It's Greek To Me!

Growing up, we had a grape vine in our back yard and my mother always picked the leaves and made home made Dolmades that we would and still do, fight for! 

I don't have a vine unfortunately, but you can buy them in a jar and just rinse them off. Combine:

2 lbs of beef with 2 cups of uncooked rice

Add salt and pepper, tbsp of garlic, tbsp of onion powder and mix together well. 

Place a leaf flat and put about a teaspoon of the mixture in the middle.... Fold in the side and roll up... Just like a cabbage roll 😀

Side in a pot and cover with water and about 1/4 cup lemon juice. Put a plate on top to keep them from floating and simmer for an hour to cook through and make leaves tender. 

Serve with A little butter , salt and lemon over top! Delicious!
