Lebanese Stuffed Grape Leaves are my all-time favorite dish that I grew up eating and actually grew up helping my mom make! 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 leaves multiple times with fresh water to get rid of any preservatives.

- Take one vine leaf and spread it on a flat surface. Place 1 teaspoon of the stuffing in the middle forming a straight line. Fold the sides inwards first and roll to wrap. Make sure the stuffing is completely covered and the vine leaf is tightly wrapped. Repeat same procedure with the other vine leaves.
- In a cooking pot, pour 1 tablespoon of olive oil and place the potato slices next to each other at the bottom of the pot. Arrange the vine leaves on top next to each other in layers.
