Fish Parcels Wrapped In Grape Leaves
- Fish Parcels in Grape Leaves
- 3 fish fillets
- 12 grape leaves in brine
- 1 tablespoon sumac
- 4 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1/2 cup sesame seeds
- 1 1/2 shallots, sliced
- Tahini Sauce
- 1 cup plain greek or other yogurt
- 1 1/2 tablespoons tahini
- juice of 1/2 lemon
- Mix together sumac, lemon juice, olive oil, fresh thyme, and sesame seeds.
- Place each fish fillet on top of a grape leaf. Top with each with 1/3 of the sesame-sumac mixture and half a shallot, sliced. If desired, include a lemon slice in each parcel as well.
- Use remaining grape leaves to wrap each fillet completely.
- Place on top of a hot grill and cook 5-7 minutes, then turn it over and cook another 5-7 minutes. Cooking times depend on the size of your fillet -- the general rule is 4-6 minutes per half-inch of thickness.
- Combine and stir thoroughly until tahini is well-combined with yogurt. Add lemon juice to taste, add honey if you want it a little sweet. If you prefer a thinner consistency, add a little water.
