Awesomest stuffed chard ever

August 25th, 2007 @ 10:32

So, your suggestions sucked, big time! Haha, only kidding, they seemed quite tasty actually but I made something much much better. It’s like an orgasm in your mouth (and trust me you DO want to know what that tastes like!).

Now, hear me out. This recipe is not the simplest ever but it might just be the tastiest god damn thing you have ever had on your plate, and I’m not only saying that because I made it up, it actually is! Served with buttery mashed potatoes and a sauce that’s just to die for, some maple and soy sauce glazed asparagus. I’m in heaven!

Chard/Mangold dolmas with awesome stuff!

Well, are you going to make it?

Awesomest stuffed chard in history:

  • a bunch of chard
  • 1 dl (½ cup) quinoa
  • 2 dl (1 cup) vegetable stock
  • 1 bell pepper
  • 1 small sweet potato (I have seen sweet potatoes the size of a fist, and ones the size of a small head)
  • 1 small onion
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp thyme
  • ½tsp marjoram
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 dl (½ cup) stock + 1 tbsp tomato paste

Turn oven on to 200 C (390 F). Rinse quinoa in hot water and put into a pan, add vegetable stock and bring to a boil. Boil for about 12-15 minutes.

Chop up the sweet potato and the bell pepper and pop them in the oven to roast.

Cut of the leaves from the stems of the chard, reserving the stems. Boil leaves in water for about a minute to make them softer and greener. Rinse the stems and finely chop the nice bit of them, the most coarse bit near the bottom is no good.

Chop onion finely and mince garlic. Sauté with finely chopped chard stems until soft and somewhat transparent. Strain away any excess water and add the quinoa when it’s finished boiling. Take the roasted vegetables out of the oven when they’re ready, this should be about the same time as the quinoa is (they take about 15 minutes). Chop them up a bit more and add to the pan. Season with thyme and marjoram, salt and pepper.

Take a leaf of chard and put about 2 tbsp of filling on it. Roll it up into a compact roll and put in an oven safe dish. Mix a little vegetable stock with a tablespoon of tomato paste and pour over the rolls. Put in the oven for about 20 minutes, covered with tinfoil.

Serve with mashed potatoes and the best damn gravy you know.

  10. Yes! I do want to make the awesomest chard ever! the colors on that photo look so bright and vibrant.

    Emmy, you and I share SAD in common, unfortunately. The first year I moved to Syracuse, I didn’t realize it and had the toughest winter ever. Now, I know to take precautions, and it’s more bearable. But I still hate winter for the most part. Bah.
