How to make stuffed vine leaves

  • Wash the rice in several changes of cold water.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a heavy bottomed pan and fry the onion and garlic until translucent.
  • Stir in the rice and cook for a few minutes before covering with boiling water. Use about 2/3 water to 1/3 rice by volume.
  • Bring back to the boil, then cover the pan and turn the heat down very low.
  • The rice should be cooked in about 40 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, drain the chestnuts and chop them finely.
  • Heat the butter in a pan and add the mushrooms.
  • When they are tender, add the tomatoes, chestnuts and herbs.
  • Stir once or twice and remove from the heat.
  • When the rice is cooked, mix it thoroughly with the nut stuffing and check the seasoning.
  • Use it, by the spoonful, to stuff the vine leaves.
  • Pack them into an ovenproof dish, brush with olive oil and cover the dish with foil.
  • Heat through in the oven.
  • Stuffed vine leaves are best eaten hot, but they are good cold too, if you have any left over.
