My dear sister who is married to a Jordanian, always make this dish so I decide to give it a try. It is quite different than ours "iraqi Dolma" but It is very delicious. In this recipe, they don't use tomato in any kind of form and also don't use any onion neither parsley. To be honest it is quit easier than ours where we use alot of ingredients and variety of vegetables. I think all kinds of different stuffed vegetables Mahashi have its unique flavor and they are all delicious to me.

The Ingredients for the filling:

2 cup rice washed three times and drained
1-2 lb ground beef or lamb
1-2 Tbsp chopped garlic
1 Tbsp salt or to taste
1 tsp black pepper
1-2 Tbsp allspice
1/4 cup olive oil

To be adding on top:
Water, enough to cover about 5-6 cups hot water
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/2 tsp citric acid
You can use either lemon or citric acid.

Vegetables to be stuffed :
5-8 zucchini washed, cut both ends and cut in half or leave whole. Cored and keep the flesh aside
2-3 rolls grape leaves from a grape leaves jar. Iprefer Alfa brand.

Steps:

1-Before you make your grape leaves, make sure that your leaves are washed, and the stems are removed and squeezed from the water.
2- Mix together stuffing ingredients. Line the bottom of your pot with zucchini flesh or grape leaves to prevent sticking then add meat steak preferably with bone (optional). Sprink with dash of 7 spices, black pepper and salt.
3- Stuff zucchinis as the first layer.
4- Roll your grape leaves as second layer as shown in video.
5- Pack your grape leave seam side down then top them with lemon juice or citric acid.
6- Pour in enough water to reach the top of the grape leaves.
7- place an plate on top, and weigh it down to prevent the grape leaves from opening.
8- Bring to a boil on high temp and cook for 20-30 minutes then remove the plate.
9- When liquid reduce, lower the temperature to low-medium and cook for 30 to 40 more minutes or until the grape leaves are very tender and rice is cooked.
