Stuffed Chard Rolls – “Not Gender Rolls ” Mint Lime Pea Sauce & Caramelized Carrots
Stuffed Chard Rolls “not gender rolls” stuffed with Hummus topped with Mint Lime Pea Sauce & Caramalized Carrots and a softboiled egg. This was basically our final big dinner before we left home. It includes everything that we loved during the past month, which is the combo of Mint + Peas + Lime – which is super refreshing, the caramelised carrots which are seasoned with our marocain five spice and African honey – which always reminds me of our latest trip. Next to that there has to be Hummus – just because I became way better in making our own and chickpeas are filling and nourishing. Last but not least chard – which grew in our garden for almost 2 months now.
After a crazy week I am leaving Berlin & there are only 2 days left until Moritz heads to Bali – we arrived in the summer mode I would say ! I know compared to Bali, the Mosel region isnt as exciting, but I am very looking forward to spent my time with my mom in the garden. She promised to teach me all about the plants & how to cook them – so look forward for more 😉
For now – enjoy this advanced recipe of the Chard rolls ! ;))
