Morris and Christie's Stuffed Grape Leaves

Ingredients:

• one 15 oz jar of grape leaves
• 1 lb ground beef
• 4 T butter, melted
• 4 medium onions, finely chopped
• 1 c canned whole tomatoes, chopped
  
• 1 c hot water
• 1/2 c uncooked rice
• 2 T mint crushed
• 1 t salt
• pepper to taste
• Sauce
• 2 large eggs, whites and yellows seperate
• 3 oz lemon juice
• broth from grape leaves jar.

Directions:
To prepare the stuffed grape leaves, mix all the filling ingredients together. Mix all ingredients but grape leaves and sauce together. Put a heaping teaspoon of the filling in each leaf, and fold like an envelope or egg roll. Arrange in compact layers in a large saucepan (or wok). Put a dish on top of grape leaves to keep them in place and whole. Add water until the stuffed grape leaves are just covered. Bring to a boil on stove, then reduce heat to medium and simmer 25 minutes.
For sauce, begin by beating the egg whites until they are stiff but not dry. Add the yolks and beat well. Add lemon juice while beating slowly. Finally add broth slowly.
Pour sauce over grape leaves and let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
