Step 1
Drain grape leaves gently and rinse under cool water to remove excess brine. Pat dry with paper towels.
Step 2
Mix cooked rice, lentils, dill, mint, and lemon zest in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Lay a grape leaf flat, vein-side up. Spoon 2 tbsp rice mixture in center, fold sides inward, then roll tightly from bottom to top.
Step 4
Repeat with remaining leaves and filling until all rice mixture is used. Seam-side down on a serving platter.
Step 5
Whisk lemon juice, minced garlic, and olive oil together. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 6
Drizzle lemon-garlic oil over rolls. Serve at room temperature with fresh lemon slices.
