1 can of preserved (pickled) grape leaves
A handful of parsley
1 tsp of allspice

Directions:
Boil grape leaves for 8 minutes. Drain and let cool down. Chop onion very fine. Chop parsley very fine. Mix chopped onion, chopped parsley, ground beef, rice, allspice, lemon pepper salt, and garlic powder together into a paste. Stuff grape leaves. Tightly pack stuffed grape leaves into a medium-large saucepan in layers. Make sure each layer is completely filled in. Cover to top layer with a plate to weight the stuffed grape leaves down.
