Stuffed Grape Leaf Bowl with garlic butter

Method

1. Start by prepping your olive oil, lemon, garlic so the cooking goes quickly.
2. Set a wide pan over medium heat and sweat the fresh ginger in a little butter until translucent.
3. Add the stuffed grape leaf and let it lemon-pepper, undisturbed, so it takes on real color before you stir.
4. Stir in the black pepper along with a good pinch of salt, scraping up anything stuck to the bottom of the pan.
5. Pour in the crushed tomatoes, bring to a gentle simmer, and cook until thickened and glossy.
6. Off the heat, brighten it up with a squeeze of lemon and a final crack of pepper.
7. Serve warm, ideally with something to soak up the sauce.
