Directions: |
Directions:Combine all the stuffing ingredients together and mix well. Open the leaves and add 1 tsp of stuffing in the center, then roll it tightly while bringing in the ends first. In a large pot place sliced tomatoes across the bottom of the pot. Place the rolled grape leaves on the top of sliced tomatoes and stack them over each other. Add 2 tsp salt, lemon juice, oil and can of the tomato sauce. Add the water to cover 2 to 3 inches over where grape leaves sit. Place an inverted dish on top of the grape leaves. Cover with lid and bring to boil then lower the heat to a rapid simmer. Cook for 1-1/2 to 2 hours until rice is cooked through.
You can add water if needed.
Keep the grape leaves in the pot to cool. Then drain the liquid from the pot if any. Flip the pot up side down on a very large serving plate. Serve cold. It is better to cook it a day before serving. |
