Vegan stuffed grape leaves in oil — if you love plant-based food this recipe will be a top favorite. The filling resembles tabbouleh ingredients, with Egyptian rice used instead of bulgur. Be sure to increase the lemon for a brighter flavor!

Ingredients:

Grape leaves Filling: Parsley Tomato Green onion Fresh mint Egyptian rice Lemon juice Olive oil Salt Pomegranate molasses A pinch of hot pepper molasses - optional For the bottom of the pot: Carrot Potato Tomato Onion

Method:

Wash the vegetables, then drain them well.
Finely chop the parsley and the rest of the vegetables, then mix them with a small handful of washed and drained Egyptian rice (about a quarter cup of rice for each bunch of parsley).
Add lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and the pomegranate molasses, and stir the filling ingredients together.
Roll the grape leaves: place a generous amount of filling inside each leaf and roll it across, just like meat-stuffed grape leaves (use plenty of filling because the vegetables cook down).
In the bottom of the pot, arrange slices of vegetables as desired — for example onion, potato, carrot, and tomato — then arrange the rolled grape leaves on top.
Pour over the remaining filling liquid to help cover the rolls. If the filling liquid is not enough to submerge all the rolls, add water plus extra lemon juice, olive oil, and salt as needed.
Place a wide plate upside down over the rolls in the pot and put a weight on top. Bring the pot to a boil.
After it has boiled for a few minutes, remove the weight, cover the pot, and simmer on low heat until the grape leaves are tender — it will take about an hour, depending on the quantity of rolls.
Serve the stuffed grape leaves cold; they are best chilled in the refrigerator.
