Vegetarian Collard Rolls with Rice Pilaf

These vegetarian collard rolls filled with rice pilaf take their cue from dolmades, the traditional Greek parcels of rice, nuts and herbs. Instead of the usual grape leaves, fresh collard leaves become the wrappers.

Spinach and Goat Cheese Upside Down Quiche
