Warak enab, also known as stuffed grape leaves, is a beloved dish in Palestinian cuisine. This dish is a delightful combination of grape leaves filled with a mixture of rice, herbs, and often ground beef.
“ What I love about this recipe is its versatility. You can make it vegan-friendly by omitting the meat or add ground beef for a heartier version. The tangy grape leaves paired with the savory filling create a balance of flavors that’s truly irresistible! ”

Directions |
| ⭕️ 1 jar of Grape Leaves (or fresh grape leaves if available) ⭕️ 1 ½ cups of uncooked White Rice ⭕️ 2 Tomatoes (chopped) ⭕️ 5 Green Onions (chopped) ⭕️ ½ cup of chopped Parsley ⭕️ 2 tablespoons of chopped Mint ⭕️ ½ cup of Olive Oil ⭕️ Salt and Pepper to taste ⭕️ 2 Potatoes (sliced) ⭕️ 2-3 large Tomatoes (chopped for cooking) ⭕️ ¾ cup of Olive Oil (for cooking)) ⭕️ ¾ cup of Lemon Juice (for cooking) |
1 Start by preparing your grape leaves. If you’re using grape leaves from a jar, rinse them in cold water and drain. 2 In a deep bowl, mix together the uncooked white rice, chopped tomatoes, green onions, parsley, mint, olive oil, salt, and pepper. This will be your stuffing. 3 Take one grape leaf at a time and add a spoonful of the rice mixture into it. Roll the leaf carefully to ensure the filling stays inside. 4 Once all your grape leaves are stuffed, arrange them in a large pot. 5 Layer the pot with olive oil, sliced potatoes, and/or tomatoes. 6 Pour the olive oil and lemon juice over the stuffed grape leaves until they are just covered. 7 Cover the pot and let it simmer on low heat for about 1.5 hours or until the rice is fully cooked and the flavors have melded together. |
