    List of Ingredients




    Vegetarian Stuffed Grape Leaves


    0.5 c. veggie oil
    4 medium onions (chopped)
    1 c. uncooked rice
    1 c. parsley (minced)
    0.5 c. raisins
    0.5 c. tomato sauce
    1 c. water
    0.75 tsp. allspice
    0.5 tsp. pepper
    Grape leaves
    2 tsp. salt (or less/ to taste)

    Recipe




    Saute onions in the oil until browned. Add rice and cook on a low
    heat for 20 minutes (covered), stirring occasionally. Add all other
    ingredients (except grape leaves, of course) and cook for 5 minutes. When it
    has cooled a little, use approx. 1 tsp. of filling per grape leaf and roll up,
    as for a burrito. The filling should be totally enclosed. To cook the "raw"
    dolmas, line a large pot with grape leaves and arrange the dolmas in the pot.

    Put a plate on top to keep them from floating up, and cover with water.

    Simmer for about 1 hour.

    Mrs. Leitner goes on to mention that these can be served hot (with or without
    yogurt) or as a cold appetizer. Basically it's the same recipe as for stuffed
    cabbage, except there is no meat or cabbage. I've also tried dolmas elsewhere
    that leave out the raisins and tomato sauce, and sometimes add pine nuts to
    the mixture, but they are usually a bit more bland.
