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!

Home alone.You can add lambchop between the stuffed grape leaves on the top insted of maggi.Lemon juice insted of pomegranate molasses if don't find it .

We call this dish dolma its one of my favorite dishes...full of flavors enjoy

This is not a "complete arabic recipe", this is for non arab i think 😊😊. For those who don't want the smell of some spices.

Vine leaves that are stuffed with a mixture of rice and diced vegetables with olive oil are rolled in fingers and cooked.

Here’s a recipe for Stuffed Grape Leaves (Dolma) in English, similar to the Persian-style Dolmeh Barg-e Mo.
