Stuffed Leaves with Olive Oil
Ingredients:
To prepare:
- 250 gr. pickled leaves
- 2 cups of rice
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 bunch parsley, finely chopped
- 1/2 bunch of dill, finely chopped
- 1/2 bunch of mint, finely chopped
- 1/2 tea glass Turna Riviera Olive Oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon of powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons of pine nuts
- 2 tablespoons of currants
To cook:
- 1/2 tea glass of Turna Riviera Olive Oil
- 1 cup of hot water
Recipe:
Preparation of the Leaves: To flavour the pickled leaves, first wash them in plenty of water, then blanch them in boiling water for 2-3 minutes and shock them in cold water. This process will make the leaves more flexible.
Preparation of the Inner Mixing: Fry the onion with half a tea glass of Turna Riviera Olive Oil. When it becomes pink, add washed and drained rice, chopped parsley, dill, mint, salt, black pepper and granulated sugar. Roast for a few more minutes and then add pine nuts and currants. Leave the stuffing to cool.
Preparing the rolls: Lay the leaves with the veined part on the bottom. Put a dessert spoonful of the stuffing on them. Fold the edges of the leaves inwards and roll them tightly.
Cooking:
Arrange the wraps in a pot with leaves or sliced potatoes on the bottom. Spread Turna Riviera Olive Oil between each layer. Cover the rolls with a plate and add 1 cup of hot water. Cook over medium heat for about 30-40 minutes until the water is absorbed.
Serving Preparation: After the rolls get cool, place them on a serving plate. Optionally, decorate with lemon slices and serve.
Bon Appetit!
