FEATURED RECIPE: Swiss Chard Rolls
1/2 cup Orzo (rice shaped pasta)1 large bunch Swiss Chard (1.25 pounds)
3 large carrots (1 shredded, 2 diced)
1 medium sized onion (diced)
1 pound ground beef or turkey
1 cube chicken bouillon
1T flour
1 1/4 cups half-and-half
Butter, Salt, Dried Marjoram Leaves
1. Cook Orzo or Rice, set aside.
2. Trim stems of chard, removing hard sections. Set aside 8 leaves, trimming the ribs very thinly. Coarsely chop remaining leaves and stems.
3. In a 12" skillet over medium heat, melt 2T butter, then add onions. Sweat for a minute, then add shredded carrots, sauté an additional 2 minutes, then add greens and cook, stirring regularly, until tender, about 10 minutes.
4. Let cool, then mix vegetables in a large bowl with the orzo, 1t salt, 1/2t marjoram and uncooked ground beef or turkey.
5. On the center of each large chard leaf, place 1/8th of the meat mixture. Fold the left and right sides of the leaves around the meat towards the center, then take the side closest to you and roll up into a tight package.
6. In the skillet, add the bouillon and 1 cup hot water and stir until bouillon is dissolved. Place rolls seam-side down in the liquid. Raise heat to high until the braising liquid boils, then reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
7. When rolls are done, remove with slotted spoon and place in a covered dish. Reserve braising liquid.
8. In a 2 quart saucepan over medium heat, in 1T butter, cook diced carrots until tender. Whisk in flour, 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp marjoram until a roux is formed. Gradually whisk in half-and-half and reserved braising liquid, then cook, stirring constantly, until sauce thickens and is smooth.
9. Put rolls on plates and spoon sauce over rolls. Makes 4 main-dish servings, about 655 calories per serving.
10. Enjoy!
