Stuffed Grape Leaves



A couple of weeks ago — after fun times at happy hour with some friends — I happened to walk by a greek specialty store. I walked in pretty excited... I've been wanting to make stuffed grape leaves for a while and I knew I'd find them there. I left the store with a small jar of leaves, some amazingly fresh feta cheese, and a big smile.

The next day, recipe in hand, I got to work. I decided to try this vegetarian recipe, but instead of white rice i used brown rice (healthier and tasted the same). I recommend watching the video as well.

Though they required some patience to make (specially during the assembly) they where pretty easy. Cut up all the filling ingredients, wash up leaves, stuff, cook and eat! I served them with a quick yogurt sauce for dipping and they where delish (yogurt, lime juice, parsley, salt & pepper). The recipe makes a lot, so you'll have plenty of leftovers.
