    List of Ingredients




    Stuffed Grape Leaves


    1 cup chopped fennel
    1 cup onion, chopped
    2 tomatoes, seeded and chopped
    One half cup uncooked rice
    2 Tbsp. olive oil
    One half cup fresh mint, chopped
    One third cup lemon juice
    One half tsp. red pepper
    One half tsp. salt
    1 large jar grape leaves
    3 cups chicken broth
    One half cup lemon juice
    One quarter cup olive oil
    Lemon slices for garnish

    Recipe




    Place fennel and onion in a food processor and process until minced. Combine with tomatoes, rice, 2 Tbsp. olive oil, mint, one third cup lemon juice, red pepper and salt and mix well.

    Drain liquid from grape leaves and rinse to remove some of the saltiness.

    Snip stems of grape leaves with scissors and lay leaves out flat.

    Place about 1 Tbsp. of filling on each grape leaf and roll from stem to end tip.

    You may need to secure with a toothpick.

    Place stuffed grape leaves on the bottom of a lightly greased saucepan, add chicken broth, one half cup lemon juice and one quarter cup olive oil and bring to a boil.

    Reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes covered.

    Drain liquid and garnish with lemon slices and chill before serving.
