Everyone stuffs grape leaves somewhat differently depending on whether they intend the dish to be a side or a main dish. As a side dish, I have seen plain or lightly flavored rice  and rice with raisins and pine nuts. However, it needs to be a bit more robust to make it as a main dish and this calls for meat.

If you like lamb, you realize that you have to tenderize it a bit by grinding it and mixing it with some softer meats. In my case, I use pork. Seasonings are up to you, but I like a blend of peppers and salts and my own curry with just the right amount of Fenugreek ( spice of the Greeks). Topped with a dolup of Greek Yorgurt and a few Kalamata Olives and you have a nice lunch!

So, it should be ready when Laura comes home from her first day back.
