Ingredients

• 2 bunches fresh chard leaves
• 2 artichoke hearts (diced)
• 1 cup baldo rice
• 1 large onion (finely chopped)
• 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
• Juice and zest of 1 orange
• 1 bunch fresh dill (chopped)
• 1 tsp granulated sugar and salt
• 1.5 cups warm water

Method

1. Blanch chard leaves in boiling water for 1 minute, transfer to cold water, and remove thick stems.
2. Sauté onion in olive oil until translucent, add rinsed rice and diced artichokes, and sauté for a few minutes.
3. Add orange zest, sugar, salt, dill, and 1/2 cup water; cook on low heat until rice absorbs the liquid.
4. Place filling onto the center of each chard leaf and roll tightly.
5. Arrange the rolls in a pot, drizzle with orange juice, remaining olive oil, and 1 cup water.
6. Cover with a small plate, simmer on low heat for about 35 minutes, rest at room temperature before serving.

Since chard leaves are very tender, keep the blanching time short to prevent tearing.
