Stuffed Grape Leaves With Lentils, Oregano And Mint
- 1 jar vine leaves
- 1 cup boiled lentils
- 1 cup olive oil
- 1 pinch onion, thinly chopped
- the juice of 1/2 lemon
- 2 to 4 teaspoons bulgur
- Dash dried oregano
- Dash dried mint
- Dash salt and pepper
- In a large bowl, put together the lentils, leek, onion, bulgur. Add the herbs, salt, pepper 1/2 cup of the olive oil and stir
- Take one grape leaf and place it smooth side down, veiny sides up
- Place about 1 spoon (depending on how big the leaf is) of the mix at the bottom of the leaf
- Fold the sides and then roll the leaf from bottom to top. Repeat with the remaining ingredients
- Place a steaming rack in a large pot and arrange the dolmas on the steamer
- If you don't have a rack, then cover the bottom of the pot with two layers of vine leaves
- Cover with water, add the lemon juice and fix plate in the pot, on top of the dolmas. Boil for about 30 minutes

- Note: Since vine leaves in brine are particularly strong flavored, it's better to rinse them several times and soak them in water for at least one hour before use.
