Rainbow rolls – healthy green side dish

December 4, 2015 af Jane Faerber Leave a Comment

Rainbow rolls - healthy green side dish. Recipe here: MyCopenhagenKitchen.com

The trick for getting kids to eat just about anything is to either roll it or to put it on a stick. The trick is universal. But guess what?! It goes for adults too!

Sometimes I get really tired of how I eat my veggies, especially for lunch. I’m usually in a hurry and just slice them up and eat them like that. No fuzz, no fun. But it takes so little effort to roll them in a cabbage leaf. Really, the job is practically the same and see what you get instead.

Often I make the fresh green spring rolls with pointed cabbage but this time, all I had was savoy cabbage. Savoy cabbage has somewhat stiffer leaves and they’re a bit harder to roll but the result still came out delicious.

I would have added avocado to the rolls but I opened no less then four avocados that were all brown inside. Not every day is a perfect avocado day, I guess.

If you’re thinking that my humus looks very yellow, it’s because I added some fresh turmeric to it.

SERVES 1 PERSON

  • 2 leaves of savoy cabbage
  • 1 carrot
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • some pointed cabbage (mine was the purple kind)
  • some humus (or dip of your choice)

DIRECTIONS

1. Wash the savoy cabbage under running water and pad them dry.

2. Slice or cut all the vegetables finely using either a sharp knife or a julienne.

3. Spread out a layer of humus on each savoy leaf and place your veggies on top. Roll them both to thick rolls. Close them with a tooth pick or eat them by holding them in your hand.

4. Serve the rest of the veggies with humus or you chosen dip. Serve as a side dish for white meat or fish for a complete meal.
