Title: St. Raymond's Stuffed Grape Leaves
Categories: Vegetables, Beef, Citrus, Rice
Yield: 8 Servings

32 oz Jar grape leaves in brine
1 c Uncooked long-grain rice
1 1/2 lb Lean ground beef
1 ts Garlic powder
1/4 ts Allspice
Salt & fresh ground pepper
Water
Lemon juice

Rinse grape leaves thoroughly in cold water to remove
the brine and squeeze out excess moisture. Set aside.
Rinse rice and drain well. Mix rice with beef, garlic
powder, allspice, salt and pepper, adding just enough
water to moisten the mixture.

Position a grape leaf so that the tip of the leaf is
pointing away from you. Place about 1 Tbsp stuffing mix
horizontally across grape leaf in a tube shape, leaving
room around the edges for folding. Fold the bottom of
the leaf over the top of the stuffing, then fold in the
ends of the leaf. Roll the tube away from you to get a
tight roll. Continue stuffing leaves until the stuffing
mix is gone.

Line the bottom of a saucepan with extra grape leaves,
and arrange the stuffed leaves in the pan in rows.
Sprinkle the rolls with salt. Place an inverted pan or
heat-proof dish on top of the rolls and leave it on top
during cooking. Add lemon juice to water and pour just
enough water into the pan to cover the rolls. Bring to a
boil on the stove, cover and reduce heat. Simmer on low
heat until the rice is done, about 40 minutes.
