Lebanese stuffed grape leaves plus other stuff to stuff in leaves.

My family isn’t into dolmas, so I make them just for me in the instant pot.  You can use any filling you like and they’re really quick. Mine are always lemony because I’m sad when I bite into a stuffed grape leaf and it’s not lemony.  I cook bulgur- or freek-filled dolmas in 1/3 cup lemon juice and 1/3 water for 10 minutes.

For those who are unaware, Freekeh (transliterated variously) is wheat that is picked when it is still "green" (immature) and then dried and then "smoked" by placing the dried green wheat berries on top of gently burning wheat stalks.

It sounds a little odd, but very tasty.

10 minutes on high? I have Freekeh in my pantry so would just need to get some grape leaves and a couple of other things but these sound lovely. I like tasting lemon as well.

Yes, 10 minutes on high pressure and then a quick release.

That's way more lemon juice than my dolmades recipe uses.  That might be a big part of the difference.
