Categories     dinner, lunch, appetizer, main course

Time 2h15m

Yield 18 dolmas

Number Of Ingredients 17

18 long-stemmed Swiss chard leaves, each leaf at least 5 by 8 inches (if chard is short stemmed, allow 4 or 5 extra leaves)
1 pound lamb shoulder chops, on the bone
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 cups chopped onion, pieces about 1/3 inch size
Fine shredded zest of 1 large lemon, about 1 tablespoon
2 large cloves garlic, finely minced
1/2 cup raw basmati rice, or other long-grain white rice
2 tablespoons currants
2 tablespoons pine nuts
1/2 cup minced fresh parsley
1/4 cup minced fresh dill, or 1 1/2 tablespoons dried
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
2 egg yolks
Juice of 1 lemon, about 1/4 cup
1 lemon, cut in thin wedges, for garnish

Steps:

  • Bring a large kettle of water to the boil, add the chard and stir well. Drain at once, rinse with cold water, drain again and set aside.
  • Bone the chops and reserve the bones. Cut off all fat and discard.
  • Chop the meat into little chunks a bit coarser than hamburger. There should be about one cup.
  • Put a wide skillet over medium heat, add the oil, then the chopped onion. Cook, stirring often, until the onion is just golden around the edges, about 15 minutes.
  • Add the lemon zest and cook, stirring, for about two minutes, then add the garlic and meat. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the meat is just starting to brown, about five minutes more.
  • Stir in the rice, turn the heat to medium-low and add a half-cup of water. Allow to simmer undisturbed until all the water is absorbed, then stir in the currants, pine nuts, herbs and seasonings and remove the pan from the heat.
  • Fold each chard leaf in half the long way, so the spine of the stem protrudes. Starting where the stem widens, slice out the lower portion of the stem. Reserve leaves and stems.
  • Lightly film the bottom of a nonstick nine-inch diameter kettle with olive oil, then line it with onion slices, lamb bones and chard stems.
  • Lay a trimmed leaf face up on the work surface. Put a generous portion of filling in a wide line right above where the cut has split the leaf. Fold up the two bottom flaps to cover the filling, fold in the leaf edges to enclose it further, then roll like a jellyroll to the tip, tucking as you go. Set the rolls seam side down in the kettle, placing the second layer of leaves perpendicular to the first.
  • Pour in one and three-quarters cups of water; put a plate on top of the rolls to weight them down and cover the pan. Cook at a gentle simmer for an hour, or until the chard is tender and the rice fully cooked.
  • Using tongs, remove the rolls and set aside, covered to keep warm. Strain the kettle contents, pressing on the solids to get all juices; there should be about two-thirds of a cup of liquid. If necessary, boil to reduce, or add water.
  • Beat the egg yolks with the lemon juice in a small nonstick saucepan. Add the juices and cook, stirring constantly over very low heat, until the sauce thickens. Do not let it boil.
  • Serve the dolmas hot or cold, with sauce on the side, garnished with lemon wedges.

SWISS CHARD DOLMADES



Swiss Chard Dolmades image

Since we grow a lot of Swiss chard in our garden, I experimented with the smaller more tender leaves and found that they are even more delicious than grape leaves in preparing dolmades. We have one vegetarian and two carnivores in our household, so I came up with two fillings to accommodate everyone.

Provided by Beth Wettergreen

Categories     White Rice

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

16 small swiss chard leaves, each approx. 6
2/3 cup white rice or to taste orzo, mixed with rice
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup slivered almonds
3 tablespoons white raisins or 3 dried apricots, chopped
1 tablespoon curry powder
1 teaspoon salt
8 ounces lamb shoulder, fat trimmed, chopped in 1/2
1 teaspoon olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup white rice
1 teaspoon dried dill or 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
2 teaspoons salt

Steps:

  • Saute rice/orzo and garlic in butter for 1 minute, add almonds.
  • Stir just until almonds become a bit brown.
  • Turn off heat, stir in remaining ingredients.
  • Brown lamb and garlic in olive oil, add rice and stir just until rice begins to brown.
  • Turn off heat, stir in remaining ingredients.
  • 3 cups canned tomato juice Lemon wedges Have both the fillings prepared and ready to go.
  • In a 9X11" baking dish or large wide-bottomed stewing pot, pour 3/4 cup tomato juice, or enough to cover the bottom of the dish about 1/2" deep.
  • Rinse chard leaves and cut off any stem.
  • Stack chard leaves in a steamer basket or metal colander over a large kettle of boiling water: cover.
  • Allow leaves to steam 3-4 minutes or until soft and pliable but still quite green.
  • After 2 minutes of steaming you can use two spatulas to turn the whole stack of leaves over to allow the "less cooked" ones on the top to steam more thoroughly.
  • Remove chard leaves to a plate. Separate them and allow them to cool so they will be easier to handle. Flatten a chard leaf on the working surface and place about 2 tablespoons of chosen filling 1/2 inch above the bottom stem end.
  • Fold each side over the filling, then roll up from the stem end "burrito style", ending with the top of the leaf folded over the roll.
  • Place the dolmade "leaf-tip-side-down" in the tomato juice in the prepared pan.
  • You should be able to see the roll, but not any of the seam, which should be underneath.
  • I differentiate the vegetarian and meat dolmades by placing a sliver of carrot or red pepper on top of the vegetarian ones.
  • Repeat with all of the remaining leaves.
  • If you tear a leaf and can't use it or have extra filling left over, you can sprinkle it into the tomato juice when you bake the dish and your sauce will be all the more delicious.
  • Pour remaining tomato juice over the dolmades.
  • Two cooking methods: Bake in a moderate 350 degree oven for 35 minutes on the top shelf, uncovered.
  • or Simmer in a large stew pot on top of the stove. If you choose this method, weight the dolmades down by placing a plate on top of them and then putting something heavy (i.e. a heavy coffee mug or two) on top of the plate. Simmer at low-medium heat on stove top for 20-25 minutes.
  • This method produces a more compact dolmade that holds together better when you serve it. Important: When you take them from the oven or turn off the stove, let them sit for at least 10 minutes before serving.
  • They are much less likely to fall apart this way.
  • Serve 4 dolmades per guest with lemon wedges to squeeze over.
  • They are delicious cold or room temperature as well.
  • Suggested accompaniments: Avegolemo soup, tossed salad with black olives and feta cheese, fresh steamed artichokes, garlic bread.
