The best stuffed grape leaves recipes I’m sure that most of you are sick and tired from the same old same meals, prepared in the American way. In search of something more unique and delicious on the menu, one must be creative in order to enrich his diet. The best way is to dig into the enormous traditional recipe books that every country has to offer. Greek cuisine is probably among the most famous one around the world and their foot shouts tradition, history and love towards food. However, not everyone has the courage to put his fingers in another country’s cuisine. Not because it’s prohibited or something, but it’s the doubt of making something right and properly Greek. The reason why I’ve decided to explore the cooking recipes famous in Greece is of course because of my last visit there. You cannot go in Greece and not fall in love with its tradition and cuisine.

Today on the menu- Stuffed Grape Leaves

Probably one of the most delicious and most unique recipe I have ever tasted. The landlady from my apartment there, was kind enough to share with me her secret and after several attempts, I think I mastered the recipe.

Ingredients:

-Fresh grape leaves- large as your palm

-White rice

-Onion- medium size

Season the mixture according to taste and cook until the meat is well-done. Then you add white rice and you keep it on the stove for several minutes, until united. While the mixture is preparing, pour boiled water over the grape leaves, until they get tender enough. Carefully fill every grape leaf with the mixture, careful not to crush them or break them in half. After you’ve used all the leaves and mixture, put them in a large pan, pour hot water over them and cook them on a medium heat for 45 min or one hour tops. You can cover the stuffed grape leaves with something hard in order to keep them together. Bon
