Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Cook the rice. Finely chop the mint and parsley. Dice the onion.
Step 2
Place the grape leaves in a large bowl, cover them with boiling water, and let them sit for an hour. Then drain the water into another container — you'll need it later — and rinse the leaves under cold water, then pat them dry.
Step 3
In another bowl, combine the ground meat, chopped onion, herbs, and cooked rice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 4
Place the leaves on a wooden board with the smooth side facing down. In the center of each leaf, add a tablespoon of the meat and rice mixture, then roll each leaf into a tight roll.
Step 5
Place the prepared rolls in a large pot, making sure they cover the bottom in a single layer. Mix the vegetable broth with the remaining water from soaking the grape leaves and pour this mixture over the rolls, just enough to barely cover them. Place an inverted plate on top to keep the rolls in place, and set the pot over medium heat.
Step 6
Bring the liquid in the pot to a boil, then simmer covered for about 45 minutes, until the grape leaves are tender.
Step 7
Arrange the dolma on a large platter and drizzle with a mixture of olive oil and lemon juice.
