Dolmas


The grapevine we planted in December is thriving. Tiny leaves started sprouting in early March and now it is fully covered with leaves.  I cut about a dozen leaves, soaked them in water for about 3 hours and then filled them with a mix of rice, ground beef, pine nuts, diced onion, salt and pepper.  Then, I arranged them on a pot, covered with water and then simmered for 45 minutes.  I put a heavy baking dish on top so they stay in place.

Voila, there goes my dolmas… my first attempt at making them.
