Steps

1 hour

1

Blanch the grape leaves in boiling water with salt and lemon juice until they change color, then remove them from the water.
2

Sauté the onion with the hot chili pepper until softened. Add the tomato paste, tomato juice, salt, black pepper, cumin, and coffee. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat.
3

Add the washed rice, dried mint, and chopped herbs to the sauce and mix well.
4

Stuff the grape leaves with the filling and arrange them in a pot over the tomato, onion, and bell pepper slices.
5

Pour hot broth over the stuffed leaves, just enough to almost cover the top layer. Squeeze lemon juice over them, place a plate on top to keep them in place, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until cooked through.
6

Serve hot and enjoy!
