Stuffed Grape Leaves (with meat)
By sherryl61
These small bundles of meat and rice wrapped in grape leaves are a favorite dish in Greece
- 1 jar of large grape leaves in brine (about 60-75 leaves) or about 180 small leaves
- 8 cups of water
- 2 pounds of lean ground beef (I also use 1 pound beef and 1 pound ground lamb)
- 1 cup of uncooked short-grain rice
- 2 medium-large onions, finely chopped
- 5 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 bunch of fresh dill, chopped (I have also used 1-2 tablespoons dried dill if fresh not available)
- 1 tablespoon of fresh mint, chopped (I have also used 1 tablespoon dried mint as well if fresh not available.)
- 1-2 tablespoons ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon ground turmeric
- juice of 3 lemons or 3/4 cup lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon of pepper
- 1 teaspoon of sea salt
- 4 cups of beef broth or water
Lebanese Stuffed Grape Leaves
By GratefulSea
Reese's is the best brand for grape leaves that I've found so far, but others have recommended Mezzetta, Aristocra...
- 3/4 cup uncooked rice (not instant)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon allspice
- 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 cup minced parsley
- 2 tablespoons minced mint leaves
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 pound lean ground lamb, uncooked
- 24 grape leaves
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 (8-ounce) jar grape leaves yields about 48 good ones.
- 0.5 ounces mint leaves yields about 1/4 cup.
- Doubling the recipe yields enough mix for 60-64 grape leaves.
