Steps

2 hours

1

Season the rooster first with grated onion, salt, and pepper. Stuff it with rice mixed with liver and gizzards. To prepare the stuffing, sauté the liver and gizzards with an onion until the color changes. Add the rice, stir, then add the spices and water. Let it absorb the water, and once cooled, use it to stuff the rooster.
2

Prepare the grape leaves as usual and also prepare some green bell peppers.
3

For the grape leaf filling, sauté a large chopped onion. Add chopped bell pepper and a pinch of black pepper, and sauté. Add the tomatoes and spices, cook until thickened, then add the rice and chopped herbs: dill, parsley, and cilantro.
4

Stuff the grape leaves and bell peppers. Brush the rooster with tomato sauce and pomegranate molasses, pour broth over it, and cover with foil.
5

Bake in a hot oven at high temperature for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Enjoy!
6

If you have some leftover beef and grape leaves, sauté the beef, arrange it with the stuffed grape leaves, pour broth over, and bake in a hot oven for up to 1 hour.
