Quicker Baked Potato

Try this method for speeding up the potato baking process (for a better texture than those that you microwave). Pre-heat the oven to 400. Place the potato in boiling water for 10 minutes. Bake for 30 minutes. This will cut the cooking time in half.

 

Greek Dolmades


appetizers, vegetables, greek, rice

16 oz brine-packed grape leaves
1 1/4 cup white rice, shortgrain
3 1/2 cup vegetable broth
1 each onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup olive oil
1 each garlic clove, minced
2 tablespoon dill, minced
1/2 cup parsley, minced
1/2 cup lemon juice
1 salt & pepper

Unfold grape leaves & rinse with cold water. Remove & discard small stem from each leaf. Pat dry & set aside. Bring rice & broth to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover & simmer until the rice is tender, about 25 minutes. Let cool to room temperature. Saute onions in 3 tb olive oil until translucent, about 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in garlic, dill, parsley & half the lemon juice, remove from heat. Add onion mixture to rice. Season & mix well. Preheat oven to 350F. On a flat surface, place one leaf smooth side down with stem towards you. With wet hands, roll one ts rice mixture in the palm of your hand into a cylinder shape. Place filling at stem end of the leaf & begin rolling the leaf, folding both sides. Continue rolling to enclose the filling & make a tight bundle. Place filled leaf in a 9" X 13" baking dish. Repeat with remaining grape leaves & rice mixture. Drizzle with remaining oil & juice. Cover with foil & bake until tender, about 30 minutes. Remove from oven, allow to cool for 10 minutes & refrigerate. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
