I grew up with Laura, I was a freshman in highschool when I first looked up how to make a bruschetta on KZbin and found her recipe. That was like 10-11 years ago and here I am working as a nurse and I still make her recipes often. Thank you Laura for the effort and time you put into your recipes

[@suzie.T.K]

hello Laura, i am a french who lived in Syria for many years, there are 2 ways for making grape leaves : vegetarian or with meat. they put in minced meat with rice ( not cooked just rinced) with tomato paste ,chilli paste, onion (again not cooked) one fresh tomato without the skin, salt pepper cinnamon powder, nutmeg and chilli powder . combine all together and cook them with lamb chop or chicken thighs or potatoes in the bottom on the pan or the slow cooker or the pressure cooker and for the broth it can be bone broth or chiken with good amount of lemon juice . they do it with rice but some of them do it also with bulgur. both are fantastic!!!!! i am passionate for food like you and i am sure you will love it!! good luck.

[@kikikipourou4063]

Love from Greece! Perfect recipe!

[@sophiecrete]

In genuine Greek stuffed grape leaves you also need a bunch of fresh mint, lots of lemon and olive oil. Also, when you use grape leaves in a jar you need to simmer them for at least 5 min first because they are much tougher than the fresh ones. An optional but delicious addition is a handful of crumbled feta cheese in the stuffing.

The first thing my mom taught me to make are stuffed grape leaves. She just passed and every single time I see grape leaves, I always think of her! My moms side is Turkish and we stuff with rice and meat and eat them warm. I also love all the different variations from different cultures and parts of the world.

[@alooshhh587]

Lauraaa I love grape leaves. We call it dolma in Turkey and Dawali in Palestine 😘

[@sumeyye1903_]

It’s actually more appropriate to call it Sarma in Turkish because sarma means to wrap, and that’s what you are essentially doing. Dolma is used for when you stuff vegetables such as squash and dried peppers

Lovely presentation Laura! I've done most of your recipes and loved them!! The older women in my family, placed the dolmades vertically and crammed the pot with them. Of course, they placed a plate on top to stop having the rice all over the place. You can also put a batch in the freezer provided that the rice is parboiled. Good luck with your new steps!

We Greeks also love them with avgolemono (egg and lemon) sauce.

[@pxpq]

Because they've been exposed to Ottoman Turkish cuisine for a long time. For example word "dolma" just means to fill in Turkish, when Greeks took the food they added the "-ades" part to make it plural.

[@juliazedd]

So nice to see the different versions of this delicious food😍😍 we make it in Palestine too but it's a whole meal not just an appetizer! We make it with chicken cutlets, stuffed zucchini and it's a very holy meal for arabs it's a favorite for most of us lol😂😍😍❤️ I'm making it with my mom tomorrow🤩🤩 No dill tho❌ just a whole lot of of parsley 🤤

I love these! Our neighbors have a grape vine that grows over the fence and normally i just cut off the branches and compost them. Next year I might just try this with them.

[@clydekawanishi7998]

If you use fresh leaves blanch them in boiling water to soften. Try to use young leaves vs older ones. Both will work but young ones are more tender. Increase your salt if using fresh. The picked grape leaves are really salty. I use chicken broth for my liquid in stead of just water. More flavor. PS you can freeze the leave post blanching.
