Lamb and Rice Stuffed Grape Leaves

Instructions

  1. 1 Place ground lamb, rice, 1/4 cups olive oil, mint, currants, pine nuts, salt, pepper, cumin, cinnamon, oregano, and egg in a bowl. Mix together thoroughly with a fork. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
  2. 2 Gently unroll and separate grape leaves. Rinse in cold water to remove brine. Drain. Reserve broken or less-than-perfect leaves to line pot.
  3. 3 Place grape leaves on work surface with smooth side down (ribs of leaves up). Place a rounded tablespoon of lamb-rice filling near bottom-center of grape leaf. Fold bottom sections of leaf over mixture, fold over sides, and roll toward the top of the leaf into a firm cylinder. Don't roll too tightly or leaves may burst when rice cooks.
  4. 4 Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil into pot; line bottom of pot with 1 or 2 layers of reserved grape leaves. Place dolmas in pot by arranging them along the sides, then working toward the center to cover the bottom. Leave enough space between dolmas to allow for expansion, but close enough to hold their shapes when cooking. If necessary, stack another layer on top of the first so they all fit. Pour in lemon juice and 2 teaspoons olive oil.
  5. 5 Invert a small plate and then a larger plate over the dolmas to weigh them down while they cook and prevent them from shifting. Pour in hot chicken broth. Bring to a simmer, uncovered, over medium-high heat. As soon as liquid is heated through and starting to bubble (2 to 4 minutes), reduce heat to low, cover the pot, and cook 35 minutes. Remove plates and check for doneness. Dolmas should look a bit puffed up, and a fork should pierce them easily. If not quite done, continue cooking without the weights: cover the pot and simmer until rice is tender, 10 to 15 minutes longer.
  6. 6 Serve warm or chilled. Garnish with curls of lemon zest, if desired.

Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  2. 2 Place prepared apples in a medium saucepan. Drizzle lemon juice over top, then add water and stir. Sprinkle brown sugar and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon over the apples; stir again. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until apples reach your preferred softness, about 40 minutes.
  3. 3 Sprinkle apples with white sugar, then stir again. Cook for 5 more minutes. Remove saucepan from heat. Let mixture cool for about 10 minutes.
  4. 4 Set a small bowl of water by work area. Lay an egg roll wrapper in front of you so the point is top and bottom. Scoop 1 to 2 tablespoons of the apple mixture along the middle of the wrapper.
  5. 5 Fold the bottom point of the wrapper up and over the filling, tucking the end around it. Gently roll up one time. Wet the sides of the roll and fold over edges (so it makes a little purse).
  6. 6 Roll up the wrapper the rest of the way and brush with water to seal. Lightly brush completed roll with water. Mix 1/4 cup white sugar and remaining 1 teaspoon cinnamon together in a bowl. Gently roll egg roll in cinnamon-sugar mixture. Repeat with remaining filling and wrappers.
  7. 7 Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper and carefully lay completed egg rolls on it. Air-fry for 7 minutes, then turn over. Continue to air-fry until light golden brown, about 7 minutes more.
