Cuisine Mediterranean
Calories 111kcal

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lbs grape leaves
  • 1 cup olive oil
  • 1 cup rice
  • 3 large onions chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 cup chopped parsley
  • 1 teaspoon dill weed
  • 6 scallions minced
  • 2 lemons
  • 2 1/2 cups water

Instructions

  • In a large frying pan, heat the olive oil (reserving 2 tablespoons for later use).
  • Sauté the onions with the salt until transparent.
  • Add the rice and the pepper and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Add the scallions, parsley, dill, juice of 1 lemon and 1/2 cup of the water.
  • Cook for about 10 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed.
  • Rinse the grape leaves very well; drain and separate very carefully, so they don’t tear apart.
  • Place the grape leaves shiny side down. Put about 1 tablespoon of the filling on each leaf near the base. Fold over starting at base, fold in the sides, then roll tightly toward the tip into a cigar shape.
  • Line the bottom of the kettle with several of the imperfect leaves to prevent sticking.
  • Arrange the rolls in the kettle side by side, in layers.
  • Add the reserved 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 cup water and the juice of the remaining lemon.
  • Weigh down with a heat proof plate and leave simmer gently for about 25 minutes.
  • Add the remaining 1 cup water and simmer for about 25 more minutes.
  • Cover the rolls in the kettle, then refrigerate.
  • To serve, pile the stuffed grape leaves on serving plate and garnish with lemon slices. Serve at room temperature or warm with sour cream.
