Cooking Instructions
- 1
If using fresh grape leaves, boil them in water for 5 minutes, then drain and let cool. If using pickled leaves, rinse and drain.
- 2
To prepare the filling, mix the parsley, rice, tomatoes, green onions, oil, spices, a pinch of salt, and half of the lemon juice.
- 3
Stuff the grape leaves by placing some filling inside each leaf, folding in the sides, and rolling it up without pressing too hard.
- 4
Place the potato slices at the bottom of the pot, then the carrot slices, and arrange the stuffed grape leaves in a circular pattern, with one end of each leaf touching the side of the pot and the other towards the center.
- 5
Place a heatproof plate upside down on top and press down slightly, then place a pot filled with water on top to keep it from moving during cooking.
- 6
Add water to the pot until it slightly covers the grape leaves, then add a little salt, the remaining lemon juice, and any leftover filling broth.
- 7
Cook over medium heat until there is no water visible on top.
- 8
To serve, invert the pot onto a serving platter after removing the plate and pot, so the potatoes are on top. It is best served cold.

Stuffed Grape Leaves Stuffed Grape Leaves
These are not the typical Greek stuffed grape leaves , these are almost my Grandmother's grape leaves or " cigars" as she called them.They do remind you of a cigar, but she would get her grape leaves wild by the railroad tracks. As she got older and the grapevine disappeared she bought them at the store.She had a special pot she used to cook them in, it was the same pot that when we were little we used as a booster chair.I basically use my stuffed pepper filling and roll it in grape leaves. If you like real tomato saucy sauce use more spaghetti sauce and less chicken broth. We like a little tomato flavor in ours. So we use chicken broth mostly.I would try the original and then adjust to your families likes.When I was little I did not like these, I only ate the filling. Now every so often I get a craving for these.They do take a while to make but you get faster as you go and you learn timesaving tricks to share with others. These freeze well if you have leftovers. Enjoy!fjordsmom
