Swiss Chard, Ground Beef and Rice Casserole
Healthy, because
Even smarter
Nutritional values
A whopping 3530 micrograms of provitamin A are contained in 100 grams of chard - and even more in the red-handled variety. That makes this vegetable the perfect partner for good vision and healthy, beautiful skin! And thanks to the lean minced beef, the minced-rice casserole doesn't turn into a figure killer either!
There are relatively large quantities of oxalic acid in chard. For children, people with gout or kidney problems, and for anyone with a sensitive stomach, the following therefore applies: eat chard in moderation and preferably always drink a glass of milk with it, because milk neutralizes the acid.

Preparation steps
Peel and finely chop onion. In a pan, heat 1 tablespoon oil. Fry ground beef until crumbly and browned. Add onion and rice and stir-fry until onion is translucent. Add 2 cups broth. Season with pepper and marjoram. Cover and cook over low heat until rice has absorbed liquid, about 20 minutes.
Rinse Swiss chard. Cut out stalks and slice green parts into strips.
Peel and finely chop garlic. Heat remaining oil.
Sauté chard and garlic, stirring. Season with salt and pepper and add remaining broth. Cover and braise over medium heat about 5 minutes.
Fill the bottom of a casserole dish with a layer of Swiss chard, then top with rice and beef mixture. Repeat layers with chard, rice and beef. In a bowl, whisk eggs with milk and cream. Season with salt, pepper, paprika and nutmeg. Stir in cheese and pour mixture over the casserole. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F until top is golden brown, 25-30 minutes.
