kb0426 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Sometimes and idea works, and you just have to share it! I have seen the concept of swiss chard as a wrap before. but had never attempted it. In an effort to get more leafy greens in my life, I figured now is as good a time as any! I washed the leaves, then cut off the stems. I then steamed them in my steamer basket for 2 minutes. This made them pliable. Pliable. Does not make them sound good, does it? Anyways, I then layered with roast beef (compliant of course), homemade mayo, avocado smeared in, and julienned carrots. I then rolled them up tight. They were not as messy as I expected them to be! The swiss chard held together beautifully! I did bloop a bit of mayo on the plate . Really good and I.am.stuffed. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan W Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 I can't get enough of rainbow chard right now. I may make a sushi type roll. I have a head of cauli that I need to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaileo Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I saw a burrito-ish version of this on pinterest which caught my eye (I live in San Diego and am sort of missing burritos). Glad to hear it worked, I will have to give it a try! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
