Zubereitung von Dolmades With Yogurt Mint Sauce
- **Prepare the Grape Leaves:**
- Rinse 1 pound fresh or 1 jar (14.5 oz) canned grape leaves under cold water and drain.
- If using fresh leaves, place them in a bowl, cover with cold water, and let stand for 30 minutes to soften. Drain.
- If using canned leaves, drain and discard the brine and set aside.
- **Prepare the Rice Filling:**
- Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a heavy medium saucepan over medium-low heat.
- Add 1/2 cup finely chopped onion and 2 cloves minced garlic. Sauté until very tender, about 10 minutes.
- Stir in 1 cup long-grain rice and 1 teaspoon ground cumin. Cook for 1 minute.
- Add 2 cups vegetable broth and 1/4 cup currants.
- Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let cool completely.
- Gently stir in 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans, 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley, and 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- **Assemble the Dolmades:**
- Lay a grape leaf, veined-side up, on a clean work surface.
- Place 1 rounded tablespoon of the rice filling onto the stem end of the leaf, leaving a 1/2-inch border.
- Fold the two bottom sides over the filling, then roll up tightly from the stem end to the tip.
- Repeat with the remaining grape leaves and filling.
- **Cook the Dolmades:**
- Arrange the dolmades seam-side down in two heavy 12-inch skillets.
- Divide 3 tablespoons olive oil and 2 cups vegetable broth evenly between the skillets.
- Cover and simmer over medium-low heat until the liquid is absorbed and the dolmades are tender, about 30-40 minutes.
- Uncover and let the dolmades cool slightly.
- Transfer to a platter, cover, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
- **Prepare the Yogurt Mint Sauce:**
- In a small bowl, combine 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint, and 1 clove minced garlic.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- **Serve:**
- Place the chilled dolmades on a serving platter, garnish with lemon wedges, and serve immediately with the yogurt mint sauce.
