Recipe of Rice Dolmades

Join me and let's see how to make Rice Dolmades

Instructions:

Step 1
• We wash the leaves very well - you always have to have 2 or 3 more in case one of them breaks - cut the branches, place a saucepan on the fire and cook them, they will be there for about 30 minutes. Once cooked, we drain them, dry them and set them aside.
Step 2
• While the leaves are cooking, we will prepare the filling: soak the raisins, toast the pine nuts in a pan without any fat, finely chop parsley and mint.
Step 3
• Peel and cut the onion, as small as possible, put another saucepan or medium pan on the fire, with a little oil to sauté with salt and pepper. When the onion has browned, add the rice, spices, raisins, pine nuts, parsley and spearmint, let it sauté a little, add 2 glasses of broth, cover and let it cook over medium heat, always watching if it needs more broth. It will be cooking for about 20 minutes. When it's done, we try salt and let it lose heat.
Step 4
• Fill the leaves by placing some of the rice in the center, closing from one side to the center and the other to the center to end up folding the edges down.
Step 5
• They are placed in a saucepan, making sure that they are tight to each other. They are watered with lemon juice, a good splash of olive oil and covered with broth. It will be cooking for about 30 minutes on low heat with a lid on low heat.
Step 6
• After that time we already have them. They are eaten cold and usually accompanied by yogurt sauce.
