How to Make

  • Step 1: Heat oil in large skillet and add chopped onion and chard stems; sauté for a few minutes, stirring occasionally.

  • Step 2: Add the garlic, pepper flakes, quinoa, beans, spices and salt & pepper; stir well.

  • 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.

  • Step 10: Repeat this with rest of the leaves until you have used up all the filling.

  • Step 11: Combine the two sauces together or use a sauce of your choice, and spoon over the rolls.

  • Step 12: Cover and bake for 15 minutes, reduce heat to 300F and bake for another 15 minutes or until they are bubbling around the edges and heated throughout.
