Lamb And Chard Cannelloni - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 tbsp olive oil
    1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
    2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
    1 lb ground lamb or beef
    2 1/2 tsp dried oregano
    1 lb Swiss chard
    8 oz feta cheese, crumbled
    2 tsp finely grated lemon peel
    1/4 cup finely shredded fresh mint
    2 cups jarred pasta sauce
    12 None fresh lasagne sheets
    1 cup grated mozzarella cheese
Preparation
    Heat half the oil in a large skillet on medium-high heat. Cook onion and garlic, stirring, until soft. Add ground lamb and 2 tsp of the oregano; stir until cooked through. Remove from pan.
    Thinly slice chard stems and leaves separately. Heat remaining oil in the same pan. Cook chard stems, stirring, until tender. Add chard leaves. Cook, stirring, until soft. Remove from heat. Stir in feta cheese, lemon peel, mint and lamb mixture. Season with salt and black pepper.
    Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F. Spread 1/4 cup of the pasta sauce in the bottom of a 12 x 8-inch baking dish.
    Cut each lasagne sheet into thirds. Place 1/2 cup of lamb mixture along length of each sheet and roll up to form a tube. Arrange filled tubes on the sauce in the dish. Top evenly with remaining pasta sauce. Sprinkle with cheese.
    Bake for 45 mins or until pasta is tender. Serve with side salad, if desired.
