Ingredients
- 1 bouquet of parsley
- 1 onion
- 1 cube of chicken stock
- pepper
- olive oil
- 50 vine leaves
- 150g of rice (round or basmati)
- 1 lemon
- 50g of pine nuts
Preparation
Step 1
A few hours before making your dolmas:
Step 2
Boil water and then put the vine leaves in it, blanch for 5 to 7 minutes. Then cool them before preparing them.
Step 3
Preparing the filling:
Step 4
Finely chop the onion.
Step 5
In a deep pan, sauté the onion in 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then add the rice and stir for 3 minutes.
Step 6
Pour in 40cl of water, then the cube of stock; simmer while stirring occasionally. The rice should not be completely cooked, but slightly firm.
Step 7
Finely chop the parsley and add it at the end of the cooking.
Step 8
Add the pine nuts (as many as you want), then the lemon juice (be careful not to throw away the lemon once it is emptied of its juice: we will need it for the cooking of the dolmas), pepper.
Step 9
Making the dolmas:
Step 10
Take a leaf, cut off the stem.
Step 11
Lay the leaf face down with the veins facing up. The tip of the leaf should be facing upwards.
Step 12
Place a teaspoon of filling at the bottom of the leaf; fold the 2 sides of the leaf towards the center, roll, up to the point. (the point helps to close the dolmas well).
Step 13
In a pot, arrange the dolmas tightly against each other, so that they hold together during cooking: I suggest you arrange them in a circle.
Step 14
Cooking the dolmas:
Step 15
Pour 20cl of water into the pot, a drizzle of olive oil, place the empty lemons on top of the dolmas and cover.
Step 16
Bring the cooking water to a boil, then immediately reduce the heat and then put on very low heat. Cook for at least 1 hour, add a little water for the cooking if necessary.
Step 17
Let cool for at least an hour in the refrigerator before serving.
