Many people have requested this traditional Mediterranean recipe to see how they can have the healthiest version ❤️
Steps:

- pan fry 1kg minced chicken in 1 Tbs of olive oil and add salt , pepper and dried mint to taste
- add 1/2cup uncooked washed rice to chicken
- roll the mixture in presoaked grape leaves (fresh or frozen) and add them in a pot in an orderly fashion in layers)
- add some water, lemon(A LOT), salt and pepper, and a Tsp of olive oil
- place an inverted plate on top of the rolls (acts as weight and prevents rolls from unfolding)
