Cooking InstructionsHide images
step 1
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and blanch Chard (1 bunch) leaves for 15 seconds each. Remove and place in cold water for a few seconds (to retain color). Drain.
step 2
For the stuffing: mix together Lean Ground Beef (1.3 lb), Bulgur Wheat (3/4 cup), Onion (1), Parsley (7 sprig), Tomato Paste (1 Tbsp) Red Pepper Paste (1 Tbsp), Dried Mint (1 tsp), Aleppo Chili Flakes (1 tsp) and Fresh Parsley (7 sprigs).
step 3
freshly ground Ground Black Pepper (as needed), and Salt (1 tsp). Use your hands and knead together to evenly distribute all the ingredients.
step 4
Remove large stems from chard leaves. If the leaves are large, you can divide them up into more pieces to stuff. Use extra or torn pieces to line the bottom of the large pot you will use to cook the sarmas.
step 5
Stuff leaves by placing about 1 tablespoons of your filling in the center of the leaf. Fold down the leaf from the top over the filling, then fold in the sides toward the center and roll from the top down.
