???? STUFFED GRAPE LEAVES INGREDIENTS
2 tablespoons olive oil plus more for drizzling between layers
1 pound ground beef
1/2 teaspoon salt plus more for seasoning layers
2 teaspoons AllSpice
1 1/2 cups short grain rice
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 jar grape leaves about 60-70 in brine
2 medium Yukon gold potatoes sliced
1/4 cup lemon juice
INSTRUCTIONS
Prepare Stuffing (Hashweh)
1. Heat a large pan with olive oil, and cook ground beef until browned. Season with salt and AllSpice.
2. Add uncooked rice to the ground beef, then cinnamon and mix well until everything is incorporated.
3. To stuff and roll the grape leaves, lay a grape leaf flat on a cutting board, scoop out a heaping teaspoon of the rice mixture into the center of the grape leaf, and carefully fold in the sides and roll it like you would when making a wrap.
4. The trick is to roll it tightly enough so that it doesn't unravel while cooking, but not too tightly since the rice needs room to expand as it cooks.
Grape Leaves Preparation
5. Drain grape vine leaves and soak them in a large bowl of water.
6. Gently separate and wash the leaves individually. Stack them on a plate and set them aside. It is best to cover them with a damp cloth so they don't dry out, until you are ready to start rolling them.
Stuff, Wrap and Cook
7. To stuff and roll the grape leaves, lay a grape leaf flat on a cutting board, scoop out a heaping teaspoon of the rice mixture into the center of the grape leaf, and carefully fold in the sides and roll it like you would when making a wrap. Repeat until all the stuffing has been used and place the wrapped grape leaves in a tray.
8. Line the bottom of a large pot with tomatoes and/or potatoes and season with salt and pepper. Neatly arrange the stuffed and rolled grape leaves in rows, alternating directions, to completely cover the circumference of the pot. Drizzle each layer with olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste.
9. Place small round plate on top of grape leaves in the pot to hold them down and prevent floating while they are cooking.
10. Add 5-6 cups of boiling water to completely cover the grape leaves and the plate, then cover the pot and cook on Medium heat for 30 minutes, until most of the water is absorbed and the rice is cooked.
11. Add the lemon juice on top of the grape leaves, then cook on low heat for an additional 45 minutes.

The Perfect Appetizer: A Ring of Stuffed Grapeleaves Exohiko from Thessaloniki
Stuffed grape leaves are a classic Greek appetizer that is usually served at every dinner party. Rice, herbs, and ground meat are combined and stuffed in tender grape leaves. They’re individually rolled and that can take plenty of time. However, in this recipe, a giant stuffed grape leaves ring is formed using a Bundt pan and then served with a delicious avgolemono sauce. The result is beautiful, tasty, and so easy to put together.
Printable recipe:
Ingredients
1 pound grape leaves from the jar, rinsed and dried
1 pound ground beef
1 onion, finely chopped
1/3 cup olive oil plus more for the pan
1 cup Basmati rice
Salt and black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons finely chopped mint
2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
1 teaspoon dried crushed oregano
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1 cup shredded parmesan cheese
Juice of a lemon
1 cup of water
For the Avgolemono Gravy:
2 cups chicken broth
2-4 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 egg yolks
1 tablespoon corn starch
Salt, to taste
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400 °F, 200 °C.
Rinse the rice under cold water 4-5 times until the water runs clear and allow it to soak for 10-15 minutes in cold water.
Cook the onions with the olive oil over medium heat until soft and golden. About 8 minutes.
Add the ground beef and cook until the pink disappears. About 5-6 minutes.
Season with salt and pepper.
Drain the rice and add it to the pan with a half teaspoon of salt and lemon juice.
Add 1 cup of water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cover the pan.
Cook for 5-6 minutes until the liquid is absorbed. The rice will only be partially cooked.
Remove from the heat and add the herbs.
Add the parmesan cheese and mix together.
Whisk the eggs together in a small bowl and add some of the warm rice mixture to them to temper it.
Add the eggs to the rice and mix together.
Grease the inside of the bundt pan very well with olive oil.
Remove the stems from the grape leaves and cover the inside of the pan with grape leaves.
Add the filling to the center and fold the grape leaves over the filling
Top with another layer of grape leaves and tuck them inside.
Pour a cup of warm water on top and squeeze the juice of half of a lemon on top. Drizzle with a quarter cup of olive oil.
Bake on the center rack of the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes.
Allow it to cool for at least 35 minutes so that it can release easily.
Make the Avgolemono Gravy:
Bring the chicken broth to a boil.
Combine the egg yolks, cornstarch, and lemon juice in a bowl and whisk together.
Add some hot broth to the egg mixture and whisk together.
Add the egg mixture to the stock and cook over medium heat until it thickens. About 3-4 minutes.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. If it thickens too much, add some more broth.
Run a knife around the bundt pan to release the stuffed grape leaves.
Place a serving platter on top of the pan and carefully flip it over.
Serve the exohiko with the gravy and a few lemon wedges. Tzatziki pairs well also. Enjoy!

Dolmadakia Avgolemono: Greek Style Stuffed Grape Leaves with a Lemony Sauce
Get this recipe with the exact measurements on my website:
Makes about 30 grape leaves:
1 pound cut up lamb shoulder (with bone)
16 ounces grape leaves from a jar, rinsed, drained, and stems removed
3/4 cup olive oil
1 pound ground lean beef
½ cup rice, uncooked
1 onion, finely chopped
4 cups water or chicken broth
½ cup chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint
1 teaspoon dried crushed oregano
1 teaspoon salt or to taste
freshly ground pepper to taste
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
For the lemon sauce:
3 cups dolmades broth
¼ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 egg yolks
1 and 1.2 tablespoons corn starch
Salt, to taste
¼ - ½ teaspoon dried dill
Combine the onion with ¼ cup olive oil in a pot and cook over medium heat until soft and golden. About 10 minutes.
Combine the ground beef, herbs, rice, salt and pepper in a large mixing bowl and mix well. Add the cooked onions and the oil that they were cooked in. Mix until combined.
Rinse and dry the grape leaves. Cut the hard stem from each leaf. Reserve the smallest and the torn leaves to lay on bottom of pot.
Lay a grape leaf shiny side down and place a tablespoon of rice filling on the bottom end of the leaf, near the stem.
Fold the stem end of leaf over the filling. Fold the sides over and roll up snugly but not too tight. The rice will expand while cooking.
Repeat with all of the remaining grape leaves until your filling is done.
Layer half of the small and torn grape leaves to create a bed for the dolmades in a pot.
Season the lamb on both sides with salt and pepper and place in the pot along with the grape leaves.
Place the dolmades seam side down and very close together over the bed of leaves. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Pour the olive oil and lemon juice over the dolmades.
Place the remaining reserved small leaves over the dolmades.
Pour the water or chicken stock over the dolmades.
Place an inverted plate over the dolmades to weigh them down and to prevent them from moving around and opening while cooking.
Cover with lid and bring to a boil.
Reduce to a simmer and cook about 45 minutes or until tender.
Carefully strain the liquid out of the pot into a pitcher. There should be 3 cups of liquid. Add more water or chicken broth if there’s not enough. Place the broth in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
Combine the egg yolks, cornstarch, lemon juice, and dill in a small bowl and whisk together until smooth.
Add some of the hot broth to the eggs and whisk well to temper.
Add the egg mixture to the pot and whisk to combine. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Cook 2-3 minutes or until slightly thickened.
Either pour the sauce over the dolmades or pour some over them and serve the remaining sauce in a gravy boat alongside the dolmades with some lemon wedges.
Enjoy!
