Instructions
Step 1
Soak grape leaves in water for 15 minutes, then place in strainer.
Step 2
Mix together the washed and drained short-grain rice, dices tomatoes, onion, chopped parsley, olive oil, salt, seven spices, mint, and lemon. Taste it and adjust the salt if needed.
Step 3
Be sure to save the juice of the rice and veggies mixture since you will use it to cook the grape leaves. You can place the rice and veggies in a strainer over a bowl to collect the juice or once you are finished rolling the grape strain the juice over the rolled grape leaves in the pot.
Step 4
First, cut the small stem off the grape leaf then lay it flat on a hard surface, rough side facing up. Fill with about ½ tablespoon of stuffing.
Step 5
Fold over the grape leaf to cover the stuffing and roll in once tightly.
Step 6
Then, fold in from the left and right and continue rolling tightly. Place it in the instant pot or you can place it on a regular stovetop to cook over the stove.
Step 7
Once finished, strain the juice of the rice mixture and add over the rolled leaves in the pot.
Step 8
In a bowl, add the “broth mixture” ingredients listed above then mix, taste, and pour over the rolled leaves placed in the pot.
Step 9
Set pressure cooker on brown rice mode for 18 minutes high.
Step 10
Serve and enjoy.
