Time 1h35m

Yield 40 rolls, 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

40 -50 leaves swiss chard leaves
1 cup rice, washed & drained
1/2 cup chickpeas
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
6 green onions
1 cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons dry mint
3/4 cup parsley, finely chopped
water

Steps:

  • Using fresh Swiss Chard, place leaves in hot water for 10 minutes to soften for rolling (if the leaves are too large cut in half).
  • Remove the ribs from the leaf.
  • Set leaves aside.
  • Drain chick peas.
  • Combine the skinned chick peas, half of the lemon juice, and all other ingredients except Swiss Chard and water.
  • Mix well.
  • Place a tablespoon of the filling lengthwise on a leaf bringing the edges about 1/2 inch toward the centre and rolling as fingers.
  • Arrange in saucepan, alternating the direction of each layer.
  • Add the other 1/2 cup lemon juice and enought water to reach just below the level of the last row.
  • Bring to boil, then cover and simmer for 45-60 minutes .
  • All water should have evaporated.
  • If not, remove lid and simmer for a further 10 minutes.
  • Place a plate over top of the pan and holding plate and pot securly together, turn upsidedown so all the rolls remain in the same mold on the plate as the pan.
  • Serve with yogurt.
