Ingredients 12 items

  • 1 kg vine leaves
  • 1 cup Long grain white rice
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 400 g minced beef
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup Raisins
  • 6 tablespoons pomegranate molasses
  • 1.5 cups Walnuts
  • 2 teaspoons Tarragon, dried
  • 2 cubes MAGGI Chicken Stock
  • 6 cups Water
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

How to prepare

  1. Dip the vine leaves in boiling water and lift immediately; then refresh under cold water and drain.
  2. Start to prepare the stuffing by half cooking the Rice in boiling water, strain and set aside.
  3. In a deep frying pan, melt Butter, add Minced Meat, and sauté for 10 minutes on medium-high heat. Add to the pan the Cinnamon, Tarragon, Raisins, 4 tbs Dibis Raman, and chopped Walnuts and sauté for another 5 minutes.
  4. Gently add half cooked rice, taking care not to break the rice grains.
  5. Spread each vine leaf (shiny side down) on a flat surface. Put 1 tablespoon or teaspoon of the stuffing on each leaf (depending on the size); fold its sides a bit and roll it.
  6. Tightly Arrange and pack the stuffed vine leaves together in layers in a medium size pot with no space between.
  7. Put a heavy plate on top to keep the rolls in shape during cooking.
  8. Add MAGGI Chicken Stock, Water and Dibis sauce into the pot up to a level that covers the vine leaves rolls, and then add the lemon juice. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for 1 hour, or until the leaves are tender. (Add hot water while cooking if necessary)
  9. Arrange the stuffed vine leaves in a platter. Serve with the remaining stock aside.
