We like to make medium to small rolls, about ½ inch thick and 3 inches long. Once rolled, stack the grape leave rolls tightly in a pot with its bottom covered with a layer of sliced onions and a layer of sliced tomatoes.

Once you've finished adding the rolls, sprinkle 1 teaspoon of salt on top, add ¾th cup of lemon juice, ½ cup of olive oil, 2 cups of water.

Add a small (microwave- safe) plate on top and press it downwards and leave in pot while cooking. The plate creates a downward pressure on the grape leave rolls to keep them tightly held together.

Every 1. 0 mins or so, shake and swing the pot slowly to ensure that the sauce is equally dispersed and isn't stuck on one side. Once cooked uncover pot and let rest for about 1 hour to cool down.

Lay serving plate on the kitchen counter and slowly lift up and remove the pot from the plate. You should now have a nice looking pile of neatly stacked grape leave rolls with the tomatoes and onions on top. You can then add a bit of its sauce on it to taste.
