Build Your Own Nirvana Tacos
Recipe type: Main Dish
Serves: 4 serving
 
Ingredients
  • 8 collard leaves
  • 1 1/2 pounds opah or other local, wild fish filet
  • 1 bunch pink radishes, grated
  • 2 medium carrots, grated
  • Grilled veggies: zucchini, yellow squash, peppers, onions
  • Pico de Gallo (Salsa Fresca)
  • Chopped onion (any color – purple is pretty)
  • Chopped cilantro (stems included)
  • Sliced avocado
  • Live fermented sauerkraut. (link to recipe) SHORTCUT: use store bought organic kraut (We love Farmhouse Culture brand smoked jalapeño flavor and Wildbrine smoky kale)
Instructions
  1. Remove and de-rib the collard stems (this means using a small sharp knife to carefully shave off the bumpy vein that runs down the center of the leaf to yield a nice flat surface that is easy to fill, fold and munch).
  2. Salt the fish filet, coat it in coconut oil and add a little chopped garlic (optional); grill and squeeze lime juice at the end (Optional: marinate seafood or meat ahead in salt, coconut oil, garlic and lime juice)
  3. Lay down a prepared collard leaf on a clean surface.
  4. Fill with fish, grated and/ or cooked veggies, salsa, cilantro, onion, avocado or guacamole and any optional ingredients.
  5. Fold the collard leaf in half and eat like a taco! Have a napkin handy. Drips are part of the fun!
