Ingredients (serves 4):
- 1 jar of grape leaves
- 1 cup of cooked rice
- 1/2 cup of crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup of chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 cup of chopped fresh mint
- 1/4 cup of chopped fresh dill
- 1/4 cup of chopped onion
- 1/4 cup of olive oil
- 1/4 cup of lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Cooking tips:
- Rinse the grape leaves thoroughly before using them to remove any excess salt.
- Use a sharp knife to chop the herbs finely to ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the filling.
- Be careful not to overstuff the grape leaves, as they may burst during cooking.
Instructions:
1. In a large bowl, mix together the cooked rice, feta cheese, herbs, onion, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
2. Take one grape leaf and place it on a flat surface, shiny side down. Spoon a small amount of the filling onto the center of the leaf.
3. Fold the bottom of the leaf up over the filling, then fold the sides in towards the center. Roll the leaf up tightly to form a small package.
4. Repeat with the remaining grape leaves and filling.
5. Place the dolma wraps in a large pot, seam side down. Add enough water to cover the dolma wraps and bring to a boil.
6. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 30-40 minutes, or until the grape leaves are tender.
7. Serve the dolma wraps warm or at room temperature, garnished with additional herbs if desired.
