Wash the chard leaves, cut them into short strips, and simmer them in a large pot with plenty of water for about 20 minutes. Drain the cooking water and rinse the chard leaves again with water. While the chard is cooking, finely chop the onion, garlic, and ginger. Heat the coconut oil in a large pot. Add the onion, garlic, and ginger and let it soften. Then add the sesame seeds and lentils and cover with water. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 15 minutes, until the water is almost gone. Then add the curry, salt, and the drained chard and mix well. Transfer this chard and lentil mixture to an ovenproof dish. Cover with slices of goat cheese. Bake in a preheated oven at 180-200°C for about 15-20 minutes, until the goat cheese has melted and turned a nice color. This dish requires no side dish.
