Curried Cauliflower Chicken Wrap

Cauliflower rice and cauliflower mashed potatoes are a staple for a lot of Slow Carb/Paleo dieters and this popular side dish is highlighted by Tim Ferriss in the 4 Hour Chef.  Surprisingly this is my first mention of the wonder food but mostly just because I felt that there is already sufficient enough resources on the web about making it.

My introduction to making collard wraps earlier this summer, however, gave me a perfect method to finally include my own spin on a way to use this versatile vegetable.  Once you get a hang of the wrapping technique this should be a piece of cake to pull off a relatively quick and very healthy meal!

 

 

Curried Cauliflower Chicken Wrap

Serves: 6

Ingredients

Instructions

Cut or break apart cauliflower into bite sized pieces and place in large bowl. Add 4 tbl extra virgin olive oil, 2 tbl of curry powder, and 3 minced garlic cloves. I prefer to cook this mixture in an aluminum foil packet on the grill but you could also roast in the oven. On the grill this usually takes about 10-15 minutes turning it in the middle. You want the cauliflower to be cooked through and browned on the outside. While cauliflower is cooking dice the peppers[1] and tomatoes[2] storing them in separate containers.

Once the cauliflower is done begin grilling the chicken (if you have a large enough grill perhaps grilling at the same time is another option). Place the cooked cauliflower in a food processor or blender until the consistency is similar to couscous.

Remove as much of the stems from the collard greens as you can using a paring knife while keeping the leaf in tact. Then finely chop the parsley and store in a small container.

When the chicken is finished cooking dice it into small pieces and build your wraps with 1 large or 2 small collard green leaves, 1/2-1 cup cauliflower, 1/4 lb chicken, 1/2 diced tomato, 1/2 diced pepper. Cover with a thin layer of parsley, roll the leaf into a wrap[3], and slice into 2.
