Categories     Appetizer

Time 1h20m

Yield 60

Number Of Ingredients 9

60 vine leaves, drained and rinsed
250g rice (1 cup)
1 cup olive oil
2 onions, finely chopped
2 cups warm water
juice of 2 lemons
2 tbsps dill, chopped
1/2 a cup parsley, chopped
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • To make this traditional Greek dolmades recipe (stuffed vine/ grape leaves), start by preparing the vine leaves. For this dolmades recipe, you can either use vine leaves sold in jars or fresh (if you are lucky enough to find them). If you use the ones in jar, rinse the vine leaves, remove the stems and leave them in a colander to drain. If using fresh vine leaves, wash them thoroughly, remove the stems and blanch them in boiling hot water. Remove the leaves with a slotted spoon and place them in a colander to cool down completely.
  • Prepare the filling for the stuffed vine/ grape leaves (dolmades). Place the rice in a colander and rinse with running water. Heat a large saucepan over medium heat, add 1/3 of the olive oil and the chopped onions. Sauté the onions, until translucent (but not coloured). Add the rice and sauté for 1 more minute. Pour in 2 cups of warm water and half lemon juice and simmer for about 7 minutes, until the rice absorbs all the water and is parboiled. Season with salt and pepper, stir in the herbs, remove from the stove and set aside to cool down for a while. This will be the filling for the dolmades.
  • Layer the bottom of a large pot with some vine leaves (use the ones that are little bit torn) and start rolling the dolmadakia. (This is probably the most difficult part of the traditional dolmades recipe). Place one vine leaf (shiny side down) on a flat surface and add 1 tsp of the filling at the bottom end (stem). Be careful not to overfill the dolmades, as the rice will expand during cooking. Fold the lower section of the leaf over the filling towards the center; bring the two sides in towards the center and roll them up tightly. Place the stuffed vine leaves (fold side down) on the bottom of the pot and top in snugly layers. Be careful not to leave any gaps between the dolmades to prevent them from cracking open when cooking.
  • Drizzle the stuffed vine leaves (dolmathes) with the rest of the olive oil and lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Place an inverted plate on top to hold them down when cooking and pour in enough water just to cover them. Place the lid on and simmer the dolmades for about 30-40 minutes, until the water has been absorbed and the dolmades remain only with the oil.
  • Remove the pot from the heat, remove the lid and plate and let the dolmades cool for at least 30 minutes.
  • Serve this delicious Greek appetizer cold or at room temperature with a squeeze of a lemon. Give this traditional dolmades recipe a try and enjoy your own fresh homemade stuffed grape leaves (dolmades)!

DOLMADES: STUFFED GRAPE LEAVES

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h

Yield 36 dolmades; 6 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 27

1/4 cup plus 1 cup olive oil
2 medium yellow onions, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup pine nuts
1 cup long-grain rice
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup golden raisins
1 tablespoon minced mint
2 lemons, juiced
1 (8-ounce) jar grape leaves, or 36 medium-sized fresh leaves
Kicked Up Tzatziki, recipe follows
1 medium cucumber, peeled, sliced in half, seeded and finely chopped
1 cup plain yogurt
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon lemon juice or white wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dill or oregano
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon Essence, recipe follows
2 1/2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon dried leaf oregano
1 tablespoon dried thyme

Steps:

  • In a large saute pan over medium high heat, heat 1/4-cup olive oil. Add the onions and saute until translucent, about 6 minutes. Add the garlic and pine nuts and saute for 2 minutes. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and allow to cool slightly. Add the rice, salt, raisins, mint and juice of 1 lemon to the bowl with the onion mixture and mix well. Set aside.
  • Bring a medium pot of water to a simmer. Remove the grape leaves from the jar and drop them in batches of 4 or 5 into the hot water. Quickly remove them from the water and spread flat on a towel-lined work surface. Cut the stem from each grape leaf, as needed. (NOTE: Fresh grape leaves also need to be blanched for 1/2 minute.)
  • To assemble the dolmades, place 1 grape leaf on the work surface, dull side (or underside) of the leaf up. Place 1 to 2 teaspoons of rice filling near the stem end of the leaf. Fold the stem (bottom) end up over the filling, fold the sides toward the filling in the center, then roll up the leaf into a small cylindrical package, being careful not to fold too tightly, as the rice will expand during cooking.
  • Place the dolmades in a large Dutch oven or wide saute pan, seam side down. Combine the remaining cup of olive oil and juice of 1 lemon, and pour over the dolmades. Cover with a heavy plate or baking dish and add water to cover to the level of the plate. Bring to a boil, lower heat, and simmer for 1 hour, or until rice is tender.
  • Serve at room temperature, with Kicked Up Tzatziki as a dipping sauce.
  • In a medium bowl combine all the ingredients and chill for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to marry.
  • Combine all ingredients thoroughly and store in an airtight jar or container.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 2h15m

Yield 50 dolmathes, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 (1 lb) jar grape leaves, packed in brine
1/2 cup olive oil
2 large onions, finely chopped
4 green onions, finely chopped
1 1/2 cups long-grained converted rice
1 cup water
2 tablespoons chopped fresh spearmint (or 1 tblsp dried, crumbled)
3 tablespoons chopped fresh dill (don't use dried no matter what)
1/3 cup pine nuts, toasted
1/3 cup currants
1 1/2-2 cups water (enough to just cover dolmathes along with olive oil)
3/4 cup olive oil
1 lemon, juice of
lemon juice, for serving at table
Greek yogurt, for serving at table

Steps:

  • Saute onions in ½ cup olive oil until translucent.
  • Wash and drain rice well and add to onion along with 1 cup of water.
  • Cook for 10 minutes.
  • Add herbs, pine nuts, currants and salt and white pepper to taste.
  • Set aside to cool.
  • Prep leaves by rinsing well under running water and blanch in boiling water for 2-3 minutes.
  • Cut off any tough stems by cutting a V around the stem, and discarding stem.
  • Place 1 leaf on flat surface, shiny side down, add 1 teaspoon of filling and roll LOOSELY (as for a tiny eggroll, tucking in sides first and then rolling up), as rice will expand during cooking.
  • Place seam side down on bottom of large saucepan which has been covered with a layer of thicker grape leaves (rejects from your jar - they may be very thick, therefore, not tender or torn and not suitable for being used as a wrapper- these protect the dolmathes from scorching).
  • Repeat each grape leaf in same manner until all are used, packing them in tight- one next to the other- seam side down.
  • Add 1 1/2- 2 cups water, dash salt, 3/4 cup olive oil and the juice of 1 lemon (enough liquid to just cover the dolmathes).
  • Cover with a heavy plate to keep dolmathes immersed in liquid, and simmer for 45 minutes, or until rice is cooked.
  • Serve cold or at room temperature as a'meze'.
  • Nice served with a squeeze of lemon and/or a dollop of greek yogurt on top.
  • For Vegan option omit the yogurt.

DOLMADES (STUFFED GRAPE LEAVES WITH CURRANTS AND PISTACHIO)



Dolmades (Stuffed Grape Leaves with Currants and Pistachio) image

Provided by Bobby Flay

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h40m

Yield about 30

Number Of Ingredients 13

Kosher salt
One 8-ounce jar grape leaves, drained, rinsed and drained again
1/2 cup high-quality Greek olive oil
1 medium Spanish onion, finely diced
Freshly ground black pepper
1 cup long-grain rice
1 cup chicken stock, vegetable stock or water
1/4 cup currants, plumped in hot stock or water
Finely grated zest of 2 lemons plus 6 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/3 cup finely chopped fresh dill
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
1/4 cup coarsely chopped toasted pistachios or pine nuts

Steps:

  • Prepare an ice bath. Bring a large pot of water to a boil; add 1 tablespoon salt. Add the grape leaves and gently mix to separate them. Reduce the heat to simmer and cook for 10 minutes. Drain well, plunge into the ice bath and let cool for 2 minutes. Drain well again, separate and lay out on baking sheets lined with paper towels in a single layer. Remove 5 or so of the small or torn leaves and reserve for the bottom of the pan.
  • Heat 1/4 cup of the oil in a medium high-sided saute pan over high heat. Add the onion, season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring, until the onion is very soft, about 5 minutes; do not allow it to color. Add the rice and cook, stirring constantly, until opaque, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the stock, currants and 2 tablespoons of the lemon juice; season with salt and pepper. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, uncovered and stirring a few times, until the rice absorbs the liquid, about 7 minutes. (The rice will only be par-cooked; it will continue to cook in the leaves.) Spread the rice out on a baking sheet to cool.
  • When the rice is cooled, stir in the dill, parsley, green onion, pistachios and lemon zest; taste for seasoning.
  • Lay a grape leaf on a work surface shiny-side down. Scoop 1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons of the filling (depending on the size of the leaf) in your hand and lightly mold it into a log. Put the rice filling near the stem end of the leaf, fold the stem end over the filling, then fold both sides toward the middle and roll up into a cigar. Continue with the remaining leaves and filling.
  • Lay the reserved grape leaves on the bottom of a small Dutch oven (this will keep the dolmades from sticking). Tightly fit the dolmades in the pan in a concentric circle, making several layers if needed. Drizzle some of the remaining lemon juice over each layer. Add enough water or stock to just come halfway up the side of the rolls (do not cover them) and drizzle with the remaining olive oil and a pinch of salt.
  • Cut out a round of parchment to fit over the dolmades. Place a plate on top of the parchment and a bowl on top of the plate (to hold the rolls down while cooking). Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce to a simmer, cover the pot and cook (making sure it is simmering and not boiling), until the rice is cooked through, about 30 minutes. Remove from the heat and let sit, covered, for 10 minutes longer.
  • Carefully remove the rolls to a serving dish. Serve warm, at room temperature or cold.

DOLMADES (STUFFED GRAPE LEAVES)



Dolmades (Stuffed Grape Leaves) image

Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h40m

Yield about 30 dolmades

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 large yellow onion, finely chopped
1 small fennel bulb, halved, cored and diced
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1/2 cup pine nuts
1 cup long-grain rice
1 1/2 cups chicken stock
2 tablespoons finely chopped dill leaves
1/4 cup finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 (8-ounce) jar grape leaves, rinsed and drained
2 lemons, juiced

Steps:

  • To make the filling, coat a large saute pan with 1/4 cup of the oil and place over medium heat. Add the onion, fennel and lemon zest and stir until soft, about 10 minutes. Add the pine nuts and rice, saute for 2 minutes, stirring to coat. Pour in just 1/2 cup of the chicken stock and lower the heat. Simmer until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is al dente, about 10 minutes. Scrape the parboiled rice mixture into a bowl and add the dill and parsley; season with salt and pepper. Allow to cool. Now on to the grape leaves.
  • Bring a big pot of water to a simmer. Blanch the grape leaves in the hot water for 5 minutes until pliable. Drain then trim the stems and any hard veins from the leaves. Pat dry with paper towels.
  • To assemble the dolmades, lay a grape leaf on a work surface, shiny-side down. Put 2 tablespoons of the rice filling near the stem end of the leaf. Fold the stem end over the filling, then fold both sides toward the middle, and roll up into a cigar ¿ it should be snug but not overly tight because the rice will swell once it is fully cooked. Squeeze lightly in the palm of your hand to secure the roll. Repeat with remaining grape leaves and filling.
  • Place the dolmades in a large Dutch oven or wide deep skillet, seam-side down in a single layer. Pour the remaining cup of broth, remaining olive oil, and the lemon juice over the dolmades, the liquid should reach halfway up the rolls, add some water if necessary. Cover the pan and simmer over low heat for 30 to 40 minutes, until the dolmades are tender when pierced with a fork. Serve warm, at room temperature or cool.

Stuffed Grape leaves is an economical dish as well as very nutritious and diet friendly. This recipe is tried and true. Once you make these you will never purchase prepared stuffed grape leaves. If you do not care for lamb you can omit and increase the ground beef. You can also use fresh grape leaves if there are vines in your area. Just pick the leaves and follow the recipe.
