Yum, Tearty, Spicy Thai Wraps!

Hi Tearty,

 

Feeling like you need a little more iron?

 

Try these Spicy Thai Wraps and absorb more iron than you normally would. How?

 

In the Vegan /Vegetarian Mastery Program, I learned that the iron in plant foods is different than the "heme" iron in animal foods. And normally, you only absorb 10% - 20% of the iron in plant foods.

The good news is this: you can absorb a lot more iron from plant foods when you use a "magic" food combination. Today's recipe employs this combination. Can you guess what it is?

 

To learn more about food combinations that increase mineral absorption, you can subscribe to the email list for The Vegetarian Health Institute. Then you'll receive brief excerpts from their Mastery Program (with no cost or obligation). Just visit www.vegetarianhealthinstitute.com .

Spicy Thai Wraps

Wraps:

6-8 Collard Leaves

Filling:

¼ red or green cabbage, sliced very thin

3 carrots, shredded or julienned

½ bunch cilantro, stems removed

½ bunch mint, leaves sliced into thin strips

2 cups mung bean sprouts

3 cups combination of sunflower, buckwheat, and green pea sprouts

1 red bell pepper, julienned

6 scallions, thinly sliced

Thai Dressing:

¾ cup raw tahini

¼ cup grated ginger

6 Tbs. lemon juice

¼ cup agave nectar

6 Tbs.  tamari

2 cloves garlic

1 cup shredded coconut

1 jalepeno pepper with seeds, chopped

2 cups water

Remove the stems from the collards, or cut the excess bulge of stem from the back of each collard leaf, without cutting into the leaf.

Then use one of these methods to soften them. (1) Lay them flat in the freezer and freeze them overnight, then run them under warm water to defrost. (2) Blanche them like Annemarie Gianni does in this video:

Then use the collard leaves  like tortillas to wrap your filling.

Blend dressing until smooth. You can put the dressing inside or use as a dipping sauce.

The dressing will keep for up to 2 weeks. The salad will keep in a glass jar for up to 4 days.
