Meatless Monday: African Collard Stir-fry

I love me some collards! There are so many ways to cook them and they make the greatest wrap instead of using a tortilla (cooked or raw). Check out this video of Seitan-stuffed Collard Greens to see how easy it is to make a wrap from collards!

Today’s Meatless Monday recipe is a beautiful and tasty dish using collards that is my take on a traditional African dish.
