Don't miss the chance to prepare this recipe for grape leaves, a typical dish of Lebanese cuisine. The grape leaves come from the vine and are filled with ground lamb, rice, and herbs. They are delicious!
Mix the ground lamb, white rice, onion, mint, cilantro, and dill in a bowl, season with salt. Set aside.
Soak the grape leaves in hot water for 5 seconds, remove and fill with the prepared meat, fold and form a roll, as if it were a burrito. Repeat this operation until the filling is finished.
Arrange the stuffed grape leaves in the pot so that they are pressed together. Create a base, pour some melted butter, season with salt, and repeat this operation, forming layers until the pot is full.
Add the water to the pot and cover, this will help create a steamy environment during cooking. Cook for a period of one to two hours on medium heat, depending on the leaves, as they should be very soft and easily break apart when cooking is finished.
Once the grape leaves are cooked, serve them with garlic sauce or your preferred accompaniments.
