1 - Where was all the flavor promised by the amazing smell of the potato mixture? Does it just need more seasoning?
Makes 20-30 rolls
Preparation time ?
4 large potatoes of similar size
1 1/2 Tbsp oil
? large Swiss chard leaves (a large heart? Does that mean a whole plant?)
Juice of 1 lemon
4+2 Tbsps. flour
2 onions (12oz/340g) finely diced
2 Tbsps.+2 Tbsps.+ more butter, as needed
Salt
Pepper
1 clove garlic, minced
Nutmeg
4oz chèvre cheese
Fruit compote of choice
- Preheat the oven to 425˚F. Prick the clean potatoes all over with a fork.
- Rub the potatoes all over with the oil and bake on a baking sheet until they are cooked thoroughly and soft in the center, about 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, remove the leaves of the Swiss chard carefully so they remain large enough to be stuffed (dimensions?).
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and blanch the leaves quickly for about a minute. Cool the leaves in cold water and wrap in a clean towel to dry and keep moist.
- Once done, in the blanching water whisk in the lemon juice and 4 Tbsps. of flour.
- Chop the chard ribs into 1/4 inch cubes. Add them to the lemon water and cook 35-40 minutes, or until very tender. Drain the cooked ribs and pat dry. Set aside.
- Sauté the onion in 2 Tbsps. of butter. Add the cooked Swiss chard cubes.
- Remove the pulp from the baked potatoes and rice it over the onion mixture. Add 2 Tbsps. butter or more along with the salt, pepper, garlic, nutmeg and goat cheese. Mix until homogenous.
- Wrap an egg-sized lump (2.5oz/70g) of the potato mixture in each cooked Swiss chard leaf (how many does this make?). You may need to use 2 leaves to complete each farcette, depending on their size.
- Flour each farcette and fry in more butter (how much?) until crisp on both sides.
- Serve with a fruit compote of your choice.
