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.

These bundles are a great way to use up leftover rice or quinoa. I also like to add some chopped nuts or seeds for extra crunch.

These Swiss chard bundles were a delightful surprise! The combination of flavors and textures was perfect, with the chard's bitterness balanced out by the sweet potatoes and tangy tomatoes. I'll definitely be making these again!
