Ingredients :
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 dry onion, chopped
- 1/2 bunch parsley, chopped
- 1/3 cup rice-bulgur mix
- 1 tbs pepper paste
- 1 tbs tomato paste
- 1/4 cup hot water
- 1 Jar grape leaves ( we will use 2 rolls)
- 1/3 cup butter for sauce
- 2 tbs tomato paste for sauce
Method :
- Take 2 rolls of leaves from the jar, put into bowl filled with cold water.you will rinse the leaves getting rid of salt, keep the leaves in it, I usually start to prepare my stuffing mixture first. One dry onion, 1/3 cup of rice bulgur mix , 1/2 bunch parsley, 1 tablespoon pepper paste, 1 tbs tomato paste , and 1 lb of ground beef , salt pepper, put into a bowl. Add 1/4 cup of hot water and mix good. This is your stuffing.
- The Stems on the leaves will help you to pick them up easily, take 4-5 of leaves, snip of the stems and put them into your side of bowl, this will make them dry and ready to work.
- Place 4-5 whole grape leaves stem side is towards you , shiny part on the bottom, take some mixture and start rolling
- Close the sides
- Roll tightly, cigar shape
- Line the cooking pot with some ripped leaves, then place stuffed leaves , this will prevent leaves from sticking to the bottom of the pot, while cooking.
- Boil water , place an other small bowl over boiling water with 1 tbs tomato paste and 1/4 butter in it, butter will melt with the steam, then pour boiling water into paste and butter mixture, stir well, water must be enough to cover stuffed leaves .
- Pour sauce over the stuffed leaves
- Place a plate over leaves, to prevent them floating , or opening, cook low medium, about 35 mins
- Take the plate out, serve with thick "suzme" yogurt with garlic
