Ready in 30 minutes

Ingredients

1 1/2 lb Onions

1 c olive oil

1 3/4 c Rice

1/2 c Parsley

2 tb Dill

1/2 ts Mint

2 Lemons, juiced

1 tb Pine nuts (up to 2)

1 Jar grape leaves

Lemon wedges


Directions

From J.R. Brimmer III saute onions in olive oil. Add rice & brown lightly. Cook rice according to directions with half the lemon juice. Add dill, mint, parsley, & pine nuts. Rinse grape leaves in cold water. Remove stems and place 1 tablespoon of rice mixture on dull side folding in sides & rolling up leaves. Put in 10x13 pan, open end down. Cover with remaining oil, lemon juice and enough water to cover at least 1/2 the dolmathes. Cover with aluminum foil & place in a 375F oven for 45 minutes. When cool stack on a plate, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 day. Serve with lemon wedges. Comment from JRB: This recipe is similar to the cold Dolmathes served at the Parthenon Restaurant in Chicago. There are 2 varieties, hot and cold. I prefer the cold version.
