Brown onion and garlic in olive oil then saute everything in skillet, adding oil as needed. Place small amount of mixture in grape leaf and roll into packets.

Cook slowly and allow to steam with a plate on top of layers to prevent them from splitting.
30-40 minutes until leaves are tender.
If serving these as an appetizer, squeeze lemon over dolma after cooked.

If serving these as a meal, make Avgolemono Sauce by beating 1-2 eggs with juice from cooked dolma for thicker topping. Add juice of 1 lemon.
