Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a large bowl, combine the cooked rice, chickpeas, chopped onion, diced tomato, parsley, mint, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Grape Leaves

    If using preserved grape leaves, rinse them under cold water to remove excess brine. Lay them flat on a clean surface.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Wraps

    Place about 1-2 tablespoons of the filling at the base of each grape leaf. Fold the sides over the filling and roll tightly from the base to the tip. Repeat until all grape leaves and filling are used.

  4. 4

    Cook the Wraps

    In a large pot, arrange the wrapped grape leaves seam side down. Add enough water to cover the wraps. Drizzle with a little olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Cover and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 30-35 minutes.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Once cooked, let the wraps cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature, drizzled with additional lemon juice if desired.
