LEBANESE GRAPE LEAVES

LEBANESE GRAPE LEAVES

Ingredients: 2 packages ground lamb, one jar grape leaves, 1 cup white or brown rice, 2/3 cup lemon juice, 1/2 cup diced onion, 2 tbl ground allspice, 1/4 cup dried parsley

Rinse grape leaves before using. Mix everything else in a bowl. Roll a small amount of the mixture in the center of the leave like you're rolling a cigarette. Fold sides fist and then roll tight. Place the leave seam side up (looks prettier) before adding mix. If the leaf has a stem, cut it off. Put rolled leaves on a steamer basket in a large pot. Add water to the pot (but don't let it touch the leaves) Bring to a boil (covered) and then turn down heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
