I simplified my recipe to highlight the flavor of the chard leaves. The best thing about cooking is that you can continue to modify recipes to fit your needs, and supplies, at the moment. Be creative!
My blank canvas was my large chard leaf ... Today I filled it with ground turkey, sage, brown rice, and ground flax seeds. I baked it in the oven for 30 minutes.
Ingredients:
Large chard leaves (broccoli work too) I used BOTH red and green chard
1 pound ground turkey
1 cup uncooked brown rice
1/2 cup sage
1/2 cup ground flax seed
1/2 cup low sodium vegetable or beef broth in bottom of baking dish
Non Stick aluminum foil to cover (allows dish to steam)
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350
Harvest and wash chard
Combine meat, rice, sage, and ground flax seed in a bowl
Use a spoon to place meat mixture in leaves and fold (you customize the portion)
Place in a baking dish
Add liquid and cover with non stick aluminum foil
Bake/steam for 30 minutes ... check to make sure cooked through as all oven temps differ
Enjoy with a side of gluten free bread!
