Ingredients

Main ingredients

  • 2 cups uncooked quinoa

  • 4 tablespoons Gefen Olive Oil

  • 12 cloves garlic

  • 2 red onions, diced

  • 4 and 1/2 cups baby bella mushrooms

  • 4 bell peppers, diced

  • 4 cups spinach

  • 2 tablespoons cumin

  • 1 tablespoon Gefen Cinnamon

  • salt, to taste

  • 16 leaves Swiss chard 

Directions

Prepare the Quinoa Filling

1.

Place the uncooked quinoa in a medium size pot with four cups of cold water. Lightly salt the mixture. Bring the quinoa to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cover and cook until all the water evaporates.

2.

In the meantime mince the garlic, dice the onions, mushrooms and peppers and chiffonade the spinach.

3.

In a large frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and onions and cook until fragrant. Add the mushrooms and peppers, cover the pan and cook until the mixture softens, about five to seven minutes. Stir frequently.

4.

Lastly, add in the spinach. Cover and cook until the spinach wilts. Remove from heat.

5.

Add the cooked quinoa to the pan with the vegetable mixture. Add the cumin and cinnamon and stir to combine. Taste and adjust salt as needed.

Prepare the Swiss Chard Leaves

1.

Bring a large pot of water to a boil.

2.

Clean the swiss chard leaves and use a knife to remove the stems.

3.

Gently drop the leaves, two at a time, into the boiling water and cook for 30 seconds. Remove the leaves and gently run under cold water. Pat dry with paper towels, taking care not to rip the leaves. Repeat with the remaining leaves.

Notes:

When picking swiss chard leaves, make sure you pick ones that are fully intact and aren’t ripped or don’t have holes in them.

Wrap

1.

When all the leaves are ready, lay the swiss chard on your work surface and place one or two large spoonfuls of quinoa at the front of the wrap. Fold the sides in and then roll tightly. Repeat with the remaining leaves.
