CarbsPerServing:
3 - 5 (1 carb per wrapped leaf) Effort:
Easy
Ingredients:
1 whole leg of ground lamb *or
extremely lean red meat*
1/2 cup of pine nuts
Amt of all spice (whole) to liking (minimal amt)
*you can choose to alter what you put in your lamb filler*
Water
lemon juice
Tiny can of tomato sause.
Direction:
You have to estimate the amt of
filling for the leaves because of the varying sizes. DO NOT
overstuff the leaves. Layer and tightly lay the wrapped grape
leaves in your pot. Lemon juice and tomato in pot and THEN add
just enough water to cover the grape leaves. You want then to
make sure that you have a plate or something heavy to keep the
grape leaves from floating around. If they float at all then
they will unwrap and you wont have Lamb in Grape Leaves.
SIMMER ! NOT BOIL
Takes about 1 1/2 - 2 hours. Just test for the leaves to be
cooked. Carb count per leave minus the dietary fiber is .6
carbs. Pine nuts are only 4 carbs per 1/2 cup. So they are not
even measureable unless you eat the whole pot LOL.
