#Dolmeh or Stuffed vine Leaves rolls are one of the most popular dishes in Iran, Turkey, Greece, and many Central Asian countries. You can find Dolmeh in different types: sometimes Dolmeh includes wrapping leaves of grape leaves , or cabbage leaves around filling and sometimes stuffed eggplant, bell pepper or tomato are called dolmeh as well.All types are really tasty and just yummy. My mother used to cook Sweet dolmeh ( with grape leaves, sugar, vinegar, raisin, minced beef, yellow split peas and rice) and also sour dolmeh. Today I am going to present sour one from my mother land Ardebil. This type of dolmeh has rich ingredients. You need good time for stuffing and rolling 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! 🙂

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.

These can be made with or without meat. I have been practicing so that one day they will be perfect, like how my grandmother made them! This summer I'm looking forward to using fresh grape leaves too

Lack of ingredients to make this taste like pork shanghai but despite the ingredients I mixed the chicken shanghai still taste superb 💕

Here is a famous winter dish. "!Lahana Dolmasi "Again, it takes time to prepare, are you willing to start? ( do not use inner leaves for stuffing which are very hard and veiny , you won't be able to roll)

this recipe is so simple. a little time consuming, but worth it. they are delicious!

I do not want to say all of us but let say most of us know traditional roll stuffed cabbage leaves and in different countries there is a variety of stuffed cabbage leaves recipes. In Iran we make stuffed sweet-sour cabbage leaves – plus savoury version of the dish.But today I am going to introduce stuffed WHOLE CABBAGE . It was so excited to prepare this dish. It looks like a meat layered cake and actually some of my own friends thought it is a kinda cake but they found out no it is an entire whole stuffed cabbage :)For preparing this dish, you may use minced beef, lamb, turkey or pork . Or you may skip the the meat and go on with vegetables such as mushroom, carrot, bell pepper, aromatic fresh herbs, tomato.You also would need to have cheese cloth to hold whole cabbage head together.#dolma#cabbage#stuffed_cabbage

This is a family favorite in my house. It takes a long time but is soooo worth it.
