Early June in NJ brings the bloom of so many beautiful flowers, as well as soft, new leaves on grapevines. My daughter and I harvested these leaves at a nearby stream for this recipe! This version of stuffed grape leaves combines lamb with tart lemon, soft rice, and bold flavors like allspice and garlic. The dish is completed with a side of dairy free yogurt sauce and hummus.
