Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Run the beef and onion through the meat grinder

* Step 2

Add row rice and cut greens to the forcemeat. (You can replace fresh greens with dried)

* Step 3

Add salt, peppers and water and mix very well (perhaps with hands)

* Step 4

Lay the grape leaf on the table and with table spoon put some meat on it. Then wrap and sequentially put in a pan.

* Step 5

After either meat or grape leaves are finished, you are done :) Put the pan on the fire and close the cover for about 1 hour.

* Step 6

Serve hot. On the plates put some sour creme on the dolmas before eating. In Armenia we are putting non sweet yogurt (matsoun) but I am not sure you will find it everywhere in the world.
