Step 1
Drain grape leaves and pat dry. Mix cooked rice, parsley, mint, diced tomatoes, salt, pepper, and 1 tbsp olive oil in a bowl.
Step 2
Lay a grape leaf flat, vein side up. Spoon 2 tbsp filling near the stem end, fold sides in, then roll tightly away from you.
Step 3
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium. Working in batches, sear rolls seam-side down until golden, about 2 minutes per side.
Step 4
Transfer cooked rolls to a plate. Serve warm alongside fresh lettuce and sliced tomatoes.
