Directions: |
Directions:Rinse leaves of most of the brine
Line the bottom of your pan with broken leaves (7-9) so as not to burn stuffed leaves
Mix together beef and rice and rest of mixture except tomatoes and olive oil and use only 2 tbsp. of sauce & 1 tbsp. of oil
cut 1/2 onion and 1 stalk of celery place on top of leaves in pan.
To roll the grape leaves, place a leaf with the vein side up on your work surface. Add one tablespoon of the filling mixture to the center of the leaf. Fold the edges in and up and roll the grape leaf until it looks like a cigar, tucking the edges under the roll. Proceed with the other leaves until you've run out of filling or leaves.
Proceed to arrange the stuffed grape leaves in rows, alternating the direction of each layer of rows.
Fill the pot with the sauce (enough to cover the rolls) and the remaining olive oil.
Place a plate on the top to prevent the rolls from floating.
Cover the pot and bring to a boil.
When it boils, lower the heat to low and cook for 40 minutes, until meat is cooked and rice is tender.
Remove the rolls from the broth and serve warm or at room temperature. |

Notes: Grammie has a disclaimer she "doesn't follow recipes" and did her best to give the directions for this family favorite!
Ya Ya use to have John and his brothers pick the grape leaves for her.
