the afternoon before you wish to serve place the lamb chunks in a big pot and add water enough to cover. allow to boil. pour the water out and wash the chunks with clean water. reason you do this is to wash the fat out of the meat. place back into the pot so that it covers the bottom of the potm sprinkle the meat with a decent amount of salt and pepper.

place the frozen stuffed vine leaves ontop of the meat.
- 10
pour in all the lemon juice. add water to cover the rest of the vine leaves. The water level should be up to the second layer from the top

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! 🙂
