Preparation
In a bowl, combine the rice with the onion, tomato and parsley. Pour in half of the olive oil then season with salt and black pepper.
Place American Garden grape leaves on a solid surface then add about 1 tablespoon of the filling in the center just above the stem end. Tuck in the sides over the filling then roll tightly into a cigar shape. Repeat with the rest of the ingredients.
Layer the grape leaves in an oven dish. Drizzle the rest of the oil, American Garden lemon juice and the water on top.
Cover with foil paper and cook in the oven at 180˚C for 40-50 minutes.
Serve with American Garden ranch sauce.
