FOR THE DIP
- 100 ml Plant-based Yogurt
- 2 tbsp Mint (freshly minced)
- ½ tsp Sea Salt
- ¼ tsp Black Pepper
Instructions
- Cook the soaked fava beans in a pot of water for 5-6 minutes, drain the water, and coarsely mash the beans.
- Slice the stems off the chard leaves.
- Cut off the end of the stems and dice them finely. Set aside.
- To prepare the leaves, you need to fill a container with boiling water, another with ice-cold water, and a drip tray.
- Submerge the leaves into the boiling water for 2-3 minutes, then immediately transfer them to the ice-cold water and finally allow them to drip for 5 minutes. Pat them dry with a clean cloth or paper towel.
- Heat up 2 tbsp oil in a pan, and fry the ginger and garlic followed by the onions and chili.
- Add the sliced chard stems, salt, turmeric, paprika, tomato puree, cinnamon, nutmeg, bulgur, mashed fava beans, and raisins and mix everything until combined well.
- Turn the heat off and mix in the mint, sunflower seeds, and maple syrup. Allow the mix to cool down for 10 minutes.
- To fill a leaf, lay it down on a flat surface with the tip facing towards you. Transfer about 2-3 tbsp of the mixture onto the leaf and start rolling it up tightly from the bottom, then the sides, and finally roll it all up and then tuck the edge under the roll. Repeat for all the leaves.
- For the dip, mix the yogurt, mint, salt and pepper in a bowl. Enjoy!
