Lamb-Stuffed Grape Leaves
- Cooking spray
- 1 1/2 cups finely chopped yellow onion (about 1 medium)
- 1/2 cup chopped green onions (about 3)
- 1/2 cup uncooked long-grain rice
- 2 tablespoons pine nuts
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons golden raisins
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 3 ounces lean ground lamb
- 30 bottled large grape leaves
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add yellow onion to pan; cook 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add green onions, rice, and nuts; cook 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in 1/2 cup water and next 6 ingredients (through pepper); bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 8 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat; cool. Stir in lamb.
- Rinse grape leaves with cold water; drain well. Pat dry with paper towels. Remove stems; discard.
- Spoon 1 tablespoon rice mixture onto center of each grape leaf. Bring 2 opposite points of leaf to center; fold over filling. Beginning at 1 short side, roll up leaf tightly, jelly-roll fashion. Place stuffed grape leaves, seam sides down, in a vegetable steamer. Steam 1 hour and 30 minutes.
