Time 2h30m

Yield 50 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb grape leaves
1/2 cup olive oil
2 large onions, chopped
4 green onions, chopped
1 1/2 cups long-grain rice
3 tablespoons fresh dill
1 tablespoon fresh spearmint
1 lemon, juice of
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Put the onions in a bowl with water and let them stand for 10 minutes. Wash them well and drain.
  • Wash and drain the rice.
  • Add in a bowl the rice, onions, the herbs, the seasonings and 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  • Rinse the leaves under running water and blanch in boiling water for 2 minutes.
  • Place 1 leave on a counter, shiny side down and add 1 teaspoon of the rice filling. Roll but let it loose a lot, because the rice will expand. Continue with all the other leaves.
  • Place the dolmathes in a saucepan and add 2 cups of warm water. Add a pinch of salt, and the olive oil. Let it boil and reduce the heat to low. After 10 minutes add 1/2 cup of water and the lemon juice. Simmer for 30 minutes more.
  • Serve cold as an appetizer or as a full vegan dinner with a salad.
  • Nice served with a dollop of Greek yogurt on top.
