Add three cups of water, the remaining herbs, and season with salt and pepper. Simmer until the water is absorbed, then turn off the heat.

For the grape leaves: After washing them well, separate them into groups of ten with the stems and blanch them briefly. Once they change color, remove and dry them. Place them on a plate in a way that allows easy separation. Cut off the stems.

Place them in a circular pattern in the pot. Pour the remaining oil over them and cover with lukewarm water. Place a plate on top of the stuffed leaves and cook for about 40 minutes on low heat.

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 -

Another recipe for stuffed grape leaves, which guarantees success with well-cooked rice and amazing flavor.A few more secretsThey pair wonderfully with yogurt, galotyri, xygalo, and other similar yogurt-based dips. They are delicious both cold as an appetizer and as a main dish.
