Rinse and Soften
Carefully rinse the canned grape leaves under cold water to remove excess brine. Then, place them in a pot of boiling water for about 2-3 minutes to soften them. Drain and let cool.
Stuff the Grape Leaves

Fill and Roll
Lay a grape leaf flat on a clean surface, vein side up. Place about 1-2 tablespoons of the filling near the stem end of the leaf. Fold the sides over the filling and roll tightly from the stem end to the tip. Repeat with the remaining grape leaves and filling.
Cooking

Arrange and Simmer
In a large pot, arrange the stuffed grape leaves in a single layer. Pour the vegetable broth over the leaves and place a plate on top to keep them submerged. Cover the pot and simmer on low heat for about 30-35 minutes, or until the leaves are tender.
