Thank you :) if the recipe came from my yiayia I try to keep it the same. Although I did add the pine nuts but other than that it’s exactly how she did it :)

The pine nuts are a good idea. I love koupepia, my mum makes them all the time :)

I love them too. I always use pine nuts in the vegetarian ones, but I really love the taste of them in these ones :)

So you don't saute the onions and cook the meat? That's how my mum does it

No I don’t do that method. Many people do, but my yiayia never used to, so that’s how we have always done it.

@@RealOrbit-Australia my family does it my way :) I guess like all Greek and Cypriot dishes there are regional ways of making things. There are other recipes on here that do it my way. However there is one thing I will argue with, my mums are the best ;) but then I guess we will all say that :)

When you stir fry the onions it causes indigestion. Love it raw.

Your klimatifilla are out of a jar. Definitely not traditionally Cypriot. We have vines in our garden and cut the leaves regularly to make koubebia whenever we want. They freeze well too! Jarred leaves don't taste as nice and you're supposed to cook the meat first before you roll them and cook them.

Who defines what tradition is? My yiayia never cooked the filling. So for me this is traditional, and you will find many Cypriot who don’t cook the filling. As for the leaves, I live in London without a garden so as is traditionally Cypriot, you make the best of what you have 😊. These vine leaves are the softest you will get, I get them from a Greek shop at Borough market. So they aren’t from my garden sadly, but I can’t do anything about that 😊

Dangerous recipe, rather sauté opinion and properly cook ground meat FIRST, THEN throw in long grain washed rice etc etc
@chrispcooks2909

That is some people’s preference, but I have always cooked them this way as that is how my yiayia did them. It has never been dangerous. I cook them for at least an hour and then let them sit in steam. They will definitely be cooked through if that was your concern.
