Hey foodie friends! Get ready to experience a taste of the Mediterranean with this cozy and comforting dish that I will share with you today

Ingredients:

• 1 jar grape leaves in brine, drained and rinsed
• 1 cup long-grain rice, rinsed
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
• 1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted
• 1/4 cup raisins or currants (optional)
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Greek yogurt or tzatziki sauce for serving
  
  
  

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, combine the rinsed rice, chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped dill, chopped parsley, toasted pine nuts, and raisins or currants (if using). Mix well to combine.
2. Place a grape leaf on a clean work surface, shiny side down, and spoon a small amount of the rice mixture onto the center of the leaf.
3. Fold the bottom of the grape leaf over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll it up tightly into a cigar shape.
4. Repeat the process with the remaining grape leaves and rice mixture until all the filling is used up.
5. Place the stuffed grape leaves seam side down in a large pot in a single layer, packing them snugly together.
6. Drizzle the olive oil and lemon juice over the stuffed grape leaves, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
7. Pour enough water over the grape leaves to cover them by about an inch.
8. Place a heavy plate or lid on top of the grape leaves to weigh them down and keep them submerged in the liquid.
9. Cover the pot with a lid and bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the stuffed grape leaves simmer gently for 45-50 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the grape leaves are tender.
10. Once cooked, carefully remove the stuffed grape leaves from the pot using a slotted spoon and transfer them to a serving platter.
11. Serve the Cozy Stuffed Grape Leaves warm or at room temperature, accompanied by Greek yogurt or tzatziki sauce for dipping.

Enjoy these delicious dolmas as a flavorful appetizer, side dish, or even a light meal. They're perfect for sharing with family and friends!
