Dolmades me Avgolemono (stuffed grape leaves)
Ingredients:
Grape Leaves:
1 1/2lb ground beef or lamb
1 1/2 cups chopped onions
1 c. raw converted rice (I use minute rice)
salt and pepper to taste
1 tsp. of dill or 1/4 c. fresh dill
1/4 c. water
1- lb jar grape leaves (these can usually be found in the vegetable isle where the pickled items are in your local grocery store)
3 1/2 cups hot chicken stock
Avgolemono Sauce:
3 eggs
1/2 tsp. salt (optional)
6 tbls. lemon juice
1 cup boiling chicken stock
Directions:
Combine meat, onions, rice, salt, pepper and dill. Add water and mix well. Using your hands works very well. Drain the brine from the jar of grape leaves. Use a 9" by 13" baking pan and line the bottom of the pan with about 4 to 6 of the grape leaves. Put 1 heaping tablespoon of meat and rice mixture in center of the leaf. Starting at the stem roll once then tuck the sides in and finish rolling the grape leaf, then set in pan.
