Greek Meat-Stuffed Grape Leaves

• 20 grape leaves, packed in brine
• 1/2 pound ground lamb shoulder
• 1/2 pound ground beef round
• 1/2 cup cooked rice
• 1 medium onion, minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley leaves, minced
• 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
• salt, to taste
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1/3 cup beef broth

1. Separate the grape leaves.
2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, drop in the grape leaves, cook for 5 minutes, and drain on paper towels.
3. In a large bowl, combine the remaining ingredients and mix till the stuffing is thoroughly blended.
4. Place a grape leaf vein side up on a work surface, place about 1 tablespoon of stuffing in the center, fold up the sides, and roll tightly to enclose the stuffing.
5. Repeat with the remaining leaves and stuffing.
6. Arrange the stuffed leaves in layers, seam sides down, in a large, heavy kettle and cover with an inverted plate to weight them down slightly.
7. Add enough warm water to reach the plate, bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer till the stuffed leaves are tender, 30 to 35 minutes.
8. Serve hot, warm, or cold.
