Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups whole grain quick-cooking bulgur (such as Bob's Red Mill)
  • 2 1/4 cups chopped green onions (about 14 onions)
  • 2 cups chopped plum tomatoes (about 14 ounces)
  • 3/4 cup chopped fresh dill
  • 3/4 cup chopped fresh mint
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon plus 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 55 (or more) brined grape leaves from two 7-to 8-ounce jars, drained, stems cut off if needed
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • Fresh dill sprigs (for garnish)
  • Fresh mint sprigs (for garnish)
  • Ingredient info: Bulgur is available at some supermarkets and at natural foods stores. Brined grape leaves are sold at some supermarkets, and at specialty foods stores and Greek markets.
  • Test-kitchen tip: Weighing the grape leaves down prevents them from opening up while they simmer.
