1 pound 93% lean ground beef
1/4 cup oatmeal
2 medium shallots, minced, divided
1 1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning, divided
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, divided
8 large Swiss chard leaves, stems removed
1 14-ounce can reduced-sodium chicken broth or beef broth

Sauce:

1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes

Fresh parsley, oregano, and basil - chopped (about 3 Tbsp total) - divided - 1 Tbsp for rolls, 2 Tbsp for sauce

Here is how you make Stuffed Chard with fresh marinara:

Gently mix beef, oatmeal, 1 tablespoon shallot, 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning, 1 Tbsp chopped herbs, garlic, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl until just combined. Divide the mixture into 8 oblong 3-inch portions. Overlap the two sides of a chard leaf where the stem was removed and place a portion of beef there. Tightly roll the chard around the beef. Place each roll, seam-side down, in a large nonstick skillet. Pour in broth, cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to a simmer; cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a roll reads 165?F, 8 to 10 minutes. Discard any remaining broth. Meanwhile, heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the remaining shallot, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and crushed red pepper. Cook, stirring often, until the shallot is soft, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly reduced and thickened, about 8 minutes. Add remaining chopped herbs to the sauce during last 2 minutes of cooking. Serve the chard rolls topped with sauce and Parmesan cheese, if desired. **Note** To make a more complete meal, serve over your favorite whole wheat pasta or polenta.**Note 2** This makes a *lot* of sauce. We usually only use 1/2 the sauce for the entire recipe. The remaining sauce can be frozen and used later.
