Dolma

Vegetarian Dolma Recipe

Adapted from: Dedemed’s Cooking
Yields: 16 dolmas
Ingredients

• 16-20 grape leaves (we used the ones from pickled jar) [We got our grape leaves from Whole Foods.
• 1/2 cup long grain uncooked rice (soaked in water for 1 hour)
• 3-4 leaves fresh mint
• 1/4 cup chopped onion
• 1/2 cup chopped parsley (packed)
• 1/2 tsp red chilli powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup lemon juice
• 1/4 cup olive oil

Method:

• Drain the water completely from the soaked rice.
• Now to this rice add chopped parsley, salt, onion, chopped mint, chilli powder, ¼ cup lemon juice and mix well.
• Separate the grape leaves individually from the jar. This part took the longest time as we had to separate the leaves, making sure not to break them.
