👳Beef-Rice Yebra (Stuffed Grape Leaves)👳
Ingredients:

👉1 1/2 cups cooked medium grain rice 

👉3/4lb lean ground beef

👉3 tablespoons tomato paste

👉1 teaspoon all spice

👉Salt + Pepper to taste

👉Grape Leaves, drained, rinsed and stems trimmed

👉1/2 cup pomegranate molasses

👉2 cups water

👉dash of sugar
👳Combine the first 5 ingredients, mix well (by hand is best)

👳Fill each grape leaf with about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll tightly, arrange the rolled leaves in a pot/pan of choice – you mat stack multiple layers

👳Add the remaining ingredients to create a broth and place an inverted plate over the grape leaves (this keeps the grape leaves from unrolling during the cooking process

👳Bring to a boil, then reduce to simmer (covered) about 1 1/2 hours – periodically press down on the inverted plate

   Yebra is ready when most of the broth has been absorbed and the leaves have expanded a bit
