DOLMAS - STUFFED GRAPE VINE LEAVES

DOLMAS, this is a Middle East typical dish, I like them because the grape vine leaf  infuses the stuffing with a lemony flavor.
You'll need aprox. 20 leaves.

INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 pound ground lamb
2 medium onions finely chopped
1 1/2 cup cooked rice
2/3 cup pine nuts
2 tablespoons fresh chopped mint
salt and pepper to taste.

Mix all the ingredients and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Place a leaf rib side down onto your working table.

Place a tablespoon of the filling in the leaf's center.

Fold the bottom of the leaf over the filling, fold in the sides and roll.

Repeat with remaining leaves.

Place the dolmas in a steamer and steam them for 30 minutes.

Enjoy.
