Viewed: 41 - Published at: 3 years agoIngredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 lb ground lamb
- 1 cup rice
- 1 (16 ounce) can tomato sauce
- 1 tablespoon parsley
- 1 tablespoon italian seasoning
- 1 cup water
- 1 (16 ounce) jar grape leaves
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 20 grinds ground pepper
Method
- Remove grape leaves from jar and cut off stems. Place a few leaves (10) at a time in a deep fry pan of simmering water for a about a minute. This removes the brine.
- Line the bottom of a 3 qt pan with 3 to 4 large leaves.
- Mix remaining ingredients except water in a bowl and start rolling.
- Place leaf, face or shiny side down. Put a small amount of mixture on upper half of leaf (stem end). Make one roll then turn sides in . Continue to roll.
- Place rolled grape leaves in the prepared pot seam side down. I work from the outer edge. Once the first layer is complete start a second layer.
- When all filling is used cover rolled leaves with 4 large leaves. Cover the leaves with a saucer that will fit inside the pot and add the 1 cup water. Cover pot and bring to a boil. Lower heat to simmer and cook for 45 minutes.
