carrot bundles tied with collard green ribbons

October 20, 2013 • Nancy Wolfson-Moche

My children love making – and eating – these quick carrot bundles. They are rich in calcium, potassium and Vitamin A.

INgredients

4 small carrots

1 large collard green leaf

pinch sea salt

1-2 teaspoons Eden shake (sesame and sea vegetable seasoning)

Process

Wash the carrots and collard green leaf separately.  Slice the carrots in half  lengthwise,

and then slice each half into three sticks.

Set aside. Put about 2 inches of water in a medium sized stainless steel skillet; add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Drop the collard green leaf into the water;

when it turns a brighter shade of green, remove it from the water with a mesh skimmer. Slice the collard leaf into inch-wide strips, lengthwise, parallel to the “spine” of the leaf.

Place about 5 of the carrot sticks in a bundle on top of a collard strip.

Carefully wrap the (delicate) collard strip around the carrots, and tie it.

Icing on the Cake: Testimonials

I loved Ms. Nancy’s cooking class so much.! I have been in this cooking class for two years and I would love to sign up for another one. I tried a lot of new foods like winter squash, cardamom, Brussels sprouts and kale. My favorite salad was the kiwi, carrot, radish salad.
Not only did we cook and eat, we also did labs about food. We used rulers to measure the size of plants. We also explored stone fruits and their ripe season. Now in my house we have window boxes and I am growing cherry tomatoes and basil.
I learned that we can use a lot of different tools to cook, not just our hands and senses. We used safety knives, potato peelers and a carrot sharpener (I wonder if you could sharpen a pencil with it?) !!!
Because of this class I can help papi make dinner and I will try any new food at least once to see if I like it. Thank you, Ms. Nancy for making cooking fun and interesting and helping me be excited about food.

- Love, K (a 7-year-old boy).
