Note

For the carrot sauce, blend cooked carrots with a little water, olive oil, and lemon juice until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.

You can substitute the potatoes with cauliflower for a lower-carb option.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven.

If using smaller chard leaves, double the number of leaves and halve the filling per leaf.
