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.
