Vine leaves risotto


Cooking Time

30 minutes

Yields

4

Ingredients

  • 1 large onion;
  • 200-300 g of vine leaves (or 2-3 bunches);
  • 1-2 bunches of dill;
  • 250 g of rice;
  • 4-5 tbsp. olive oil;
  • half a head of dry garlic;
  • salt and pepper to taste.

Directions

  1. Finely chop the onion and stew it with some water and olive oil;
  2. Wash and cut the leaves into strips;
  3. Add them to the onion and continue to simmer. The more they soften, the better;
  4. Add 1 liter of water and bring to a boil;
  5. Add the rice and salt and bring to a boil;
  6. Reduce to moderate and leave until rice is ready;
  7. Finely chop the garlic and dill;
  8. Add the spices just before removing from the heat;
  9. Serve with yogurt hot or cold.

Notes

If you like experimenting, I suggest you try adding:

  • Medium peeled tomato, grated or even blended, added 5-7 minutes before removing the rice from heat;
  • A handful of golden raisins for a more funny taste, added along with the rice;
  • Crushed walnuts on serving.
