Vegetable Stuffed Vine Leaves🌸
Step by step pictures and a video on how to roll the leaves 😉
Ingredients🌸
500 g of vine leaves
1 ½ cups of Egyptian rice
2 bunches of parsley
1 bunch or 1 cup of mint leaves
2 onions
3 tomatoes
1/4 cup of tomato coulis(optional)
3 cups of lemon juice
1 cup of oil (vegetable or olive)
Salt
3-4 potatoes
1 cup of mini carrots or 2 carrots
Method🌸
-Soak the leaves in boiling water to release all the salt and reduce their cook time
-Soak the rice for 1 hour
-Meanwhile, chop the parsley, mint, onions and tomatoes
-Cut the stems of the leaves using a pair of scissors
-Add the rice to the vegetables along with 2 cups of lemon juice, the oil, the salt and the tomato coulis
-Roll the leaves as shown in the video, leave 3-4 leaves unrolled and don't discard the rest of the sauce
-Peel the potatoes and the carrots and cut into wedges
-in a shallow cooking pot, place the unrolled leaves at the bottom, followed by the carrots then the potatoes
-Stack the grape leaves close to eachother
-Place a heavy plate on top, add the rest of the juice and 1 cup of lemon juice, if you need more liquid to cover the leaves add water
-Bring to a boil then lower the heat and keep cooking until the rice is cooked and the leaves are soft, that is 3-4 hours, add water everytime the leaves are not covered in liquid
-Flip into a large shallow plate
Bon appetit🌸
