Ingredients

12 medium to large leaves Swiss chard, rinsed well; cut out the thickest part of stem
5 oz sliced or shredded Mozzarella
12 tsp Tomato paste
6 small Tomatoes (or 3 large), quartered
Salt to taste (optional)
about a tsp of your favourite salt-free Seasoning

Instructions

Steam leaves until slightly wilted. Lay the leaves face-down on a nonstick jellyroll sheet (or similar) with stems lined up from north to south. Lay 1/4 ounce of cheese in the center, in a 2-inch long rectangle, from north to south. Spread 1 teaspoon of the tomato paste over the cheese, then top with 2 tomato quarters (if using small tomatoes) and sprinkle a dash of the spices over the tomato filling. Fold north and south ends of leaf over the filling, then fold in the sides to create a burrito-like wrap. Place on jellyroll pan, stem side up. Repeat with remaining leaves and filling. Preheat oven to broil. Broil, with pan about 6 inches from the flame, for 2 minutes. Flip wraps over, and broil other side 2 minutes more. Sprinkle salt over the top, if desired. Makes 6 servings (2 wraps per serving).
