Kickin' Chipotle Swiss Chard Roll Ups!

What to do with all that wonderful Swiss Chard???

Our CSA shares have included Chard the last two weeks and I know there is more to come.  Many folks are not familiar with this colorful leafy veggie, so I would like to offer some ideas.  You can also check  my previous post... Cheezy Garlicky Swiss Chard

                               Kickin' Chipotle Swiss Chard Roll Ups

 Oh my, these are wonderfully delicious.

Early this morning I thought I'd make some kind of sunflower seed cheese.  So this afternoon

I decided that I would create one...how hard could it be?????   

This cheeses is so good I will be making it again.

Chipotle Sunflower Seed Cheese

In a glass mason jar:

1 c. raw sunflower seeds

cover with water and allow them to soak for several hours

drain, rinse, drain again

place in a Vita-Mix or food processor

add:

3 cloves of garlic

Himalayan salt to taste

Mrs. Dash Southwest Chipolte~no measurements..

my lid fell off as I was shaking it

add enough lemon juice to blend

Blend until smooth

This Cheese will make anything taste good, so if you are not fond of the strong flavor of Chard

make the cheese hot and roll it up!

Chipotle Seed Cheese

chopped up stems of the chard leaves (waste nothing)

cilantro

zuchinni and carrot noodles (leftovers from Pasta Marinara)

tomatoes

spread your cheese on the wide end of the chard leaf add toppings of your choice and roll up!!

Use whatever toppings you and your family prefer...be creative

You can also make a wrap with romaine leaves, collards, cabbage or whatever leafy green you have

The Cheese is good for a dip for veggies or crackers

Before rolling

Get your greens on...eat them raw as often as possible...they are nutritional powerhouses!
