Preparation

Mix the raw rice, ground beef, chopped tomato, parsley, mint, cinnamon and cumin.
Stuff the hollowed vegetables (courgettes, peppers, tomatoes) and the vine leaves with this mixture, without packing too tight to leave the rice room to swell.
Pack the vegetables and vine rolls tightly in a large pot, starting with the most fragile ones at the bottom.
Cover with broth mixed with tomato paste and a drizzle of oil, place a plate on top to hold everything in place.
Simmer covered on low heat for 1 hour, until the rice and vegetables are very tender.
