Stuffed grape leaves with olive oil, a homemade recipe and nothing better... Vegetarian food lovers adore this dish :)

1 cup rice

2 cups chopped parsley

2 cups finely chopped tomatoes

1/4 cup chopped fresh mint

1/2 cup chopped green onion or dried onion

1 teaspoon dried mint

1 teaspoon sumac

Salt to taste

Hot chili powder to taste

1/4 teaspoon white pepper

Ground cardamom 1/2 teaspoon

Olive oil to taste

1/2 cup lemon juice

2 tablespoons pomegranate molasses

Green grape leaves, boiled for a few minutes in boiling water, or pickled grape leaves

Potato and carrot slices, plus green fava beans, for the bottom of the pot

Mix all the chopped vegetables, then add the spices, lemon juice, oil, and salt, and mix well.
Strain the grape leaf filling and keep the liquid to add later over the cooking pot after wrapping the leaves.
Wrap the grape leaves by placing a portion of filling inside each leaf and rolling it closed, folding the edges inward first.
In the cooking pot, arrange pieces of potato, carrot, and whole green fava beans to cover the bottom so the leaves do not stick.
Arrange the stuffed grape leaves in the pot, then drizzle olive oil over the top.
Add salt to taste to the liquid strained from the filling, then pour this liquid over the pot of grape leaves. You can also add plain water if the filling liquid is not enough. The important thing is to completely cover the leaves with water.
Place a plate on top with a weight on it to press the leaves down so they do not open while boiling.
Let the stuffed grape leaves boil over high heat for half an hour, then reduce the heat very low for an hour and a half, or according to the type and toughness of the leaves.
Serve the stuffed grape leaves cold, at room temperature or from the refrigerator, with lemon (for those who like to add more).
