Prepare the Filling
  1. In a large pot, bring vegetable broth to a boil. Add quinoa, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until liquid is absorbed.

  2. Place a spoonful of filling on each leaf, fold in the sides, and roll tightly. Repeat until all filling is used.
Bake the Rolls
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread a layer of tomato sauce on the bottom of a baking dish.
  2. Arrange the Swiss chard rolls seam-side down in the baking dish. Top with remaining tomato sauce and sprinkle with oregano and basil.
  3. Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes.
