Ingredients

Directions

Step #1 Heat oil in a medium saucepan over med-heat/flame.
Step #2 Saute onions until tender.
Step #3 Stir in rice & hot water to cover.
Step #4 Cover & let simmer until rice is half cooked, about 10 mins.
Step #5 Remove from heat & stir in the tomato paste, currants, dill weed, mint leaves, pine nuts, cinnamon, allspice & cumin.
Step #6 Let mixture cool.
Step #7 Prepare a large pot by placing an inverted plate on the bottom; this protects the dolmas from direct heat when steaming.
Step #8 Rinse grape leaves in warm water; drain & cut off any stems.
Step #9 Place about 1 tsp of the cooled rice mixture in the center of a leaf.
Step #10 Fold in the sides & then roll this into a cigar shape.
Step #11 Place in prepared pot.
Step #12 Repeat with remaining ingredients.
Step #13 Pour in just enough warm water to reach the bottom of the first layer of dolmas.
Step #14 Cover & let simmer over low heat/flame for 30 to 45 mins, or until rice is totally cooked.
Step #15 Check the water level often & add more as necessary.
Step #16 .
