Swiss Chard Rolls with Mushroom Filling

 

12 large Swiss chard leaves

 

Filling:

1 cup onions, finely chopped

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon olive oil

1 stalk celery, chopped

1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram

1 cup mushrooms, sliced

1 tablespoon dry sherry

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1/2 teaspoon dried dill

1 pinch thyme

1 cup cooked bulgur or couscous

1 cup cooked brown rice or white rice

2 tablespoon currants or raisins

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

2 large tomatoes, sliced, optional

1 cup tomato juice or V8 juice, optional (use it,

tastes good)

nonfat sour cream or yogurt, optional

 

Remove the stems and tough ribs from the Swiss chard.

Blanch the leaves in boiling water for 3 to 4 minutes,

until pliable. To prepare the filling: saute the

onions and garlic in the oil for 3 minutes. Add the

celery and marjoram, cover and cook on medium heat for

5 to 10 minutes, until the vegetables are softened.

Stir in the mushrooms, sherry, soy sauce, dill and

thyme and simmer until the mushrooms are tender and

juicy. Remove from the heat and stir in the bulgur,

rice, currants and lemon juice. Preheat the oven to

350 degrees. Prepare a 9 x 12 inch baking dish with a

very light coating of oil or cooking spray. Cover the

bottom with the tomato slices and set aside. Place 1/4

cup of the filling in the center of each leaf. Fold

the sides of each leaf toward the center and then roll

it up form the stem end to the tip to form a neat

little package. Place the rolls, seam side down, pour

the tomato juice over them and cover tightly with

foil. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes until heated through.

Serve the rolls with some pan juices spooned over the

top and garnish with the sour cream. Serves 4 to 6.
