Yield 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/4 lbs ground round (or ground lamb)
3/4 cup long grain rice (cooked)
1 small onion (chopped fine)
2 garlic cloves (crushed or minced)
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1 (1 quart) jar pickled grape leaves, in brine, well rinsed and drained, stems cut off
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Steps:

  • Roll or shape a small amount of meat mixture into a log shape (about the diameter of an index finger.
  • Take one grape leaf and lay flat.
  • Place the meat roll about 1/4 of the way up from the bottom in the middle of the leaf.

  • Place all of your stuffed grape leaves tightly packed together in a 9 x 13" pan.
  • Cover with just enough water to meat the level of the grape leaves.
  • Add olive oil and lemon juice to the water and gently stire.
  • Bring to a light boil either on top of the stove or in your oven and simmer gently for 20 minutes.
  • Serve hot or cold.
