YALANCHI STUFFED TOMATOES

Yalanchi Stuffed Tomatoes image

This recipe is from Bon Appetit's outdoor entertaining magazine with a few adjustments by me. "Yalanchi" refers to a typical Middle Eastern filling of rice, pine nuts, currants and flavored with cinnamon etc. Excellant flavor. Serve with your next BBQ. You can do it ahead of time and refrigerate then bring to room temperature before serving.

Heat the olive and canola oil in a large saucepan, and cook the onions over medium heat until transparent, about 10 minutes. Stir in the rice and one-half cup water and continue to cook for 2 minutes. Stir in the tomato sauce, parsley, allspice, cinnamon, cayenne, dill and pine nuts.
Continue cooking until the rice is somewhat soft but not fully cooked (it will look al dente -- tender on the outside with a white core in the center), about 20 minutes, stirring frequently. The water may be absorbed completely before the rice is par-cooked; add additional water, a little at a time, until the rice is somewhat softened. Add the juice of 2 lemons. Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside to cool.

In a large pot, saute onions and rice in oil over medium heat until very clear. This will take at least one-half hour. Stir occasionally so it won’t stick. If you see mixture sticks or seems like it’s burning, lower heat.
When onions are limp, add rest of the ingredients – except the grape leaves, of course! Remove from stove and stir until all ingredients are well blended. Cool in pot for about 20 minutes. Tip pot so oil drains from mixture. Set aside for later use.
Fill grape leaves with mixture – about 2 Tbsp., depending on size of leaf. Roll leaves. (See how to prepare fresh grape leaves in Note below.)
