"As I was looking at the Swiss Chard growing in the garden and saw the lovely large leaves, I was thinking of how to use them. I thought that I could come up with a filling and use them like cabbage rolls. I used quinoa and black beans but you can switch up the grain & bean to your liking. Same with the spices. I am going to try it next time with madras curry or garam masala in place of the cumin."

Step by Step Method
Step 1

Step 3
Cover and heat through.
Step 4
Taste for seasoning and remove from heat.
Step 5
Preheat oven to 350F.
Step 6
To make rolling easier, place chard leaves in plastic bag and microwave for a few seconds; or cut down a few inches on each side of the stem and remove.
Step 7
Place a chard leaf on a cutting board and put about 1/3 - 1/2 cup of filling on the bottom part of the leaf (estimate the amount you think the leaf can hold).
Step 8
Holding the leaf together, carefully roll the leaf around the filling (like cabbage rolls).
Step 9
Place in casserole dish.

Repeat this with rest of the leaves until you have used up all the filling.
