Ingredients
3 cups water
1 1/2 cups quinoa
1/4 cup dried currants
3 tbsp Madras curry paste
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup grated carrots
1 cup grated beets
3 tbsp cider vinegar
4 large leaves collard greens, large stems removed
1 avocado, pitted and cut into thin wedges
Instructions
BRING water to a boil in a large saucepan. Stir in quinoa, currants, curry paste and 1/8 tsp salt. Reduce heat to medium. Gently boil, covered, until quinoa is tender, about 12 min. Remove from heat and fluff with a fork. Set aside for 10 min.
STIR carrot with beet in a medium bowl. Add vinegar and remaining 1/8 tsp salt until combined.
LAY a collard green on a cutting board. Spoon quinoa mixture along the bottom edge, then top with carrot and beet slaw and avocado slices. Lift bottom edge over filling, then roll toward the centre. Fold in sides, then continue rolling into a tight log. Set seam-side down on a platter. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Slice rolls in half to serve.
