Preheat oven to 350℉ (180℃).

Line a 3-quart baking dish with a few grape leaves to keep stuffed leaves from sticking and burning.

Fold in sides, then roll leaf from stem to tip.

Place in casserole.

Repeat procedure with remaining grape leaves until rice mixture is used up.

Pour water in bottom of dish (to prevent sticking and drying out).
