  • 2 cups rice
  • 1 cup chick peas
  • Salt
  • 1 large onion, chopped fine
  • 1 pound chopped tomatoes
  • 1 sprig parsley
  • Mint leaves
  • ½ cup oil
  • 1 cup lemon juice
  • 2 cups vine leaves

    • How To Cook:
    1. Wash and drain rice, peel chick peas (which have been soaking overnight) and add to rice with 1 teaspoon salt.

    2. Add the onion and tomatoes, chopped parsley and mint. Mix all together with the oil and half the lemon juice.

    3. Dip the vine leaves in hot water to make them pliable and roll each leaf round a heaped teaspoonful of the rice mixture.

    4. Place the rolls closely side by side in a pan and place a plate on top of them, to hold them down.

    5. Pour over 4½ cups boiling water and let them simmer for ½ hour. Remove the plate and continue to simmer until the rice is tender.

    6. Remove from the stove; pour over the rest of the lemon juice and let stand covered for ½ hour. Serve cold.
