Rinse grape leaves under water to remove saltiness and place in a large pot, covering with water.
Bring the pot to a boil and boil the grape leaves for 1 minute.
Rinse the rice for the filling and chop the parsley finely.
In a bowl, combine rinsed rice, chopped parsley, salt, lemon juice, chopped tomatoes, tomato paste, olive oil, pomegranate molasses, dried mint, and shata, mixing thoroughly.
Lay a grape leaf vein side up and cut off the stem.
Place about a teaspoon and a half of filling at the base of the leaf, forming a tight log about 1 cm thick.
Roll the leaf tightly, tucking the filling underneath, and fold in the sides as you roll to the tip.
Line the bottom of a pot with olive oil and thinly sliced potatoes or torn grape leaves to prevent sticking.
Pack the rolled grape leaves tightly in a circular pattern in the pot, topping with tomato and lemon slices.
Pour boiling water over the grape leaves, adding olive oil, pomegranate molasses, and the juice of half a lemon.
Cover the grape leaves with a plate to prevent floating, then cover the pot and bring to a boil, reducing heat to low and simmering for 60 to 90 minutes.
