Ingredients
- 30 fresh or tinned vine leaves
- 1/4 kilo of minced pork
- 1/4 kilo of minced beef
- 2 tblsp of finely cut parsley
- 2 tblsp finely cut onion
- 1 tsp dry mint

- 2 cups of ripe, peeled tomatoes, finely cut
- Salt and Pepper
- 3 tblsp of lemon juice
- 2 tblsp of olive oil
- 2 cups of hot meat broth or water

Directions
Wash the vine leaves, boil in salted boiling water for 5 minutes and drain. In a saucepan heat the corn oil, fried the half of the tomatoes until soft and remove saucepan from heat.
Mix the rest of tomatoes with the stuffing ingredients, knead well and leave for 15 minutes, to rest.
Place a vine leaf on a surface. Take a teaspoon of stuffing, place it on leave near the steam, fold the two edges and roll it firmly, into a tubular shape.
Arrange rolls or “koupepia” in rows in the saucepan on the fried tomatoes and on top place a heavy soup plate.
Pour enough hot water or broth to cover the plate and simmer “koupepia” for one hour until juice is absorbed.
Serve “koupepia” hot or cold with fresh vegetables.
