Goat Cheese, Lentil & Brown Rice Rolls

Goat Cheese, Lentil & Brown Rice Rolls

I have never bought or used Swiss chard leaves in my life—so this was a first.  THAT alone was an experiment for me in and of itself.

Have you ever tasted chard?!  Blech!

Goat Cheese, Lentil & Brown Rice Rolls

Made with Swiss chard leaves, cooked lentils, short grain brown rice, goat cheese, fresh chopped garlic, baby arugula, fresh chopped mint, olive oil, and salt & pepper; topped with marinara sauce and Parmesan cheese.

Once the product was actually finished, it was surprisingly edible.  The sauce and cheese really helped GREATLY with the Swiss chard taste that’s for sure!  I’d definitely make this again and it’s great for vegetarians.
