- The Turkish name for these tasty bitesize parcels means "false" because they are not served warm and don't contain meat like the traditional stuffed grape leaves. Grape leaves are available packed in jars and require soaking to remove the excess brine which preserves them.

- Reduce heat, cover and simmer 15 min. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Meanwhile, in small saucepan, combine lentils with sufficient water to cover by 1 inch. Gently boil, uncovered, till lentils are tender but still hold their shape, about 15 min. Drain well and set aside. In large skillet, heat 1 Tbsp. oil over medium heat. Add in onion and cook, stirring often, till soft, about 5 min. Remove from heat and add in raisins, apricots, mint, cinnamon and allspice. Stir in bulgur and lentils and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Place 2 tsp. filling in middle of leaf close to stalk end, Fold bottom of leaf over and each side in to enclose filling. Roll up firmly toward point.
