11 ⁄2 lbs. Ground Chuck 80/20
1 ⁄2 Cup uncooked Long Grain White RiceSalt and Pepper
5 Cloves Garlic Sliced
1 ⁄2 Cup Chopped Fresh MintJuice of 2 Lemons
Method
Combine meat and rice season with salt and pepper.
Add 1 ⁄3 to a 1 ⁄4 cup of water to moisten up the meat so it will not dry out by the rice when cooking.
Make a small oval meatball place at the base of the grape leave and begin to roll folding in the sides as you roll up.
Layer the stuffed grape leaves in a sauce pan placing the garlic on each layer.
Add the lemon juice, mint then add lightly salted water just to cover the grape leaves, place a dish on top to hold the grape leaves down, cover pot.
Bring to a boil and then lower heat to a simmer cook until done 45 minutes to an hour.
