Savor the essence of Mediterranean cuisine with these mouth-watering vegan Dolmades, stuffed with a flavorful mixture of rice, herbs, and lemon.
Ingredients
- 1 jar grape leaves in brine (about 40 leaves)
- 1 cup uncooked long-grain rice
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons pine nuts
- 3 tablespoons currants or raisins
- Zest of one lemon
- Juice of 2 lemons
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups water or vegetable broth
Steps:
- Rinse the grape leaves in warm water and drain.
- Prepare the filling by sautéing the onion in olive oil until translucent. Add rice and sauté for another few minutes.
- Add dill, parsley, pine nuts, currants, lemon zest, half of the lemon juice, salt, and pepper to the rice mixture. Cook for a few minutes more.
