- 1
Prepare the grape leaves according to the instructions found in Zanice's recipe on how to blanch grape leaves.
- 2
In a wide pan, heat half of the olive oil. Grate the onions and zucchini on the coarse side of a grater. Sauté them in the warm, not hot, oil until they absorb their juices.
- 3
Add the rice, tomato paste, salt, paprika, turmeric, cumin, and plenty of salt (when you taste it, it should seem salty, as the rice and leaves will absorb the salt and balance the dish; otherwise, it will be bland).
- 4
Add 1 cup of water and let it absorb over very low heat.
- 5
Once the water is absorbed, finely chop the dill and parsley.
- 6
Transfer to a deep dish and prepare the dolmadakia by wrapping them nicely as shown in Phoebe's recipe.
- 7
Peel and slice the potato very thinly and layer it at the bottom of the pot; this way, no leaves are wasted, and it works perfectly.
- 8
Arrange the dolmadakia in the pot close to each other.
- 9
Add the remaining oil, the rest of the water, and cover with a plate.
- 10
Cover the pot and simmer for about an hour. Check if the rice is done and if there is still water from 45 minutes onwards.
- 11
Let them cool slightly, drizzle with lemon juice, and serve.
