- •1 cup uncooked white rice
- •2 pounds ground lamb
- •1 tablespoon ground allspice
- •1 teaspoon salt
- •1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- •2 (16 ounce) jars grape leaves, drained and rinsed
- •6 cloves garlic, sliced
- •1 cup lemon juice
- •2 kalamata olives
Instructions
- Soak rice in cold water, and drain. Mix together ground lamb, rice, allspice, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until well blended. Place about 1 tablespoon of the meat mixture onto the center of each grape leaf. Fold leaf over once, turn in the edges on each side, and then roll the leaf closed.
- Stack leaf rolls in a large pot, covering each layer with slices of garlic. Add just enough water to cover rolls, then pour in lemon juice. Add olives to the pot for flavoring. Place a plate on top of the rolls to keep them under the water.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover and simmer for 1 hour 15 minutes. Taste rice for doneness. Grape leaves taste even better after sitting for several hours. Serve and enjoy.
