How to cook Greek dolma

Step 1

Rinse the grape leaves from the brine, let dry. Boil rice until cooked, let cool.

Step 2

Grind dill and mint, add lemon zest and pulp, as well as olive oil. Season the resulting mixture to taste with rice, mix. Season to taste with salt and ground red pepper.

Step 3

Put on a grape leaf approximately 1.5 tbsp. l. rice mixture, wrap the sheet in the form of a cylinder, close the free edges. Repeat the same with the remaining leaves and rice. Let stand in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
