Ingredients
- 1 cup of uncooked white rice
- 1/2 cup of chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 cup of chopped fresh mint
- 1/4 cup of chopped fresh dill
- 1/4 cup of chopped green onions
- 1/4 cup of lemon juice
- 1/4 cup of olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1 jar of grape leaves, drained and rinsed
- 2 cups of water
To make this dish, start by cooking the rice in a pot with 2 cups of water until it's fully cooked. In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice with the parsley, mint, dill, green onions, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
Next, prepare the grape leaves by removing them from the jar, draining them, and rinsing them under cold water. Lay each grape leaf flat on a cutting board, and remove any stems or tough veins.
Take a spoonful of the rice mixture and place it in the center of each grape leaf. Roll the leaf tightly around the rice, tucking in the sides as you go. Repeat until all the rice mixture is used up.
To cook the stuffed grape leaves, place them in a large pot with a little bit of water. Cover the pot and cook over medium heat for 30 minutes, or until the rice is fully cooked and the grape leaves are tender.Serve the stuffed grape leaves warm, garnished with lemon wedges and some extra herbs on top. Enjoy this delicious and healthy dish with your family and friends!
