Instant Pot Stuffed Grape Leaves

subheading: Instant Pot Stuffed Grape leaves:

1 small Cornish hen (optional) Cut in half at the breast.

1 Jar of grape leaves (I used grape leaves my mother in law hand-picked from her grape vine in Palestine last summer. Stored in an air tight jar.)

Bring a small pot of water to boil. Place half of the grape leaves in the water. Leave to boil for 7 to 10 minutes. Repeat with the other half. This will help tenderize the leaves better for cooking. -

note: Stuffing**

3 cups Basmati rice (rinsed)

½ onion ( chopped up into small cubes. About ¾ inch)

2 small tomatoes ( chopped up same size as onion)

2 tablespoons dried parsley

3 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and Pepper ( your own preference)

note: Broth**

3 tablespoons of tomato paste or 6oz can of tomato sauce.

5 to 6 cups of boiled water. Or enough just to cover the grape leaves in the pot.

- MIX water and paste/sauce--

note: *Directions**

So explaining how to stuff and roll grape leaves needs a demonstration. So Pinterest, YouTube, or Google might help.

After rolling up the grape leaves set aside and get the Cornish hen.

Place hen on bottom of the pot in the Instant Pot. Sprinkle some salt, pepper, and some citric acid over it.

note: Place stuffed grape leaves over the hen.. Try to place them evenly, forming a nice layer. If you like them with a lemon flavor, sprinkle about half a tablespoon of citric acid over the leaves Add broth until leaves are slightly covered with it. Cover Instant Pot and set on Manual for 20 to 25 minutes. Enjoy!
