Recipe for vegetarian dolmades:

2 cups Pearl or Arborio rice
3 lg Onions
1 1/2 cups Olive Oil
Juice of 2 lemons
3 cups chicken broth
1 tbsp. each of Dill, Mint, and Parsley
50 Grape leaves (can be purchased in a jar or use fresh tender leaves)
1 tsp. Salt
1/4 - 1/2 tsp. Pepper (to your taste)

Rinse and drain rice.
In a large bowl add rice, onion, oil, lemon juice, mint, parsley, dill, salt and pepper.
Fresh grape leaves should be dipped in hot water for about 5 minutes to make them more flexible.
Jar or canned grape leaves should be rinsed thoroughly in cold water first, then hot.
Place a few of the more coarse leaves open on the bottom of the pan as a base and then arrange dolmades side by side and then create another layer on top until all of them are used. If you have extra leaves or torn leaves, place them on top as a final layer.
Add chicken broth.
Cover with a heavy plate to keep them from floating up while cooking.
Bake at 425 degrees for 45 minutes. Shut off oven and let them sit in the oven until the broth absorbs.
Squeeze lemon on them and enjoy the yumminess!!
