras.

I’m determined to plan better to get the most out of the veggies.  I start by looking at what I won’t use and see if I can juice it.  Starting with the peas.  I shelled them –  It took about a half hour while I rewatched the inspiring documentary Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead (Watch it for Free!) – and I’m going to juice the pods.  Not sure how it will work out, but there seems to be a good deal of water in them.

I’m trying to think more raw, but sometimes when I’m hungry, raw just sounds not-so-appealing.  So I took a raw trick – collard green wrapper – and stuffed it with my cooked veggie and tofu scramble.

I sautéed a sliced spring onion and one chopped shitake in annato oil, then added a handful of chopped amaranth and about a 1/3 cup of crumbled tofu with some turmeric and taco seasoning.  I put one collard green leaf on top of the scramble in the pan, then topped with a lid and turned off the heat and left it for about a minute.  This softens it up, but it still holds together so the filling doesn’t leak through when you roll it up like a burrito and eat it.  I then topped it with a radish pico de gallo (from my Sweet Grass leftovers below) and some homemade cashew cream and hot sauce.   
I also ate at Sweet Grass (yes, again) last night and got amazing vegan roasted garlic soup and a setian quesadilla.

I’m really excited they have so many vegan options, both on the regular menu and the specials.  I’m especially psyched for all the new seitan dishes they’ve had recently.  The chipotle sauce was also fantastic (and spicy) but they didn’t pack it up with my leftovers, so sadly I’ll have to make due with my own.  The radish pico de gallo was also surprisingly refreshing (hence topping my scramble with it) so I’ll have to try something like that when we get radish in the CSA.

  1. Yum!! That wrap sounds delicious. I've never seen fresh amaranth! Also, we have a restaurant called Sweet Grass in Memphis. But it's not very vegan-friendly. 😦
