Today I am sharing with you this very quick and easy recipe for my Yiayia Olga’s Greek Stuffed Grape Leaves! These Dolmas will just melt in your mouth they are so tender inside. We use to make hundreds of these in the restaurant! They’re filled with ground beef, rice and zucchini, they are the best dolmades you will ever try! I guarantee it! Enjoy!


Ingredients:
2 pounds ground beef
1&1/2 cup white rice
2 zucchinis
1 white onion
1/2 bunch fresh parsley
about 6 green onions
1 teaspoon salt & pepper
drizzle of olive oil
1 bottle grape leaves in brine
1 teaspoon butter (optional)
fresh lemons &
Greek yogurt for serving

Directions:
Chop the zucchini, onion, parsley, and green onions into small pieces and mix it well with the ground beef, rice, olive oil aand seasoning. Place it to the side and open the jar of grape leaves. Soak the grape leaves in warm water to remove all of the salty brine that they come in. drain out all the water and start assembling the dolmas by placing a spoonful of the mixture into the middle of the leaf with the rib side faced up. Fold both sides of the leaf towards the center and roll up the dolma. Place them into a large pot with a steam rack on the bottom. Fill the bot almost half way with water and place the piece of butter on top. Cover the dolmas with the extra leaves to hold in the steam and cover the pot. Steam the dolmas on a medium heat and allow it to Cook for about 45 minuted to one hour until rice is tender.
Serve with fresh squeezed lemon juice and Greek yogurt. This is a legendary recipe! Enjoy
