Stuffed Swiss Chard

One of my favorite sides. Really this can be eaten as a whole meal if you so desire. Healthy and satisfying!

• One bunch Rainbow Swiss Chard
• One bunch Green Onions, chopped
• 1/2 pint cherry or grape tomatoes, whole
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1-2 large shallots, diced
• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella (or fresh balls) 
• Salt
• Pepper
• Olive oil 

Preheat oven to 350. Steam the Chard in a large pot. Remove after Chard has become wilted, lay individual pieces out flat on a greased cookie sheet (I like to double them up to prevent tearing). Salt and pepper the inside of each chard piece.

In a small bowl, combine garlic, shallot, green onions, pepper, cheese, and tomatoes and mix well. Place a small amount of the mixture in the middle of each Swiss chard leaf then roll to create a packet. Seal with a toothpick if necessary. Brush the top of the chard packets with a bit of olive oil and sprinkle them with salt and pepper. Bake for about 14 - 20 minutes.
