Instructions
 

  • Rinse the preserved grape leaves under cold water to remove any excess brine and set them aside to drain.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the rice, chopped dill, mint, parsley, pine nuts, onion, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  • Place a grape leaf on a clean surface, shiny side down, and remove the stem if necessary. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the rice filling onto the center of the leaf.
  • Fold the bottom of the leaf over the filling, then fold the sides inward, and roll tightly to form a small cylinder. Repeat this process with the remaining grape leaves and filling.
  • Place a few grape leaves on the bottom of a large pot to prevent the Dolmades from sticking. Arrange the stuffed grape leaves in layers, seam side down, in the pot.
  • Pour enough water into the pot to cover the Dolmades and place a heatproof plate on top to keep them in place during cooking.
  • Cover the pot with a lid and bring the water to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 1 hour or until the rice is cooked and the grape leaves are tender.
  • Once cooked, remove the Dolmades from the pot and let them cool before serving.
