To begin, rinse the grape leaves and set them aside. In a large bowl, mix together the ground pork, rice, onion, garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Take a grape leaf and place a small amount of the pork and rice mixture in the center. Fold the sides of the leaf over the filling and roll it up tightly.

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the stuffed grape leaves to the pot, arranging them in a single layer. Pour the water over the grape leaves and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let the grape leaves simmer for about 45 minutes, or until the rice is fully cooked.
Once the grape leaves are cooked, remove them from the pot and arrange them on a serving platter. Garnish with fresh herbs, if desired, and serve hot.
