This stuffed grape leaves recipe comes from a greek lady and the minute rice is the secret.

ingredients

  • 2 lbs. hamburger meat
  • 1 large or 2 med. onions, chopped fine
  • 1/2 bunch parsley chopped (no stems)
  • 2 cups minute rice, uncooked
  • oregano
  • garlic powder
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 jar grape leaves, approx. 50
  • 6 lemons, halved

directions

  • 1

    Throw out imperfect grape leaves as they will be too hard to wrap up. Spread remaining leaves out flat on a plate.

  • 2

    Mix remaining ingredients, except lemons, in a large bowl. Put a small spoonful of meat mixture in the middle of a leaf. Fold the sides over the mixture and roll up. Roll them tight!

  • 3

    Stack the grape leaves in a stock pot as you finish them. In between every layer squeeze a lemon half over them. Just cover the entire batch with water and top with a plate that fits inside the pot to keep them submerged.

  • 4

    Bring to boil for 5 minutes then simmer for 1 hour.
