   1      ts            Margarine -- melted
   2      tb            Onion -- diced fine
     1/2  c             Cooked rice
   1      ts            Olive oil
     1/8  ts            Salt
   1      pn            Ground pepper
   1      ts            Parsley flakes
   2      ts            Lemon juice
     1/3  c             Tomato juice

Sautee onion in margarine until golden. Add rice, salt, pepper, and
parsley.

Lay leaves, shiny side down, on a flat surface. Place 1 ts rice
mixture on each leaf.

Fold sides of each leaf over filling, then roll up, starting from the
narrow end. Place stuffed leaves, seam side down, close together, in
the bottom of a skillet.

Pour lemon and tomato juices over them. Set a heavy plate or pie
plate on top to keep them from floating to the top during cooking.
Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer, covered, for 20 minutes.

Remove from heat. Cool to room temperature. Refrigerate until ready
to serve.

To Serve:

Lift out of liquid with a slotted utensil and drain completely.
