Fish-Stuffed Grape Leaves

Ingredients

1 lb white fish fillets

½ lb Ziyad brand Grape Leaves

4 tomatoes, sliced

4 onions, sliced

Salt, to taste

Herbs: Sprigs of parsley, celery leaves, dill leaves finely chopped (or dried dill, 2 Tbsp), etc

Spices to season the fish

1 tbsp Ziyad brand Sumac

½ tsp white pepper

½ tsp Ziyad brand Corriander

4 Lemons (more as needed), juiced

¾ Sultan brand olive oil

salt

Rinse grape leaves in cold water. Remove remaining “stems” from leaves. Place leaves in a colander to drain while preparing the filling.

Season the fish and cut into chunks; roll the leaves. Line the pot with the onions and tomatoes and herbs and stack with the stuffed grape leaves.

Add 2 cups of water, the juice of the lemons and the olive oil; hold the stuffed leaves tight with a smaller plate. Bring to a gentle simmer, covering the pot; let the mixture bubble up for 40 minutes very gently; uncover. Cool a bit, taste and adjust seasoning. Serve at room temperature or slightly warm with additional lemon quarters.

Enjoy!!!
