Ingredients
  • 1 Bunch Swiss Chard, stems removed (Keep the leaves whole but dice the stems)
  • 1 Plum Tomato, Diced
  • 1 Medium Red Onion, Diced
  • 10 Dried Shitake Mushrooms, soaked in warm water for at least 10 minutes then chopped
  • 3 Cloves Garlic, Minced
  • 1 bunch Chives, Chopped Small for garnish
  • 1 Cup Quinoa Cooked
  • ½ tsp Ground Ginger
  • ½ tsp Dried Thyme
  • ½ tsp Dried Rosemary
  • ¼ tsp Ground Coriander
  • ¼ tsp Red Pepper
  • ½ tsp Black Pepper
  • ¼ tsp Salt
  • Tahini for topping
Instructions
  1. Cook the quinoa as per the manufacturer’s directions. Soak the Dried mushrooms in warm water and wash and prepare all fresh produce.
  2. After washing the swiss chard remove the long stems from the leaves. Mince the stems and set aside. Separate the leaves that are too small for wraps and chop them into large strips. Save the leaves that are large, these will become your wraps.
  3. Over medium heat add a small amount of olive oil to a deep sided frying pan. Sauté the onion, garlic and swiss chard stems until onions are fragrant and becoming translucent. About 5 minutes
  4. Drain water from the mushrooms and chop them into strips. Add them to the pan along with all of the dry spices. Stir to incorporate.
  5. Add the Chopped swiss chard leaves, tomato and quinoa. Stir frequently and cook for an additional 2-4 minutes to wilt the swiss chard.
  6. Lay out the large swiss chard leaves on serving plates and spoon the filling into the center of each leaf. Top with tahini and chives and serve. We recommend wrapping them like a burrito but we usually serve them open and allow each person to wrap their own.
