Time 1h10m

Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 bunch rainbow Swiss chard, stems and leaves separated
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 shallots, minced (2 tablespoons)
1 pound cremini mushrooms, stems trimmed and finely chopped
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
3 ounces Parmesan, finely grated (1/2 cup)
1/2 cup creme fraiche
2 large eggs, lightly beaten

Steps:

  • Reserve 6 longest chard stems; thinly slice remaining stems (you should have 2 cups).
  • Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high. Add shallots and mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Add sliced chard stems; season with salt and pepper. Cook until tender, stirring frequently, about 1 minute. Stir in cheese, creme fraiche, and eggs.
  • Prepare a large ice-water bath. Blanch chard leaves and reserved stems in a pot of boiling water until just tender and color brightens, about 2 minutes. Transfer to ice bath to cool; drain on kitchen towels.
  • For each bundle, place 1/4 cup mushroom mixture on a chard leaf. Fold sides in toward middle; roll up. Thinly slice each blanched chard stem into 4 pieces; use 2 to tie each bundle.
  • In batches, arrange bundles, seam-sides down, in a single layer in a steamer basket set in a pan of simmering water. Cover and steam until warmed through, 6 to 8 minutes a batch; serve.

The chard leaves were a bit tough, even after cooking them for the recommended time. I think I would blanch them before using them next time.

These were a bit too oily for my taste. I think I would try baking them next time instead of frying them.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think it could use more seasoning.

These were easy to make and very tasty. I used a store-bought marinara sauce and it worked out great.

These were delicious! I used a mixture of swiss chard and spinach, and they turned out great. I also added a bit of feta cheese to the filling.

These Swiss chard bundles were a hit! The filling was flavorful and the chard leaves were tender and delicious. I served them with a side of roasted potatoes and a green salad, and it was a perfect meal.
