Directions
Stuffed Grape Leaves (Dolmades), Another great recipe from the Silver Palate I lived in Greece for four years and dolmades were one of my favorite foods These are delicious hot or cold Get your family to help you roll these up – it’s fun!, very nice recipe and a little diff than how I make it I liked the use of canned tomatoes instead of sauce or paste and the mint I always ahve canned tomatoes on hand so this works I just made 10 or so for my small family and used extra lemon cause we like them tart Thank You made for Newest Zaar Tag 09

Lay a Grape Leaf, Vein Side Up With Stem Pointing Toward You, on Your Work Surface. Place a Tablespoon of Filling at the Base of the Leaf and Roll Up, Tucking in at the Sides to Make a Little Bundle. (you Want to Roll It Up Tight Enough So That It Stays Together but Leave a Little Room For the Rice to Expand as It Cooks). Repeat Until All Filling and/or Grape Leaves Are Used Up, Placing Each Bundle Seam Side Down Into a Cooking Pot. |

Squeeze Lemon Juice Over the Bundles, Then Add Water Nearly to Cover. Place a Small Plate Over the Bundles to Weigh Them Down (so They Won't Fall Apart During Cooking). Cover and Bring to a Boil; Reduce Heat and Simmer For 1 Hour. |
