Cook the Rice
Add the long-grain rice to the skillet and stir for a few minutes until slightly toasted. Add vegetable broth or water, salt, black pepper, lemon juice, parsley, and dill. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until rice is cooked. Remove from heat and let cool.

Stuff the Grape Leaves
Carefully remove grape leaves from the jar and rinse in cold water. Lay a grape leaf flat, stem side towards you. Place about 1-2 tablespoons of the rice mixture at the base of the leaf, fold in the sides, and roll tightly. Repeat until all leaves and filling are used.
