Papadakis Stuffed Grape Leaves
------------------------------
1 1/2 lb Ground lamb
1 lg Yellow onion; chopped fine
1 bn Parsley; chopped
1 bn Fresh mint; chopped
1 c Pine nuts
1/2 c Fresh lemon juice
1/2 c Olive oil
1/2 ts Oregano
1/2 ts Salt
1/2 ts Pepper
1 Jar grape leaves
Water (as needed)

Grape leaves should be washed and stems removed. In a large bowl place the
lamb, onions, parsley, mint, pine nuts, lemon juice, olive oil, oregano,
salt, and pepper. Mix the ingredients together with your hands so that they
are well combined. Lay a grape leaf out flat. Place approximately 3 ounces
of the lamb mixture in the center of the grape leaf. Fold over the stem
end. Fold over the two sides. Roll up the grape leaf so that the mixture is
completely encased. Repeat this process until all of the meat mixture is
used. Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line the bottom of a large baking dish
with approximately 10 grape leaves. Place the stuffed grape leaves in the
dish so that they are tightly packed. Cover the stuffed graped leaves with
water and bake them for 1 hour.
