2 cups
rice
handful
toasted pine nuts

cranberries
handful
chopped parsley
1 tsp
dried mint
1/4 tsp

Instructions
Mix all the filler ingredients together in a medium sized bowl
In a separate pot, add EVOO sparingly, 1 cup of lemon juice, and 1/3 of a cup of
Vegetable broth bring to a boil and set aside.
Start filling the grape leaves and rolling them, arranging them , open side faced
down (so they donʼt open), in a medium depth pyrex dish.
Pour lemon juice mixture over the grape leaves and place in a 160 C preheated

Chefʼs tip : While the middle east usually adds yogurt for dipping, use Tahini
instead for your vegan version!
