Today, I am sharing a recipe for Palestinian Appetizer: Stuffed Grape Leaves.

Palestinian Stuffed Grape Leaves: ChatGPT explains what Stuffed Grape Leaves is: "Stuffed grape leaves are bite-sized parcels made by wrapping rice, herbs, and sometimes meat or vegetables in grape leaves, typically served as an appetizer or side dish."

Stuffed Grape Leaves

Ingredients: 

1 jar (16 oz) grape leaves in brine, drained and rinsed 

1 cup white rice, rinsed and drained 

1/2 cup chopped parsley 

1/2 cup chopped mint 

1/2 cup chopped scallions 

1/2 cup chopped tomatoes 

1/4 cup olive oil 

1/4 cup lemon juice 

1 tsp salt 

1/2 tsp black pepper 

1 1/2 cups water 

Instructions: 

1 In a large bowl, mix together the rice, parsley, mint, scallions, and tomatoes. Add the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper, and mix until well combined. 

2 Take a grape leaf and place it shiny side down on a work surface. Add a spoonful of the rice mixture to the center of the leaf. Fold the sides of the leaf over the filling, then roll it up from the bottom to the top to create a tight cylinder. Repeat with the remaining grape leaves and filling. 

3 Place the stuffed grape leaves in a pot, seam side down, and add enough water to cover them. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 30-40 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the grape leaves are tender. 

4 Serve hot or cold.
