       1 bn Fresh mint; chopped
       1 c  Pine nuts

   In a large bowl place the lamb, onions, parsley, mint, pine nuts,
   lemon juice, olive oil, oregano, salt, and pepper.  Mix the
   ingredients together with your hands so that they are well combined.
   
   Lay a grape leaf out flat.  Place approximately 3 ounces of the lamb
   mixture in the center of the grape leaf.  Fold over the stem end.
   Fold over the two sides.  Roll up the grape leaf so that the mixture
   is completely encased.  Repeat this process until all of the meat
   mixture is used.
   
   Preheat the oven to 350 F.  Line the bottom of a large baking dish
   with approximately 10 grape leaves.  Place the stuffed grape leaves
   in the dish so that they are tightly packed.  Cover the stuffed
   graped leaves with water and bake them for 1 hour.
