You will need to have at hand:
– A jar of Grape Leaves
– Half pound ground beef
– A cup and a half of Egyptian Rice
Everything else is already in your pantry.
Cooking time of pot: At least 2 hours (simmering over low heat with the lid on)
Serving size: 4 people (about 70 stuffed grape leaves rolls in total)
Important notes for this recipe:
– When layering the grape leaves: place the rolls in the pot with the seam side down.
– when cooking the pot: Let it simmer over low heat with the lid on for AT LEAST 2 hours. After 2 hours, you can taste it to see if it is soft and to your liking. I honestly leave my pot simmering for 2 and a half or (if i have time) for 3 hours because i like it very tender.
– when seasoning: A 1/2 tsp of salt in water mixture makes it just perfect for my taste.
However, I know some people like it on the saltier side. you can always add another 1/2 tsp if you want it saltier, but its important to be careful and know when to add it (remember the jar already had some salt!), so after 1 hour of cooking, taste the cooking solution to see if it’s to your liking. At this point only, you can add more black pepper and salt to taste.

Can I use instant pot to boils them?
Can v use fresh gape leaves
Nice. This looks a lot like the recipe my grandma used to make. Only I remember that she used to cook the meat (added tomato paste) before she would mix it with the rice. Thank you. I will certainly try making it

My Lebanese grandmother would use ground lamb and went out to the grape vineyards to acquire her leaves. As her granddaughter I do the same..
