Stuffed Grape Leaves (Warak Enab or Yabrak)

This dish has been my favorite since I was a little girl. I loved it when my grandmother, may she rest in peace, made it. I always watched her prepare it. Now that I've grown up, I wanted to make it myself. This is my first time rolling grape leaves and cooking them, and they turned out very delicious, just like my grandmother used to make. I might have taken a while to cook them because I was always hesitant and afraid they wouldn't turn out well. Thankfully, with determination, I made them, and I was expecting the worst, but they turned out very successful.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Mix the short-grain rice, after washing it, with the ground lamb, salt, pepper, and oil.
- 2
Start rolling the grape leaves by opening a leaf, placing a small amount of filling, and rolling it up.
- 3
Once all the leaves are rolled, prepare them for cooking.
- 4
Place the lamb chops at the bottom of the pot and arrange the grape leaves on top. I personally roll small amounts at a time using thread, just like my grandmother did. Place the garlic heads between the layers.
- 5
After arranging the grape leaves in a pressure cooker or pot, prepare the broth by mixing water, salt, and lemon juice. The salt should be balanced, and the lemon should be noticeable. Pour the broth over the grape leaves until they are submerged. Close the pot and cook for an hour and fifteen minutes in the pressure cooker. Enjoy!

Stuffed Grape Leaves Stuffed Grape Leaves
These are not the typical Greek stuffed grape leaves , these are almost my Grandmother's grape leaves or " cigars" as she called them.They do remind you of a cigar, but she would get her grape leaves wild by the railroad tracks. As she got older and the grapevine disappeared she bought them at the store.She had a special pot she used to cook them in, it was the same pot that when we were little we used as a booster chair.I basically use my stuffed pepper filling and roll it in grape leaves. If you like real tomato saucy sauce use more spaghetti sauce and less chicken broth. We like a little tomato flavor in ours. So we use chicken broth mostly.I would try the original and then adjust to your families likes.When I was little I did not like these, I only ate the filling. Now every so often I get a craving for these.They do take a while to make but you get faster as you go and you learn timesaving tricks to share with others. These freeze well if you have leftovers. Enjoy!fjordsmom

Dolmadakia Stuffed Grape/Vine Leaves Dolmadakia Stuffed Grape/Vine Leaves
Hello, I hope all is well, and you all enjoyed your long weekend. Sunday, was the first day we BBQ for the year, it was great!!! The weather was nice, so we took out the bbq and starting our preparations. My hubby really does a great job grilling. 🙂 He has his own little secrets when it comes to basting the meat before placing on the grill, I don’t get involved when it comes to grilling, seeing that he truly enjoys doing it, and he does do a great job, and believe you me it tastes fantastic. Yummyyyyy.So, to accompany our Wine, and Ouzo I made some appetizers, Dolmadakia. It really does not get any more traditional than this, seriously….. I have never actually seen anyone not use their fingers to grab one of these delicious little green stuffed with rice leaves. This is why I like to call them Finger Food…..whenever a plate of these appetizers even comes close to landing on any table, you can see how everyone just tries desperately to grab one. It’s like once everyone sees them coming it’s race on!!!A truly loved appetizer dish, along with Tzatziki, Taramosalata, Tyrosalata, Fried Zucchini, Fried Eggplants, Calamaria and the list just goes on and on. I forgot to add French Fries an absolute must! 🙂 Foodzesty -
