| 1. This recipe is not difficult but takes some time to make. | 2. Drain the grape leaves and put them in a large heat-proof bowl. | 3. Pour just enough boiling water over the leaves to cover and let them soak for about 20 minutes. | 4. Drain and rinse under cold water. | 5. In the meantime, heat 1/4 cup of olive oil in a medium skillet. | 6. Add onions and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. | 7. Remove the skillet from heat and add rice, mint, lemon zest, Cavenders Greek Seasoning and fried ground beef. | 8. Mix thoroughly; making sure the rice is well-coated with oil. | 9. To fill the leaves, spread out one grape leaf in front of you, vein side up and stem end toward you. Place ~2 teaspoons of the rice mixture in the center, fold stem end over the filling, bring the sides of the leaf towards the center and roll tightly, forming a cylinder. | 10. Repeat until all the filling in the dolmas recipe is used. | 11. Place dolmas close together and seam side down in a large skillet, in a single layer, if possible. If not, separate the layers with extra grape leaves. | 12. Drizzle the lemon juice and the remaining olive oil over the dolmas and add boiling water to cover. | 13. Cover the pan tightly and simmer for 1 hour. | 14. Let the parcels cool in the liquid, then transfer to a serving platter. Serve at room temperature. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
