Are you looking for a unique and flavorful dish to impress your guests at your next dinner party? Look no further than this delicious stuffed grape leaves recipe!

Ingredients:

• 1 lb. ground lamb
• 1 cup white rice
• 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
• 1/2 cup chopped fresh mint
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1/4 cup pine nuts
• 2 tsp. salt
• 1 tsp. black pepper
• 1 jar preserved grape leaves

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, mix together ground lamb, white rice, parsley, mint, onion, lemon juice, olive oil, pine nuts, salt, and black pepper.
2. Place a grape leaf on a flat surface, vein side up. Spoon a small amount of the lamb mixture onto the center of the leaf.
3. Roll the leaf tightly around the filling, tucking in the sides as you go. Repeat with remaining grape leaves and filling.
4. Arrange the stuffed grape leaves in a single layer in a large pot. Pour enough water over the leaves to cover them by 1 inch.
5. Cover the pot and bring the water to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the rice is cooked and the lamb is tender.
6. Remove the pot from the heat and let the grape leaves cool for a few minutes. Serve warm with lemon wedges and tzatziki sauce.

Notes:

Preserved grape leaves can be found in most grocery stores in the international aisle. If you can't find them, fresh grape leaves can be blanched and used instead.
