Stuffed Grape Leaves
- 16 grape leaves
- 1 cup basmati rice
- 2 cups cold water
- 13 cup currants
- 13 cup pine nuts
- 2 teaspoons cumin
- 1 teaspoon coriander
- 8 ounces feta cheese
- 8 ounces kalamata olives
- Put rice, currants, pine nuts, cumin, and coriander in a pot.
- Add cold water.
- Bring to a boil.
- *note: I live in Colorado.
- The amount of water might need to be adjusted for sea level!
- Once water is boiling, cover and turn heat down to medium low.
- Let simmer for twenty minutes.
- If you have a rice cooker, just put everything in the rice cooker and cook it as you normally would rice.
- Meanwhile, blanch grape leaves.
- Allow rice mixture to cool to room temperature.
- Once cool, add feta and olives.
- Mix well.
- Separate grape leaves.
- Place two end to end, slightly overlapping.
- Fill with the rice mixture and wrap tightly.
- (This is the first time I've wrapped grape leaves.
- I'm sure there is a trick to it, but I just tucked it around and let it more or less dry into place.
- ).
