做法
分步操作
- 1
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, short grain rice, yellow onion, fresh dill, fresh mint, parsley, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
约 10分钟
烹饪提示: Do not overmix the filling, as this can make the meat tough.
- 2
Lay a grape leaf flat on a clean surface with the stem end facing you and the shiny side down. If the leaves are large, you may trim off any thick stems.
烹饪提示: Use any torn or small grape leaves to line the bottom of your pot to prevent the dolmades from sticking.
- 3
Place a small spoonful of the filling near the stem end of the grape leaf.
烹饪提示: Start with a small amount of filling until you get a feel for how much fits comfortably in each leaf, usually about 1-2 teaspoons.
- 4
Fold the bottom part of the leaf over the filling, then fold in the sides towards the center.
- 5
Roll the leaf tightly upwards from the bottom to form a compact cylindrical shape.
约 25分钟
烹饪提示: Rolling them tightly is key to prevent them from unraveling during cooking.
- 6
Repeat the rolling process with the remaining grape leaves and filling.
- 7
Line the bottom of a large heavy-bottomed pot with any extra or torn grape leaves, then arrange the rolled dolmades snugly in layers, seam-side down, in the pot.
约 5分钟
烹饪提示: Arranging them snugly helps them maintain their shape during cooking.
- 8
Pour the water, chicken broth, and lemon juice over the dolmades. Place a heatproof plate directly on top of the dolmades to keep them submerged in the liquid.
烹饪提示: The plate prevents the dolmades from floating and unraveling.
- 9
Bring the liquid to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 60 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and the grape leaves are tender.
约 1小时
烹饪提示: Check occasionally to ensure there's enough liquid; add more hot water if needed.
- 10
Remove the pot from the heat and let the dolmades rest for a few minutes before serving.
约 5分钟
- 11
Serve warm, garnished with fresh lemon wedges.
