½ kilo (1 lb. 2 oz) long-grain rice, wash and stained

½ kilo (1 lb. 2 oz) fresh or preserved vine leaves

2-3 spring (fresh) onions, finely sliced

2 tablespoons parsley finely chopped

2 tablespoons dill, finely chopped

1 teaspoon Knossos mint

Juice of one lemon

Salt-pepper

Wash the vine leaves well, scald them with boiling water and place them on a platter.

Prepare the stuffing as follows:

Saute the onions in the olive oil lightly. Add the washed and strained rice, the chopped parsley and dill, the mind, a small amount of water, salt and

pepper and let these cook for about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool. Place a teaspoon of the stuffing near the base of the leaf (at the stem end) and fold it as follows:

Press the stuffing into a small sausage-like shape and fold over it the stem end and both edges-towards the middle-inwards. Then roll the stuffed leaf over to make a tight small bundle. Line the bottom of a pot with vine leaves and lay the stuffed leaves in circles. When one layer is finished, begin a new one on its top. Add same water and lemon juice and cover the last layer of stuffed leaves with an inverted plate to prevent the leaves from coming apart. Cook on medium heat for an hour and a half. Serve cold.
