Vine Leaves, 310g

Vine leaves are perfect for rolling the Middle Eastern stuffed vine leaf delicacy, dolmades. They’re popular in Greece, Egypt and Turkey. 

Dolmas, dolmades, or stuffed grape leaves are perhaps the most recognisable dish made with vine leaves. This classic dish of rice and meat - stuffed vine leaves is baked or until the rice is fully cooked and the flavours meld beautifully together.

Each Middle Eastern cuisine has its own variation. The Middle East offers a rich variety of dolma recipes. Iranians use minced lamb and dried fruit, while Egyptian dolmas are generally stuffed with a rice mixture, tomato sauce and aubergine. Greek dolmades are similar to the Egyptian ones, with rice, tomatoes and peppers. They often drizzle olive oil to enhance the flavour. In Turkey they call them sarma, and stuff them with ground lamb or beef, rice and lots of herbs.
