IMG_6137.jpeg

I did not grow up with eating grape leaves. Grape leaves are very typical to the Arabic, Middle Eastern cuisines but are absent from the Moroccan one. Once I discovered them, I enjoy experimenting with them in the kitchen, just like in this dish

  • 2 red bell peppers

  • 1 big onion

  • 10 grape leaves, washed and drained

  • 3 tbsp. olive oil

  • ½ cup rice

  • 1 tbsp. Baharat

  • 1 tbsp. cumin

  • ¼ cup chicken stalk

  • 1 flat tbsp. salt

  • 1 tsp. black pepper

  1. Cut the vegetables into strips.

  2. Cook the rice in boiling water, separately,  for 5 minutes. Drain.

  3. In a wide skillet, heat the oil and add the peppers. Saute for 5 minutes.

  4. Add the onion and saute for 3 more minutes.

  5. Add the garlic,spices, chicken stalk, rice and grape leaves.

  6. Cover and cook for 10 minutes.
