Subj : St. Raymond 05 To : All From : Dave Drum Date : Tue Jun 29 2021 14:58:46 MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06 Title: St. Raymond's Stuffed Grape Leaves Categories: Vegetables, Beef, Citrus, Rice Yield: 8 Servings 32 oz Jar grape leaves in brine 1 c Uncooked long-grain rice 1 1/2 lb Lean ground beef 1 ts Garlic powder 1/4 ts Allspice Salt & fresh ground pepper Water Lemon juice Rinse grape leaves thoroughly in cold water to remove the brine and squeeze out excess moisture. Set aside. Rinse rice and drain well. Mix rice with beef, garlic powder, allspice, salt and pepper, adding just enough water to moisten the mixture. Position a grape leaf so that the tip of the leaf is pointing away from you. Place about 1 Tbsp stuffing mix horizontally across grape leaf in a tube shape, leaving room around the edges for folding. Fold the bottom of the leaf over the top of the stuffing, then fold in the ends of the leaf. Roll the tube away from you to get a tight roll. Continue stuffing leaves until the stuffing mix is gone. Line the bottom of a saucepan with extra grape leaves, and arrange the stuffed leaves in the pan in rows. Sprinkle the rolls with salt. Place an inverted pan or heat-proof dish on top of the rolls and leave it on top during cooking. Add lemon juice to water and pour just enough water into the pan to cover the rolls. Bring to a boil on the stove, cover and reduce heat. Simmer on low heat until the rice is done, about 40 minutes.
