Ingredients
For the dolmades:
- 400 g vine leaves in brine, rinsed, drained and patted dry
- 500 g ground beef
- 1 red onion grated or finely chopped
- 3 tablespoon parsley finely chopped
- 3 tablespoon dill finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon mint finely chopped
- ¼ cup long-grain rice
- 3 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 tablespoon black pepper
- 2 ½ cups water
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
For the avgolemono:
- 2 egg
- lemon juice of 1
Instructions
- Line the base of a medium to a large-sized pot with vine leaves and set aside.
- Combine the meat, onion, herbs, rice, olive oil and seasoning in a bowl and mix to combine thoroughly.
- Have your vine leaves, meat mixture, pot and everything ready to get rolling.
- To make dolma, lay a vine leaf (stem side facing you) on a clean bench and place a tablespoon of the meat filling in the centre of the leaf.
- Fold up the sides into towards the centre and proceed to roll
- Roll neatly into a parcel, ensuring everything is tucked in. Perfect! Repeat for the remaining vine leaves until all the dolmades are completed.
- Stack neatly in layers (seam side down) in the pot you preppped earlier, drizzle with olive oil and place a plate (obviously one that will fit your pot!) on top of the dolmades. Place on a medium to high heat, add the water and allow to cook for approx. 45 mins until the leaves are tender.
- Once cooked, beat the eggs and lemon juice and temper this mixture by adding a few ladles of the cooking liquid from the dolmades. Whisk thoroughly and add to the pot. Shake the pot a few times, allow to rest for 5 mins before serving.
