Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C.

Combine the rice, lamb, onion, herbs, celery, salt, pepper, and tomato purée in a bowl.

Place a teaspoon of filling on the vein side of a vine leaf and roll it up like a small cigar.

Line an ovenproof dish with tomato slices or extra vine leaves to prevent sticking.

Layer the stuffed leaves in the dish with garlic slices, lemon juice, and 150ml of water.

Cover with oiled foil and bake for 45 minutes, adding more water if needed.
