Crispy, full of taste, chard pinwheels, from the Indian kitchen
מרכיבים
  • 10 medium chard leaves (with as little holes as possible)
  • Olive oil
  • ½ cup cashews
  • ½ cup pine nuts
  • Fresh lemon juice
  • Water (until it reaches the texture of cashew cheese, about ½ cup)
  • ½ tea spoon salt (and you can add any Indian spices here as you like)
  • Red lentils flour (about ¼ cup and more, as needed)
הוראות הכנה
  1. Make the paste: place in a blender the cashews (pre-soaked if your blender is not a high speed one), the pine nuts, salt, and lemon juice, and add the water gradually, until it reaches the texture of spreadable cashew cheese.
  2. Move the cheese to a bowl, and add the red lentils flour (or you can use chickpea flour, or a combination of both), mix well, until it reaches the texture as in the pictures above.
  3. Rinse the leaves and carefully dry them. Add each leaf on a cutting board and cut the wide part of it's spine (see pictures).
  4. Spread olive oil using a brush on the outer side of the leaf (the darker green side), flip it and spread some of the paste on the inner side.
  5. Take another leaf and place it 180 degrees to the previous one (see pictures) and repeat the same process. Continue the same process with about 4-5 leaves (you want to end up with a roll not too thick but not too thin, on's you'll make one you'll understand how many you need exactly according to the size of the leaves you have), roll he leaves together carefully and tightly until you have a tight roll (that holds due to the paste). Create a similar roll using the rest of the leaves.
  6. Steam the rolls for a couple of minutes (I found this to be optional).
  7. Cut the rolls into about 1.5 cm slices and place them with the cut side facing up in a non-stick pan with some olive oil. Cook for a few minutes (until the bottom becomes brown and beautiful), flip and cook the other side until it reaches the same color. Serve immediately.
