Finally add water to cover the plate and bring to a boil, Cover with the lid, reduce heat and simmer for about 30 - 35 minutes. Pinch of golfball size pieces of dough and roll into circles. Place on ungreased cookie sheet and press down just slightly so balls of dough don’t roll off the pan! Add vegetable oil (or very light olive oil) and knead into crumbly dough to combine completely. This will form a ball of dough. As potatoes need more time to bake, we must cut them into thin wedges about twice the size of potato chips. We realize that many of you (like us) work during the day, so suggested lunches are items which can be reheated or enjoyed cold or at room temperature.
In a bowl put the ground meat, the rice, the onion, parsley, herbs, salt and pepper, as well as half the olive oil and mix well. In a small glass, combine orange juice and brandy (and vanilla extract, if using) and mix them into dry ingredients until everything is completely incorporated and mixture is crumbly. Add the remaining tomato, olive oil as well as lemon juice and then cover them with a plate (which must be about the size of the pot). Other vegetables (such as green or coloured bell peppers, eggplants, zucchini, or even onions) can also be stuffed.Place neatly in the pot (I use the same one the cabbage was boiled) starting from the edge to the centre. Second and third layers may be placed on top, then cover with the plate (which must be exactly the size of the pan). This is done so that when the lahanodolmades are boiling they will not open.
I am sending this recipe to Yasmeen of Health Nut, for her event Well Balanced 3 Course Meals. I have already posted the starter, Fetatziki and the Apricot Meringue Dessert. In this picture the dessert is mpezes (meringue) with yoghurt mixed with whipped cream and Cherry Spoon Sweet. In helping you navigate the Nativity Fast, we hope that you will find more opportunity to grow in prayer and almsgiving. Almsgiving is the giving of alms; money and physical gifts offered to the needy or the poor. It is meant to change the giver, encouraging us to detach from physical comforts and excesses, and it reminds us that giving is a social act, which places us in a relationship with others. It is an act of solidarity with those who are struggling, and can be a show of support to those who are facing seemingly insurmountable odds and life challenges. If the leafs are very big cut them into pieces about 4 x 4 inches and remove any hard core. Add a heaped spoonful of minced meat (the amount of the filling will depend on the size of the leaf).

The flavour of good quality Greek extra virgin olive oil and all the sweet juices from the fresh ripe tomatoes and raisins. make a delicious sauce which should be mopped off the plate with fresh hot bread 🙂 Cut a horizontal slice off the top or bottom side of the tomato. Use a knife to cut off the larger chunks of their flesh and finish by using a teaspoon to scoop out the tomato flesh. Put it in a food processor and then purée. The post has been updated in May 2023 with instructions how to make the Gemista in the Air Fryer. Scroll down for the instructions.
Put a leaf on a plate, vein side facing up, remove stem and put about a tbsp of the mixture near the stem.
How we tested
Neatly fold left edge and then right edge and then roll all the way. Wrap up into a cigar shape (don’t fold too tight as the rice will expand during cooking). Repeat with the remaining leaves and filling and fold each side of the leaf and then roll.
Great Deal
