My Dolma recipe is available in caption👇 ¼cup  oil / 1large onion, minced / 1 ½ lbs lean ground beef or lamb or pork / ¾cup short-grain rice / 3tspoons chopped of fresh mint or 3 tspoons dried mint / 3tablespoons chopped fresh dill or 3 teaspoons dried dill / salt & freshly ground black pepper / 100jarred grape leaves, packed in brine, rinsed thoroughly (about) / 1½lemons, juice of boiling water / 2 beef bouillon cubes DIRECTIONS Combine meat with oil, onion, herbs, rice and season generously.Line the pot you will be cooking your dolma in with a couple of layers of torn grape leaves (to prevent the dolma from being scorched while cooking).Place a grape leaf, shiny side down, on surface in front of you.If the stem is quite thick, cut it out with a knife, making a V.Pinch off about a teaspoon of the meat filling and place in the centre of the leaf.Fold in sides of leaf and roll up, not too loose and not too tight (allowing a bit for the expansion of the rice as it cooks), into neat little packets.Place neatly in pot and continue making dolma until you've used up all your meat mixture.Pour lemon juice over and cover dolma with boiling water, covering dolma with about 1/2 inch of water.Weight down with a plate and put lid on pot.Cook at a gentle simmer for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until rice is tender.Carefully remove dolma, and place in a heatproof platter.
