This is very similiar to what I make. My grandmother is lebanese and I grew up learning how to make all sorts of wonderful middle eastern cuisine. The only thing I do differently is use white basmati rice - I get rave reviews from suspicious eaters when I use this rice. It is very important that you rinse the leaves individually or it will come out sour. Also you can subsitute the lamb for ground beef, don't try to make it "healthier" by using lean beef or ground turkey - it won't come out right. Serve with pita bread and hummus for the full effect. Other foods that go with it are falafels and tahini. I have some middle eastern recipes listed. See my reviews for more.

I liked this recipe. It is a bit of work but well worth it. I did use ground turkey instead and it altered the taste a bit but I liked it. Make sure to leave the rice in the water for At Least an hour or it will still be crunchy. I will be making this again!
