Steps

1

Since my grape leaves are packed, I don't boil them, I just wash them.
2

Mix the stuffing ingredients together. I prefer the vegetables to be dominant.
3

Start arranging the stuffed grape leaves over the potato slices. If I have zucchini, I stuff them with the same filling.
4

Place slices of meat between each layer, and add sliced onions, carrots, and tomatoes on top.
5

Pour the remaining stuffing liquid over the pot and place it on medium heat until it boils, then add the covering mixture (water + salt + lemon juice).
6

This way, the grape leaves don't fall apart. Then, cook on very low heat for about an hour or more until well done.

Enjoy your meal! 🍴
