STUFFED GRAPE LEAVES
Steps:
- Put the onions and oil in a skillet and cook over medium heat until the onions are soft and translucent, about 10 minutes. While the onions cook, peel the garlic cloves and mash them to a paste in a mortar and pestle. Add this to the pan along with the tomato, lemon juice, tomato paste, and salt and pepper to taste. Cook for another 5 minutes. Stir in the rice. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the dill. Set aside to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate.
- While this is cooling, drain the grape leaves and carefully pull them apart. Put them into a bowl and cover them with cold water. Let them soak until you are ready to roll.
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place a grape leaf on your work surface, shiny side down. Add 1 tablespoon of the rice mixture to the middle of the grape leaf. Fold the sides over the rice and roll the leaf into a small log shape, about the size of George's thumb. Repeat with the remaining rice, placing the stuffed leaves into a 9 by 9-inch baking dish. When the dish is full, cover the stuffed leaves with several layers of flat grape leaves and pour in 1 cup of water. Cover and bake for 1 hour. Let cool to room temperature and refrigerate. Serve cool.

Steps:
- 1. Remove grape leaves from jar. Place on a flat surface. Toward the bottom of the leaf, remove the thick, fibrous stem and vein. Discard stem etc. Set leaves aside.
- 2. For grape leaf filling, place all ingredients in a pot with enough water to cook quinoa/rice/couscous. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and cover.
- 3. When both grain and meat are cooked, remove meat and debone. Then place meat back in and put entire mix into the food processor. Give a quick rough chop. Set aside temporarily.
- 4. To start sauce, melt butter in sauce pan then add flour to make your roux. Stir.
- 5. Add milk, lemon, bay leaf, and anise star. Cook over a medium to low heat, covered. Stirring occasionally while you roll grape leaves.
- 6. In a side dish, combine white wine and dry herbs. Set aside.
- 7. Preheat over to 325.
- 8. To roll grape leave, place a large spoon full in the center in a rectangular shape, fold in sides, then roll from top of the leave to bottom. Place in a casserole dish sprayed with olive oil. Continue until all filling is finished.
- 9. Back to lemon sauce, your sauce should be thickened now. Remove anise star, lemon, and bay leaf. Pour in wine/herbs and whisk thoroughly. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- 10. Pour sauce over grape leaves. Optionally place lemons from pot atop. This will make it taste zest heavy.
- 11. Place in over for 20 minutes. Then serve.
- 12. I like to serve this with my other two recipes. https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/fruit-sauce/mediterranean-fruit-spiced-applesauce.html https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/side/vegetable/baked-tandoori-lentils.html
STUFFED GRAPE LEAVES (DOLMA) WITH EGG-LEMON SAUCE (AVGOLEMONO)
This is a Greek recipe that I developed from 3 different recipes, and it is DELICIOUS! The recipe serves 4-6 people as a main dish, but you can serve more people as an appetizer. It is also great to bring to a potluck buffet.

Steps:
- DOLMA DIRECTIONS:.
- Saute onions and celery with 1 tablespoon butter until wilted. In a large bowl, add ground lamb, onions, celery, rice, mint sauce, parsley, salt and pepper. Mix well.
- Remove grape leaves from jar and open up onto a large plate.
- Remove one leaf (the bigger the better) and place onto a flat surface with shiny side down.
- Place a small amount of the filling toward the stem side of the leaf and then roll up (tuck in the left and the right side as you roll) towards the top of the leaf.
- Make sure you do not put too much filling in each one.
- Grease the bottom of a Corningware dish or Saucepot with a little oil or Pam, and then line the bottom with some of the smaller grape leaves that you did not use as rollups.
- Place into the dish/pot the rolled grape leaves close together and arrange in layers.
- Add chicken stock, lemon juice, wine or sherry, and remaining tablespoons of butter.
- In order to prevent the grape leaves from opening up during cooking, place a small flat Corningware plate or lid on top of the grape leaves.
- Then place Corningware glass cover onto the Corningware pot.
- Simmer on low for about 1 hour.
- After the 1 hour, set aside to cool.
- While cooling, make the egg-lemon sauce.
- After the sauce is made and you have drained the stuffed grape leaves by holding the lid in place and pouring the liquid into the sink, place several stuffed grape leaves on a dish and pour some hot egg-lemon sauce on top and serve.
- EGG-LEMON SAUCE DIRECTIONS:.
- Lightly beat 2 egg yolks with 1/4 cup of water.
- In a measuring cup, place 2 or 3 tablespoons lemon juice and add enough water for a total of 3/4 cup of liquid. Add 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Heat 2 tablespoons peanut oil in a small pot and then add the cornstarch, stirring. Add a little of the lemon juice and water mixture to prevent it from becoming lumpy.
- Next, add a little more of the lemon juice and water mixture until smooth, and then add the rest of the lemon juice and water mixture and continue stirring until smooth.
- Remove from the heat for about 1 minute.
- Gradually add the beaten egg yolk mixture, stirring with a whisk until smooth. (Keep in mind that heating will cause the eggs to set, which you do NOT want to do.).
- NOTE: If you have any stuffed grape leaves leftover, you can heat them in a frying pan the next day and serve with the egg-lemon sauce. Or microwave the stuffed grape leaves with some egg-lemon sauce on top, prior to heating.
STUFFED GRAPE LEAVES WITH EGG-LEMON SAUCE BY SY
One of my all-time favorite Greek Dishes! The Egg-Lemon Sauce and squeezed lemon wedges really makes this dish delicious! If you can't find ground lamb you can just use ground beef. Further, I sometimes use ground turkey! However if you do, you need to make sure this dish is cooked throughly.

STUFFED GRAPE LEAVES WITH EGG LEMON SAUCE
This is a Frugal Gourmet recipe. I know it's not authentic that way, but I always use ground beef. Note 1 hour resting time. (I'll be honest--I cheat and don't always let them rest for an hour. They smell too good and I can never wait.)
