    List of Ingredients




    (Greek Dolmades)

    1 lb lean ground meat
    1/4 cup washed, uncooked rice
    1 ts salt
    2 TB oil

    grape leaves

    1 lb great northern beans, cleaned and soaked overnight in cold water

    8 oz can tomato sauce
    1 ts salt
    1/4 cup oil

    juice of 1 lemon

    Mix first four ingredients. Mold into tiny cigar shapes. Roll
    each securely in a grape leaf. (Roll up once or twice from the
    bottom of the leaf, fold in the sides, and then roll the rest of
    the way. Don't roll too tight: the rice will expand some.) Place
    half of the beans in pressure cooker or large heavy pot with cover.
    Lay yaprakis on top in one closely-packed layer. Place rest of
    beans on top. Into water from beans put tomato sauce, salt, oil.
    Pour carefully into pot. Water should be 1"-1 1/2" higher than
    beans. Invert a china plate on top. Cover. In pressure cooker,
    cook 1 hour. In pot, cook 3 1/2 hours. When beans are tender as
    butter, squeeze juice of one lemon over all. Serve with rice.

    Note: The pressure cooker version comes out with slightly tougher
    grape leaves.
