Ingredients (serves 4):
- 1 pound ground bison
- 1 cup cooked brown rice
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 jar grape leaves, drained and rinsed
Cooking Tips:
- Make sure to rinse the grape leaves thoroughly before using them to remove any excess salt.
- Use a non-stick pan to cook the bison and onion mixture to prevent sticking.
- Don't overstuff the grape leaves, as they will expand during cooking.
Cooking Process:
1. In a large bowl, mix together the ground bison, cooked brown rice, chopped onion, parsley, mint, dill, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
2. Take a grape leaf and place it shiny side down on a flat surface. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the bison mixture onto the center of the leaf.
3. Fold the bottom of the leaf over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll up tightly.
4. Repeat with the remaining grape leaves and filling.
5. Place the stuffed grape leaves in a large pot, seam side down, and add enough water to cover them.
6. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 30-40 minutes, or until the grape leaves are tender.
7. Serve the stuffed grape leaves warm or at room temperature, garnished with lemon wedges and fresh herbs.
