In Arabic, we call it "warak enab" which means leaves of grapes, and traditionally it's stuffed with rice and meat or rice and veggies. While this is the rice and beef version, I also have the vegetarian stuffed grape leaves recipe if you prefer. Rinse well in cold water to wash away any brine. Use imperfect leaves for layering evenly in the bottom of the skillet. Lay leaves, shiny side down, on flat surface.
