2  LEMONS (Thinly sliced)

 

Stuffed Grape Leaf Roller

Labne Ingredients

1  QUART GREEK YOGURT (Plain)

2 TBSP CREOLE MUSTARD

1 TSP RED PEPPER FLAKES
1 TSP WHITE PEPPER
1 TBSP EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL

1 TSP LEMON ZEST (one large lemon, from lemon above)
1 TBSP LEMON JUICE

 

Specialized Equipment

Manual Grape Leaf Roller (See CHEF'S NOTES)

16" Wok

12" - 2 Tier Bamboo Steamer


Method

Stuffed Grape Leaf RollerLayer the bamboo steamer with lemon slices.  Place a grape leaf shinny side down on roller, add about 2 teaspoons of boudin stuffing to the well of the roller, then gently push down the ramp. You do NOT want to over-stuff OR under-stuff the grape leaves.... So this is a trial and error process on the first couple of rolls, it might take 4-5 trials to get it right.  

 

Shrimp Stuffed Grape LeafArrange the rolled-stuffed leaves in a spiral pattern in the steamer racks, continue until all stuffing is used or both bamboo steamer racks are filled.

 

Add about 1/2 quart of lemon water to the wok, place both tiers of steamers in the wok and over medium heat, steam for about 10 minutes.  Add the remaining stock as needed so as not to boil off the stock in the wok.

 

Meanwhile, add the labne ingredients to a display bowl and mix.

 

Alternate Method

Roll the grape leaves by hand in the traditional way.... BUT once you use the roller, you won't go back!

Chef's Notes:
WOW, what a great catering HDO or Appetizer.  

 

You can purchase the roller for under $5.00 including shipping from China on eBay, or from your local Middle Eastern food store!

 

You will NOT use all of the grape leaves.... So adjust accordingly!
