Mashi ( Dolmades)

Stuffed Vine leaves

Vine leaves in brine
2 tomatoes
1 med onion
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 crushed cloves garlic
cup of chopped dill
cup of chopped parsley
2 medium chopped chillis
one and half cups rice
teas salt
teas pepper
teas cinnamon
juice of 2 lemons or limes
quarter cup olive oil


Lay out vine leaves with veins upwards facing you and stalk to you.
Liquidize everything else except the rice, olive oil and lemon juice.
Pour contents into a bowl and add the washed and drained rice and mix.
Leave for half and hour till it absorbs most of the liquid and swells a little.
Take a little mixture and place in the middle of the vine leaf. Fold the end nearest you upwards over the rice, then fold in each edge carefully, then, roll away from you till it forms a little cigar shape.
Place this bundle in the bottom of a non stick pan and wrap and place tightly together till you have filled all the leaves. Make sure they are packed tightly together!
You can make 2 layers.
Then add the olive oil, lemon juice, and enough warm water to cover the leaves.
Place a plate on top of the leaves to keep them still whilst cooking.
Simmer over a low heat for about 20 mins. Remove from heat.
Do not disturb for 10-15 mins then serve with raita or hummous dip.

This is also a great basic recipe for any vegetable mashy.

You can also add a little ground meat to it, if you like.

If you don't learn from your mistakes, there's no sense making them.
