Yes that is right folks, this week there was a winner.. YAY!!!! Marylin was the first one to correctly guess that this weeks mysterious item was in fact prunes…
Julie also mentioned prunes in her answer as did Bendy girl…Jientje talked herself out of guessing prunes and went for dolmades instead.Taz also guessed that the ever so mysterious item was Prunes. So this week it is a great big *Yay* for the girls.
:- and because so many people mentioned dolmades here is a recipe for them..
DOLMADES aka STUFFED VINE LEAVES…
250g (8oz) onion, minced
410g (13oz) short grain rice
150ml (5 fl oz) olive oil
1 tablespoon dill, chopped
1/2 cup mint, chopped
1 tablespoon salt
40 small vine leaves
150ml (5 fl oz) lemon juice….
METHOD
1. Mix the onion,rice.oil,herbs,salt and lemon juice in a bowl. Boil some water and cover the vine leaves with boiling water and leave to soak for 15 minutes.
2. Put the vine leaves into cold water and leave for ten minutes.Drain and dry them flat on kitchen paper or a tea-towel.
3.Place one tablespoon of the rice mixture on the vine leaf and wrap like a parcel. ( use less mix if the leaves are small)
4.Place the stuffed leaves in a sacepan and cover with boiling water. Add 50ml(2fl oz) of lemon juice to the water. Place a plate over the top of them to keep them submerged and simmer for an hour.
You can use silverbeet or chard leaves if you dont have any vine leaves.
Cheers Kim
