I like the idea of ​​lettuce. Even these days, and I will do them.

Initially, my idea was to ward liver grilled and make fresh salad. But the salad was beginning to fade and came to me this idea. Likewise can be made COLD leaves. Will be glad if you like.

Sounds and looks appetizing, today will do. Then we'll score.

I made them with dock are super.

And can you make with vine leaves?

You and vine leaves, why not, and summer and beet leaves. I'm sure it will be delicious. As Ina gave rice-water ratio - 1: 3, I would cook them steam for about 1 hour or 1 1/2 hours. It will retain the well shape, and taste is delicate, my other concern is that the salad leaves are very soft. Summer sarmi do them exclusively with beet leaves thus with different fillings, but not liver I think. Ina, Thanks for the idea !. Before serving inundate each serving with a spoonful of hot oil well. The sauce can be yogurt with garlic and mint, or only yogurt as proposed Ina.

and were about 50-55 pieces.

I am glad that you like. Of course you can use other leaves - dock, salt bush, grape, lime, beet / as suggested buci. In the winter you can enjoy preserved leaves.
