| Grape Leaf Rolls |
Ingredients
500 g grape leaves (washed one by one)
Filling:
625 g medium or regular ground beef (uncooked)
1/2 glass rice (washed and drained)
1/4 glass water
50 ml extra virgin olive oil
1 onion (finely chopped or grated)
salt
pepper
Garnish:
3 tablespoons crushed tomatoes
60 ml butter (diced)
Cooking Instructions
Blend all the filling ingredients in a bowl with a tablespoon. Fill a large pot half way with water and boil. Add in all the leaves and boil for almost three minutes. Drain, later cut off the stems (picture). The matte (not shiny) side of the leaf is the inside, that's where the filling would go. Grab a leaf (picture) and fold the top where the stem was as shown in this picture. Put the leaf into your palm and use a teaspoon to put filling on it (picture). Firstly fold over the top (picture), later the two sides (picture) and roll to close it up (picture).
Line up all the rolls in a large pot tightly, without big holes in between (picture). Spread the garnish on top. Put a small plate upside down over the rolls - this is to prevent the rolls from unfolding while being cooked. Later pour in a glass of water (picture). Cook on medium-low heat for twenty minutes. Add one 1/2 glass of hot water, and cook for another fifteen minutes. Let cool for ten minutes, later serve with Yogurt with Garlic Sauce.
